About Me

CURRENT MISSION

graduating haha

ABOUT ME

I was born in Brazil although at early age I found out my soul was in Paris. Have lived for short periods in the US, Italy and in South Africa and right now I am in the middle of an internship with UNESCO in Vietnam!

I guess I am just a loner used to walk around trying to figure out everything that comes to my mind at night when I can't sleep.

PHILOSOPHY

I try not to miss the instants of beauty in life, the little things (gestures, details) that make everything else worth living for...I guess my main goal is to always see colors when the world seems grey. Could I be more cliché?
