CURRENT MISSION

I hunger for dynamic and inteligent people who can teach me something.

ABOUT ME

That's too complicated. I'm a Gemini: always a surprise! But pratical, spontaneous, straight and honest, always in a rush, very curious and eager for more.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't leave for tomorrow what u can do today.
Don't do to others what u wouldn't like to have done to u.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A 3 weeks journey through Italy in my Yaris, buying my own home and all kind of surprise parties for my friends, when they deserve it, and when they don't. (summary: I really need some news experiencies!).

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to develop my French and Italian skills and to widen my general culture. In return, I can offer: nice guided tours through Porto (that provides one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world - the view of Ribeira); some basic knowledges in Portuguese (not as "sugary" as Brazilian Portuguese); or a few lessons on how to prepare some of our dishes (not recommended for people in diet).

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Cuba, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Luxembourg, Monaco, Morocco, Netherlands, San Marino, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, Vatican City State
