ABOUT ME

I'm a relaxed pensive person who likes to meet new people with new perspectives from all over the world and have long somewhat sober conversations about life that go until the early hours of the morning. I like learning new languages too.

PHILOSOPHY

Everybody has something to teach you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to Paraguay. It was a trip that kind of came out of nowhere. I didn't know what to expect. I just needed to get away.

I stayed with a friend in Asunción and fell in love with the place. It's a country without many obvious touristy things to do but there is just something about the land and the people, a certain passionate intensity. You fall in love with the country in spite of itself. It was almost magical.

And when I came back to São Paulo, Brazil, I met the love of my life. It was a good trip all in all.

Teach, Learn, Share

I dunno. I guess I could teach you some American slang if you wanted or show you how to dance samba.
