ABOUT ME
. The urge of new experiences keeps me in constant movement then I no longer belong to a fixed place. I've had interest in different cultures and languages since I was younger and this makes visiting a new country one of my greatest pleasures.
I actually grew up with multicultural influences! My family is from Portugal and as my mother is a researcher in nanomaterial engineer, I've learned a lot with her russian friends who live in Brazil. I could eventually be in Russia and I'm glad for that chance!! Graduated in International Relations, my first internship experience was done in New Zealand where I could improve my languages by working at a multicultural environment, becoming more motivated about exploring new cultures and countries!!
In general, each country I visit will be part of me. I truly believe that a new language gives you a new viewpoint about life because it allows you to understand how people from a certain culture think and see the world.
PHILOSOPHY
Think positive to create positive, because when we think on this way, we attract good things

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The great time I had during my studies in New Zealand, I cannot forget the breathtaking landscapes I've seen in that place.

Taking care about children in countryside France to help my cousin, interesting experience.
