Olá! Ciao! Hello! Hola! Bonjour!

I'm Gean Álef, Brazilian passionate about learning and experiencing life and different ways of living. I live in Rio de Janeiro, where I study, work and fulfill myself through my social relationships, my cultural experiences and my constant search to always build something new in my life. I speak Portuguese (native), English (C1) and I'm working on my Italian (B1).

I'm a friendly, smiling person who loves to help. Calm, open-minded and who knows how to respect differences and diversities.
