I am Brazilian, I am 19 years old and I am currently studying in Montpellier - France. I'm from Brazil, from an island called Florianopolis, full of beautiful natural landscapes and beaches. That is how I grew close to the environment and developed a huge passion for the area, which led me to attend Environmental Engineering. In Montpellier I study agronomy with an approach focused on the management of water and the environment. I will be living in Europe for 1 year and I hope to meet amazing people, show some of my culture and experience new ones. I'm interested in nature, history, music. My sister is an architect and has always encouraged me to value the historical patrimony of places and see their role in understanding history.
For 3 years I decided to become a vegetarian, both because in Brazil we have a serious environmental problem related to the consumption of water in agriculture and deforestation for livestock, both for animal rights.
Speaking of which, I love animals, both dogs and cats!
In case you stay in your house, I propose to tell you a little of my experience in Brazil and France, and if you are interested I can prepare a typical dish of these places!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went camping in a city in Brazil, Urubici, with my three sisters. We were far from the city and made a bonfire to bake vegetables. There was a giant spider in our tent and we managed to pull it off!
