CURRENT MISSION

teaching and learning... to make my students better than me, so they can solve the problems we've created.

ABOUT ME

Difficult to describe myself because I like so many different things... I'm that kind of person who is happy about having a glass of wine/beer, listening to music at my couch if possible followed by nice chat...hmmmm that's so goooood! But also I'm very excited about going out to a bar and why not dancing!!!

In general I consider myself a cheerful and emotional person who enjoys meeting new people, sharing life experiences and looking for challenges. I like to listen, but also like when the others listen to me. I appreciate to talk about different topics just to hear different points of view. I always respect others opinion, even when I disagree.

I appreciate people who are straight forward, honest and eager to exchange life experiences!

I'm a very hard working professor, which means my time is really limited. Thus, my availability to meet up/host is also be very limited. But I'll do my best!

I'd rather host women, however men is not totally impossible, especially if I find great recommendations/references in your profile.

At my place you'll find a room and a bathroom just for yourself. I don't have TV, but internet is available, of course! I live at walking distance to the Santa Monica UFU campus and public transportation is also closeby. Airport is a bit far,~30 reais by cab.

PHILOSOPHY: I'm vegan and love to help everyone! My political view is definetely in the left wing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Finland for 5 years. The opportunity to learn in terms not only of science, but also culture differences, was amazing!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm mostly interested in culture and that includes: politics, religion, vegan food/cooking, music, dancing, movies, books, not necerssarily in that order :)
I can teach you about Brazilian culture.

And finally, but not less important, I'd love to listen to your life stories, from the funny/good to the boring and bad ones.
