I'm Brazilian, from Olinda/PE. I just ended up graduating from law school and I decided to spend a few months traveling to try to find a purpose in life, although it sounds cliché, it's just how I feel.

I've always loved to help people, so that I believe that solidarity is indispensable. I believe that family, friends, music (and food) are the motives of my happiness.

Also I love traveling and more than that, I love meeting new people. Thrilled to learn about different cultures. Fascinated by history and coffee.

Also I can teach you some Portuguese, if you want to.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I was an intern from the Brazilian public defender for two years. For those who do not know, the public defender only meets those in Misery's situation. In that period, I came across touching stories and from there, I realized how privileged I am to have a family structured and who loves me, something to eat and a place to sleep. I realized how much the world still needs to evolve until we can offer all the people of the world, without exception, dignity of life. Finally, I learned to value the little things in life.
