About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meet new people and cultures

ABOUT ME

I was born in Vitoria (Espirito Santo), Brazil... a beautiful city surrounded by water, with a great weather all year!

When I was 17 I went to Germany as exchange student, and I spent one year there, in the greatest host-family ever (which I still consider as my family)! I had amazing experiences in Germany, met a lot of people around the world, learned to respect different cultures, and traveled a lot around Europe!

After that, I went to France for my second exchange (work exchange). I was in Paris for 3 months and worked in a restaurant there! During this time I also enjoyed my time there to travel and get to know different places!!!

I studied Psychology in Brazil, finished my master there in 2012, now I'm living in the US, doing my PhD in Human Development. I love traveling, hang out with friends, dance, going to the beach, swim, run, enjoy life, etc. My mind is always on my next destinations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A beautiful natural phenomenon at the ocean that makes the water luminescent when you move (phytoplankton) - swim at night and see the water lighting in blue-green tones around me was simply spectacular!!
The first time that I saw a frozen cobweb and the sun coming through it!!
The unique moments with friends and travels in which we share experiences, memories, fun, stories... living the moment... meet all kind of different people, from all over the world, and have always something to learn from them!
