About Me

I am really bad at describing my self, I don't see my self fitting in any specific category, maybe independent, traveller, communicator, curious and open-minded are the concepts that can describe me the best. I am air. My number one interest is our humane way of coexisting, culture.

Interests

I am interested in everything that is life. I really enjoy observing animals (humans and non-humans). If I would categorize my interests, they probably are anthropology, history, arts (every type of arts), 2nd hand shopping, traveling (of course), permaculture, wander about the universe...

Music, Movies, and Books

I am into every type of music, literally. I think every music genre has something interesting, and at least something different. But hip hop, reggae and afro beat is what I am mostly into.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can do a little bit of everything... Let's start with food...people usually say I am great with cooking vegan food. I've even started a small business with a friend selling some hamburgers and vegan cakes on some college parties. I am also used to do gardening and farming, since I grew up in the country side. Me and my parents always had a little organic garden with fruits and vegetables.
Additionally, I loveee kids and have some work experience with the small ones. I've worked for 2 months in an orphanage in Salvador, Brasil, with children from 1 year old to 13.
I speak fluently at least 3 languages: Portuguese (my mother tongue), English (master level) and Spanish (school-of-life level ahah). So I consider that I am also able to teach any of these languages, at least portuguese and english for sure. Considering that I am a big nerd, some of my biggest passions are philosophy and history, I think that I am also very capable of sharing some historical knowledge, specially on portuguese, brazilian and european history. I have skills on academic and journalistic writing, since my degree was on Communications and I've had an internship on a portuguese famous newspaper, Jornal de Noticias.
Pet sitting is also a check on my skills, I love animals and I was raised surrounded by animals, my dream when I was young was to be a vet, so I also know quite a bit about pets ahah. Besides all of this, I am used to do house paintings, renovations and all types of DIY house projects. I've helped renovating and painting the hostel I've worked during the summer. Currently, I have been working on a sneakers store, kind of like Footlocker, so I guess you can consider a skill knowledge about sneakers, not only brands, aesthetics, etcc, but also technical details.
