CURRENT MISSION

Currently living in Vietnam, exploring Asia, meeting amazing people and colecting stories to tell my grandchildren some day!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Vitoria, had my moments: played a lot in my childhood, than became an athlete (soccer, running, long jump, judo), when I started high school I traveled all over the country either for sports or politics, I was involved in students' causes. I had my first international experience when I was 16, last year of high school. I went to the US as an exchange student, spent a whole year there, half in New Mexico and half in California, where I graduated.
When I came back home I had changed, I needed more of that interesting experience of sharing culture, learning about a different people and let them learn from me a little of my own.
I've started journalism school for the first time in 2005, dropped out, started over, dropped out again. Worked in a cruise ship for two years while working on my dive education. Just got my instructor certification, quit my Wine Tender job on Royal Caribbean, am backpacking in Europe till mid August and will work in Vietnam from September on.
