ABOUT ME

Hi everyone, I consider myself to be a cultural mutt. I was born in Brazil, grew up in Portugal and matured in the US. And I'm Chinese. So I'm a 'citizen of the world' if you will. Love languages and being immersed in new cultures, and I find that travelling helps you understand the world better!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to waste. Live it to the fullest and never allow yourself to be bored or restricted. Some of my favorite quotes are below:

"You have to go through hell before you can know heaven"

"Whether you think you can or you can't, either way you're right." - Henry Ford

"Nothing in the world can take place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." - Calvin Coolidge

"If u wanna achieve something that most people won't achieve, you have to do something most people won't do."
