About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn something new everyday

ABOUT ME

I'm a Brazilian girl who has just graduated in med school, and that is serving in the Brazilian army as a doctor for one year.
I love keeping moving, and doing different stuffs. Life is so full of possibilities.
I consider myself a shy person, when I first meet someone. But, I'm in that point in my life in which I do want to change a lot of things... Sometimes we need to step out of our confort zones, in order to do the most amazing things, in our lifes.
I could say that I'm a dreamer too. And I love meeting new people, and getting to know their stories.

I've always loved traveling, but I think that my passion has grown in the past years, when I got to learn the travelling way of discovering the cities and the people, and not only jumping in a bus, and getting down only to take photos of monuments. I love going to new places and getting to know how people live, what are their ways, and I love to realize how some things can be so different, and so similar to the way I live here in Brazil... My dream is to one day take a gap year, and make a round world trip.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that we should live trying to do our best, changing the things that we can, being creative. It is hard to chalenge ourselves, but this is something that we should try. Otherwise, we are risking to live a life without meaning.

Interests

I like getting new experiences, litening to music, getting my mind blown by amazing things... I also enjoy medicine, science, coffee, creativity, running, watching TV series(HIMYM, The big bang theory, The walking dead, Game of thrones)...

Right now, I am really interested in learning French. I think it is very interesting to understand a new language, and getting to know some aspects of mine as well, as they have the same origin.
