CURRENT MISSION

South America Dec 2013-Jan2014 - PERU: Machu Pichu / Lima , RIO: Volunteer, Learn Portuguese, Ipanema beach!

ABOUT ME

I have never thought to describe myself as a traveler - mostly because my image of a traveler is someone who comes by plane, goes around by bus and leaves without having met anyone or experienced the culture!
Saying that, I love traveling and I am using the holidays from my high school teacher job to do a lot of it! When I travel I will always look for ways to meet people and really become part of the culture.
I have lived in Japan and now teach Japanese and English in Sydney, Australia.
In the last December-January holidays, I traveled to Beijing for 5 weeks, went to language school and had a blast!
My next stop is Rio, where I will be volunteering as well as working on my Portuguese! Nice to meet you! É um prazer conhecê-lo!
