One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That is difficult, but I will tell about a trip to Brazil, where I spent 2 months in Rio. I worked in a community as an English Teacher for adults and children while I was practicing my Portuguese. I trained Capoeira, Parkour and samba. I did some running, biking, hiking, went to the beach and just enjoy being. That was my way of learning the culture, the language and getting involve with the local people. I have now very good friends in Rio, waiting for me to come back.
