About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"What day is it?" asked Pooh; "It's today." squeaked Pidglet; "My favorite day" said Pooh.

ABOUT ME

I am a girl who was born in Brazil and actually studying in Spain for a semester!
In these few months, I've been travelling, knowing people and getting a priceless knowledge of life, people and cultures.

I believe happiness is about loving your day-by-day, doing whatever satisfies you, being near the people who you love. But this is only possible when you know yourself really well, accept your own mistakes and is flexible enough to be able to coexist with people who have different opinions, believes, cultures, habits, reactions, preferences.
The world around you is changing every second, if you're not able to adapt to these changes, then you may not be able to be a happy and pleasant person.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is transitory

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think there are two experiences I've been through that makes me feel really proud of myself and definately were absolutely important to build to I am now.

The first one was to be part of the Athletics of my University. Living so close and organize sportive activities and all the other stuff this institution provides to the students (parties, competitions, scavenger hunts, receive the fresh ones...) changed who I am. Now I am able to deal with really complex situations or events, and I also learned a lot about myself and people in general. It was a huge challenge, but an amazing experience.

The second one it's being my exchange study. Live in another country and travel so often gives me a freedom and independence sensation I just love. Besides, it's also incredible to learn so much about culture, people, all the differences existing in our world. It made me realize how small I am and how much I love my country!
