Hello! I am from Brazil and currently studying European Forestry at the University of Eastern Finland. I grew up in Brazil and have been to a lot of places there, from the hot forests in the tropics to the amazing mountains in the cold south. I like to travel and meet new places, not only their landscapes but also their people and their culture. I am a very calm person, who enjoys walks in the forest and pleasant conversations.

Interests

I like sports, specially beach volleyball, table tennis, squash, and badminton. I also like board games, card games, and role playing games, or any other games in general =D I also like to dance and know a little bit of salsa, bolero and samba.

Music, Movies, and Books

I know how to play the guitar and a little bit of the violin, so basically I like a lot of different types of music. I can say I particularly like pop in general, rock, classical, and electronic music too.

I enjoy reading fiction. Lately I have been reading Agatha Christie, Bram Stoker, Arthur Conan Doyle, Aldous Huxley. Right now I am going through the Dark Tower series from Stephen King.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Finland I dared to stay inside a sauna for 40 min and then getting out of it and run straight to a near frozen lake and jump into it. I couldn't stay in the water for more than 10 seconds, but it was worth it. After you get out of the water and enter the sauna again, the relief is amazing =) It has healing properties.
