I live in Volta Redonda, a small city in the State of Rio de Janeiro one and a half hour away from the capitol.

I'm a 29 year-old brazilian photographer, filmmaker and English teacher.
I've recently finished my undergraduate degree in Enlgish and Portuguese languages and literature. I love teaching and learning from my students. It's an awesome exchange and it's also very rewarding. I have a huge passion for languages and linguistics so I’ve been focusing in this career so I haven’t photographed as much.
I also love traveling and trying new things.
As a photographer I love exploring different cities, observing the changing scenery, lights, colors. Traveling is an amazing way to influence my photographic eye.
I love pets.
I don't smoke

Music, Movies, and Books

Well, rock is my favorite kind of music but I don't have a favorite band

I love TV series such as Game of Thrones, Dexter and Friends.
I like all kinds of movies but horror is my favorite one.
