I'm a 37 year-old easy-going, smily, sunny Brazilian-Finn. A truly international person, well-travelled and have lived in many countries throughout my entire life, initially because of my father's work, then after uni because of my work with UNICEF, trying to help save the world's children. I enjoy a good laugh, jogging, swimming, being outdoors, a good glass of wine and a nice/fun chat, reading novels, watching films, hiking, sailing and diving. I pretty much like life a whole lot.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach host(s) English (I'm a certified English teacher) and other languages. I'd love to learn more languages and improve the ones I already know. On my hit list: Greek.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good chat, love for languages, many tales of many countries, deep & light-hearted conversations, optimism, good/positive energy, cooking brunch/breakfast (I possibly make the best omelettes ever!), making smoothies and helping out with washing dishes.

Countries I’ve Lived In
