CURRENT MISSION learn... always learn! ABOUT ME Hello everyone! Hope you are having a beautiful day! It's hard to write about one self, but most importantly I want you to know that I am just the typical girl next door. Full of life, fun-loving, someone who appreciates honesty and someone with many hopes and dreams. I lived in Portland Oregon for seven years, first moving there as an exchange student, and then going back for college! I went back to my home country, Portugal, on October 2006 and moved to Japan in June of 2007! I have the travel bug and I love meeting new places and people! I am currently teaching English in Japan, and I see this as a great new change in my life, even though it..s never easy when we start a new life in a country where you don..t speak the language and you can't understand the signs but I am very thrilled for this opportunity and learning new things each day that passes! I enjoy laughing and people who are funny and silly like me! I am also very social and love meeting new people. If you are fun-loving, honest, someone with a big heart who hopes to make the world a better place, then you are my friend... PHILOSOPHY 'To better a life is to better the world'
