Opa! I'm Filipe Torres, a friendly Brazilian from Rio, totally optimist and enthusiast with many dreams. One of them was to go to Europe, being part of who I am for the 8 years that I passed planning and saving enough money for it.

(Updating: I was in Europe in 2015 for almost one year and is was far better than I could ever dream.)

Back in Rio, I finished studying International Relations, so travelling and learning about a new cultures can be considered essential for my life as much as to breath.

I could say that I'm a typical Brazilian, but what do I mean with it? Well, I'd say that bringing a smile with yourself, facing life with good energies doesn't matter the hard challenges that might appear

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been a painter in France, a barman in a Spanish Hostel and even an English teacher for Russian children by AIESEC!

I went from Rio to Chile on a ship piloted by my uncle and came back on long journey of three days in a bus! That was my first and only opportunity to finally see snow. How is almost killed me is another story.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you my grandmother recipes and share my opinions about politics and the world. I am sincerely opened for a debate.

You may also like a few tips with Spanish and Portuguese. I'd have all the pleasure to help with them.
