One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've driven on the wrong side of the road in UK (believe me, it's hard :P).

I've also led a group of volunteer workers in a YMCA camp near Chicago, Illinois (You can see us in my pictures. The group is adorable, isn't it?)

Driving at night through the icy roads of Iceland searching for the Northern Lights - and finding them - was also amazingly incredible ! :D

Hiking the Trolltunga in Norway Aug/2015 was also astonishing.

Teach, Learn, Share

They say every Brazilian know how to do caipirinhas, but that isn't true! Fortunately I've been blessed with the gift of doing nice caipirinhas (or capivodkas)... Very humble of myself. haha.

I've gained a lot of expertise of living and travelling on a budget in Europe, mainly when you are a student. I can totally give tips and hints about that!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you thousands of ways of wasting your time on the internet! Believe it or not, it is possible. Jokes.
