About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm young and as young people usually do, I want to change the world. But I don't know how. So, I decided to allow people to into my world to make it better. Maybe this way we'll not change the world, but we can change our lifes.

ABOUT ME

I am a journalism student. In Brazil, I occupy my day time with the college and the laboratory journal or with internship and outreach programs. The nights, in turn, are occupied by out with friends, movies, trips to my favorite places in town, wine and evening conversations with family, good books and texts that I like to write. The weekends are fully dedicate to parties, friends and sunny days in the park (when work is not taking my time). The exchange at the Port is dedicated to all of this and a little more of parties.

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is to use journalism and what else I study to change the world, to live in peace with people around me, being a vegetarian and make special all the small details of everyday life.
