About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am happy, I want to keep my hapiness and I want to make people around me happy as well.

ABOUT ME

Welcome ! I love travelling a lot, I am open-minded and love to meet new people and get to know new cultures. I appreciate having the opportunity to speak foreign languages along with the experience of meeting new special people.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in a positive attitude, in love and compassion. Leaving in a real melting pot as Brazil is (where arabs marry jews, african-americans marry caucasians and native indians since our very beginning as a nation (from year 1500 onwards), I am sure that everybody around the world has the same aspirations: to be happy, to have a home, education, to be free to make their own choices.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lived in Morocco for almost two months giving speeches on Brazil (in french) at the Rotary Club International branches. I have visited many special places in this exquisite country and I was very thrilled to have had this special opportunity. I strongly recommend a visit to the country.

I have been visiting Moscow since 2013, when I took up a course in the Russian language. I am trying to speak the language, although I may find it very difficult. Practice makes perfection but, concerning the russian language, I have to do a lot of practicing.

I have a friend there and I have really loved all special things this huge city has to offer: fantastic museums, amazing parks, big shopping malls, libraries, theaters, night life...

If you live for four years in Moscow you will not have the time to see all the interesting things this city has to offer.

Please bear in mind I have no interest in politics... I visit Russia because it has a huge amount of history, amazing parks and green areas - spectacular nature, excellent museums, vibrant nightlife, good food, etc...

Teach, Learn, Share

I was an executive assistant to the President of BHP Billiton in Brazil.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Please note that as I have a small apartment unfortunately I cannot host guys...

As I am retired, I am free almost every day to show the city and fool around, as long as I am not travelling.

I have blankets, towels, etc...

I can share my love for nature, literature, movies as well as my interest in reading, taking long walks and having fun, some cook sessions (only Brazilian food) and my travel and languages experiences.
