ABOUT ME
I'm from Brazil, born and raised in a small town called Lavras in the state of Minas Gerais. Surrounded by magical and inspiring mountains... I have studied English / Portuguese for 2 years at the local University. After quitting the institution I lived in Romania for one year and worked in a European Union social/cultural project called Young Volunteers for Rural Action (based on nonformal education). I have also worked as an English Teacher for a year and a half; now I have been studying Spanish, some permaculture and traveling around South America.

PHILOSOPHY
"To the span of my existence I give an occult meaning that goes beyond me. I'm a concomitant being: I gather in me time past, the present and the future, the time that pulses in the tick-tock of the clocks"
- Clarice Lispector (Água Viva)

"A la duración de mi existencia doy una significación oculta que me sobrepasa. Soy un ser concomitante: reúno en mí el tiempo pasado, el presente y el futuro, el tiempo que late en el tic-tac de los relojes."
- Clarice Lispector (Água Viva)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Seeing a free brown bear in Romania in its habitat (half consumed by men) and then another one just walking through the streets of a village.

Ver un oso pardo libre en Rumania en su hábitat (la mitad consumido por el hombre) y luego otro caminando por las calles de un pueblo.

I can't predict what I could share, it sounds pretentious and fake. But I could share a little of Brazilian culture, Portuguese language and so on (:
