About Me

I am Brazilian, I am studying Architecture and Urbanism in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. I love learning about languages and cultures, I like traveling without plans and meet people and unusual places.

I lived for a year in Cartagena, Spain. Was one of the most amazing years of my life! I knew many countries around Europe, and I learned a lot about travel.

My trip more memorable I started alone, taking a plane from Spain to Holland and from there no plans, went through Germany and Czech republic by bus, where, in Prague, I met two Turksh guys who have become my favorite traveling companions. We passed the Slovakia, Austria and Hungary by hitchhiking and camping, knowing unusual places and having the craziest experiences! In Serbia, I met the reality of refugees from the Syria closely, and where I met a very brave brazilian couple, who -almost- jumped out of a mountain and with whom I went to Bulgaria. In Sofia I met a Basque guy who had the longest and crazy experience of the world to Macedonia , and upon arrival was Skopje, the weirdest city has ever seen. Returning to Serbia with the basque guy, I knew his friends brigands also basques, trailer traveling from the east, playing countries songs went to croatia, which said goodbye to everyone and finally going to the country that I wanted to know more: Bosnia. And, of course, there had unexpected adventures and new experiences, unexpectedly. Many of these people have become friends for life and no longer wait to cross the ocean to recover everything and everyone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At first, it seems easy for many people, but, leave my family, my country and live in another continent is the most amazing thing I ever done!! On this way I got courage, I lost many fears that I had, and now I am a lover about travels and adventures!! I am a better person now, and I done things that I never thought that i would be able!! I put my bag and I was travel alone and was travel without money! Thousand things that I will never forget ;D
