I'm Brazilian and I've been already traveling in South America but now I'm going for my first truly overseas trip. I work with chemical engineering - environmental issues - so I don't have all the time I'd like to travel. I love to meet new people and I'm really excited to visit Ireland and Scotland.

Teach, Learn, Share

“Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else... Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.” Hermann Hesse
