ABOUT ME

I'm Willian, I'm 21 years old and I'm from Brazil. I like to travel and to explore. I also love music, movies and learning new languages. I like to enjoy the simple things in life. I like things that I like, but I love everything.

I'm a high school graduate and I haven't started college yet, as I'm still thinking about the path that I would like to follow (right now it seems that International Relations is the right one).

When I was 19, I moved to the USA to work as an Au Pair and I lived there for 21 months. It was a great experience and I had the chance to meet wonderful people and places. I enjoyed it so much that I decided I was going to try to be an Au Pair in another country, so I'm currently living in the Netherlands and working as an Au Pair again (since August/2012).

PHILOSOPHY

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

"Sometimes, despite your best efforts otherwise, life will give you lemons. When that happens, you've got two choices: you can wear a sour face or make lemonade."

"As smoking is to the lungs, so is resentment to the soul."

"Be kind. For everyone you know is fighting a battle."

"In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take, the relationships we were afraid to have and the decisions we waited too long to make."

"What is the secret of success? Right decisions. How do you make right decisions? Experience. How do you get experience? Wrong decisions."
