One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Since I have studied foreign languages in Bolivia, French Guyana, France, USA, South Africa and Italy, I had the chance to learn and travel a lot! I have also been a missionary/volunteer in Rwanda (Africa) and Taiwan (Asia) as well as been a trainee at the EU in Belgium… Some interesting experiences I had in my life: hiked the Kilimanjaro, rafted the Nile river, visited Zanzibar, went on safaris all over in Africa, taught English to Taiwanese children, etc, etc….
Teach, Learn, Share
I have played classic piano and flute for several years. I also sing in a youth choir in Brazil (200 voices). So, I am a music lover! Learnt several languages as well, apart from Portuguese, my mother tongue...An experienced traveler who is always looking for new opportunities and different experiences.
