Hello, my name is Leonardo. I am 22 years old and I am from Brazil. I work as a geography teacher in both middle school and high school. I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in health geography. I will be going to Portugal for an exchange program at the University of Coimbra, and I also plan to travel to several countries across Europe.

I enjoy dancing, listening to music, and theater. I like movies, especially classic films from old Hollywood. I am interested in different cultures and languages. I enjoy going out not only at night, but also during the day, visiting historical monuments. In the future, I intend to work as a book writer and as an actor.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once part of a theater company, but I had to leave due to recently moving to another city; however, I intend to return this year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Portuguese, share knowledge about geography and cultural traditions from my country, cook typical Brazilian dishes, and teach Brazilian dances such as axé, funk, and samba.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a cultural exchange experience by sharing a bit of my Brazilian culture. I would be happy to bring small souvenirs from my city (Campo Grande- MS) teach some Portuguese, and share Brazilian traditions and customs. I also enjoy cooking, so I can prepare typical Brazilian dishes, both savory and sweet. Additionally, I’m open to helping with daily tasks and creating a friendly and respectful environment.
