Music, Movies, and Books

I love Brazilian music, especially MPB, and carnival music you smile when you dance to. For books, I mostly enjoy romantic dramas with historical backgrounds, but I've recently read Women who run with wolves; my favorite from the recent reads.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've gone to Colombia with a class subject in university and I've seen young groups of architects that make the difference through social projects and new ways of thinking the cities. That impressed me and I later did my final project on the urban planner/architects role in underpriviledged environments by conducting some research in a favela in my home town and later a parallel one in Cambodia, understanding children's perception of the space around them and how incoming architects alter that.

When I was 16 I've hosted a wonderful Australian exchange student in High School, and that is probably one of the reasons I'm so keen to meeting people from other nationalities.

I've done some pretty awesome treks I'd be happy to talk about as well. The best probably being part of the Camino de Santiago with my mum - she's an enthusiast of it, has walked many different versions of it many times - and it was a quite strong experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could help if you want to learn English or Portuguese through conversation, Spanish maybe also, some Brazilian food... I'm interested in learning pretty much anything

What I Can Share with Hosts

a meal; a cold beer and a nice talk; a warm hug; anything really!
