Overview
About Me
I am a Brazilian Scout, and an International Relations bachelor graduated currently working in Denmark.
I have lived in different cities and States across Brazil since I was born, which provided with a lot of chances to meet wonderful people and places, build great friendships and experiences, and be aware about social and enverioment problems our region faces.
I love to talk about politics (gender, race, economy, etc), astronomy, share and listen life stories, specially if someone has a good sense of humor and enjoy making story telling as vivid as it can be. At first I might be a bit shy, but once I am comfortable I can be very talkative, though I also enjoy quite time. I do not drink alcohol or smoke, I am always down for a cozy talk time having drinks though.
I am passionate about the cultures from where I come from, and I am always happy to share with people who are open and respectful about it, as well as learn about theirs. Also, I enjoy doing hand craft things, self learning languages (currently studying Spanish and Korean), some house maintenance work and trying learning new things while doing them.
Due to my scout life I have been able to be abroad and travel a few times, either to join event, for work or to reunite with international friends. I am now working in a Scout Center in southern Denmark, and soon I am moving to the UK for half an year as an activity instructor for school and scout groups.
Well, that's something about me, hopefully I will also learn something about you and yout culture if we meet.
Safe travels around the globe!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Climbed a 250m via Ferrata, in Switzerland, for the first time ever with a friend who later on told me that was her first climbing ever. We took the wrong hiking path and end up in the wrong valley on a freezing evening. Fortunately, before heading further into the mountains we met a gentle swiss farmer who could not speak english, but still decided to give as a ride late at night back to a hut. Might also include into one of the most stupid things I would not recomend doing haha, always have a map with you and be sure about the skills of the people you climb with.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach and help you learning some Portuguese or English; share, listen or play some music together if you have like acoustic guitar; cook some Brazilian simple meals or snacks; share ideas and thoughts on life;
I would be glad to find people who are willing to help me out with practicing Spanish, teach me some new styles in the acoustic guitar, share your life stories, recommend some books/movies to learn about your culture, or just enjoy some time walking around and talking.
What I Can Share with Hosts
If you are interested about Brazilian culture, I'd be happy to share it with you. I can cook some brazilian simple meals. Futhermore, I can help you out if you are learning Portuguese or English. I'm always up to some any kind of craft, maintanence work or general cleaning if you need some help. 😄
Always up to listen and share some good and funny travel or life stories, learn new languages/skills, have a nice conversations about any topic or just chill and enjoy a quite time.
