Full time student, so rarely able to host, but let me know if you want to hang out!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
This might not be an amazingly unbelievable story, but it touched my heart (and I'm not one for clichés):
The first time I was in Brazil we stayed a few nights at my friend Milton's house in the favela. They had nothing.. The walls were made of hollow bricks and the roof of tin, they had one bedroom, a kitchen and a backyard which also functioned as a bathroom.
Still, Milton and his mom insisted we take the bed and they would sleep on the kitchen floor. The next morning they baked a cake and bought fruit to serve us for breakfast and were the best hosts ever throughout our stay.
They had nothing, still they gave us everything!!
Countries I’ve Lived In
Brazil, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain
