CURRENT MISSION

Living Life as Pure Adventure and Treating Life as Art.

ABOUT ME

I am a fun-loving and adventurous girl who enjoys meeting new people and having a good conversation. I love laughing, I love traveling, I love eating local cuisine, and I love languages. Traveling and living abroad has been part of my life for a very long time and I don't plan on stopping. I am an English teacher and teach internationally- at universities, multinational companies, and language schools. I love teaching and learning from my students. I am currently living in Turkey and teaching with the Fulbright program then I plan to move back to Brazil next year and continue to samba through life.

PHILOSOPHY

Live the life you love. Gratitude is never overrated. Be careful of your thoughts, they become your reality. Request...Believe...Receive...Repeat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to Peru and living in Cusco for the first time was amazing. To see and meet the warm-hearted Peruvian people and the indigenous people in their traditional dress was a great experience. To top it off I got to see Macchu Picchu and was there for Inti Raymi the festival of the Sun God.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love meeting people with interesting stories and points of views. I also like meeting people with different jobs and skills so that maybe some of that knowledge can rub off on me, I'm an information hoarder.

I can share my experiences about living in France, Turkey, Brazil, Peru, Chile and backpacking all over South America. I can talk about New York City Culture. I can teach English, help you if you want to teach/learn English or just share class room experiences.
