About Me

Hi there ! Working in the humanitarian sector for the protection of refugees, I lived in several countries: Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia and the United kingdom. After one nomadic year traveling, I just moved to Panama some weeks ago. During my free time I love to paint on fabric and going for hiking or other outdoor adventures. I also love contemporary art, latin dances, independent movies and reading. I would love to meet both people living or traveling in Panama.

Para lazer, eu gosto pintar em tecido, fazer trekking e outras aventuras. Também gosto de arte contemporânea, danças latinas, filmes independentes, novelas, etc. Eu gostaria muito conhecer pessoas que morram o viajam no Panama.
