I'm a 21 year-old brazilian Law student, and I actually live in Rio de Janeiro with my grandparents. I was born in this town, but in 2001 I moved to a northern city called Vila Velha, where my parents live until now for working purposes, but I came back to Rio to study and mostly because I adore big cities and its lifestyle. I'm an aspiring lawyer, even though the brazilian political and judiciary systems mustn't function quite well. Music, arts, and travelling abroad are my favorite things in life. What I enjoy the most is having a nice conversation - it's the first step to dive into someone's interior and create a healthy connection. Watching movies, discovering new music and new artists, going to concerts, sightseeing, walking through cities and its remarkable references and, of course, eating and tasting different culinary are some of my favorite hobbies. I consider myself a very curious person and eager to learn more about the world. I pursue to evolve as a human being and get inspired in this planet which I know very little. There is so much out there I'm so looking forward to knowing. I guess I've always been adventurous and not afraid of anything. I'm seeking new perspective in life to try and understand every little aspect of myself, and exploring is a way to do it. Our time is so precious that we cannot afford to spend it frivolous. I want to make a difference, to help where I'm needed and absorb wisdom from all the people I get to know.
