About Me

CURRENT MISSION

World is wide and life is short. What are we waiting for?

ABOUT ME

Olá!

I have been living in São Paulo, Brazil, for the last 5 years after I left my hometown to go to college.

I have lived in the United States during my junior year of high school and have spent a semester in Spain studying at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.

I consider myself a communicative and outgoing person. I am really easy-going, it doesn't take much to make me feel happy and fullfilled. I love doing all kinds of stuff, and I think I am a very balanced person: I like to go out and party, but sometimes all I need is to chill out in a calm and peaceful place, or just stay at home listening to some good music.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once. Take the best you can from it. Have no regrets.

Books: Harry Potter's

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent one night on the Sahara desert and got the chance to talk to the native Berbers, who taught me a little about their culture and language. It was awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Portuguese and I'd love to talk a little bit about Brazil's culture.
I can cook and teach how to make brigadeiro, which is a delicious Brazilian sweet.
I'm willing to learn pretty much everything. One of the things I want to learn is how to surf.
Also, I'd love to learn Italian and French.
