Music, Movies, and Books
I love Brazilan Popular Music and Indie music. I'm mad for Amy Winehouse and Florence and the Machine's songs. My favourite movie is "Titanic" (I know, but it is what it is) and my favourite intellectualised movie is "Pride and Prejudice", which happens to be one of my favourite books as well, but my dearly favourite is "Filho de Mil Homens" by Valter Hugo Mãe.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've volunteered as an English teacher at a NGO inside slums and shanty towns in Rio de Janeiro. The experience of teaching English to children lacking of resources and having them fed with hope was priceless. Such an experience helped my in terms of self-developing and personal reflexion on what truly matters in life.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach how to cook Brazilian famous dishes, how to speak some Portuguese and I'm up to learn new and exciting things.
