Well, I'm passionate about education, and mainly, equity and access to education. I have been teaching English to speakers of other languages for more than 9 years (four of them in social projects) and I am currently working with EducationUSA, providing orientation to people interested in pursuing their studies in the United States. It makes me extremely happy to see my students and/or advisees doing well in life, no matter where they are, as long as they are willing to achieve their dreams. All I do is to give them a little boost of confidence, because they have what it takes!

I am currently doing my masters in admiration, where I am researching how Brazilian universities which are in the process of internationalization are providing opportunities to their students to develop their intercultural competence, a necessary skill desired to work well with people from different backgrounds.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

And because of my interest in meeting people from these backgrounds is why I decided to be part of Couchsurfing. It is a great way to meet people from different places that have exciting stories to tell. There is always the possibility of learning something new each time you meet someone new.

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

Because of grad school, all I do is read, read and read more, but basically articles from different scientific journals in the ara of education and marketing, another passion of mine.

When I can, I love to watch some series and also reality tv competition shows. My guilty pleasures are Survivor and The Amazing Race - isn't there a better show about traveling than this one?

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

well...visiting England was the best experience I have ever had. I loved it and I miss it so much. I visited some cities: London, Oxford, Paignton, Torquay, Plymouth, Cornwall, and others I can remember. It was my first exchange program where I got to study English and live in A great place. It was when I realized I could do well as a teacher.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

well....I like to learn with people and teach too, that's why I am a teacher. I love learning about langiuages, types of food and culture,and the people's life stories. Everybody has something to say, and I am here to listen.

I would love to learn more Spanish and Italian again.
