ABOUT ME
I am a happy and easy-going person. I like to travel and meet new people.
I love life and want to do and see as much as possible whilst I'm here.
I have a deep interest in cooking, music, beach, cultures etc..
I am a recent social work graduate. I currently work in a Salesians Social Project with underprivileged children in São Paulo state of Brazil.
I love kids, and I did volunteer work for 2 years with them before entering in university! It was a amazing experience for me!
When I was in university (2009 to 2013 - Ouro Preto - Minas Gerais) I used to live with 12 girls in a fraternity house, The name of our house is PARAÍSO (which mean paradise), We were like a family, and it still a big part of my life.
My main ambition in this life is to see as much as possible of the world, and meet as many different people I can along the way, hope fully I can learn from others along the way and hopefully teach them some thing as well.
