ABOUT ME

Airport queues
Favela views
Foreign words and conjugating verbs
Beach! Beach! Beach!
Worldly beats are my aural treat
Autumn bushwalks
An empty washing basket
Mozart in the rain
Old stuff
Foooooooood!
These are a few of my favourite things ♪♫♪

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

Interests

I am curious about almost everything - expect lots of questions.

• dining
• cooking
• teaching
• beaches

Music, Movies, and Books

In my ears it should be anything but "normal" - from fado, to funaná, to funk carioca.
The book is usually better than the film.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I avoided getting robbed by some Brazilian thugs by startling them with my perfect gangsta Portuguese - Tira a mão do bagulho rapá, qual foi tá maluco!?!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an English teacher and will happily dissect any grammar rule or quirk till you're sure you've understood and if I don't know the answer, I won't rest until I've found it.
I want to learn how to cook your food and speak your words.
