About Me

Currently, some of my obsessions are design and sustainable fashion.
I love drawing, reading and travelling.. that can be with my friends or by myself, I enjoy it all.

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer fiction books. I love 1984, Harry Potter, and all Haruki Murakami.
I love art and design books with wonderful pictures for inspiration.
I prefer indie rock music, like The Killers, and I'm in love with Mumford and Sons right now. But I will listen to basically anything.
Movies..I like every kind of movie, it depends on the day. It could be terror or romantic comedies. Animation and documentaries as well!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would say all my experiences abroad were amazing. Not one thing specifically, but the chance to try to understand and be understood by people of so many different cultures is the most amazing thing for me. I enjoy the feeling that the world is so big, yet so small.
Although my six months in Indian still takes my breath away.

Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
(Mark Twain)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help with Portuguese language, and probably some drawing and painting.
I'm a terrible cook, although I can make some "brigadeiro" dessert!
