Please read my profile before sending me a request :)

I've always been fascinated by how people around the globe have different cultures, habits, lifestyle and way of perceiving the world. That's why since I was younger, I enjoyed meeting new people from other countries and places.

Because of that, I try to travel as much as possible, not only abroad, but also in my country, Brazil.

For me, my main motivation for travelling is meeting new people, and being in touch with other cultures. That's why in every opportunity I have, I try to talk to locals and learn about their places from another perspective.

As a forester, I am always keen to learn and discuss about our environment. If you want to have a chat about trees, I'm the right person!
