People usually say I am very brave for doing what I do. The truth is I am just passionate about life and everything it has to offer.I was born and raised in the south of Brazil, my whole family is very rooted and somehow I was the only one who chose a different path.I started college with 17 years old and graduated as an Architect and Urban Planner in 2019. While studying, I also worked as an intern in 3 different public places and I am so grateful for that, it was one of my best schools and where I fell in love with changing peoples lives.Also, since I was a kid it has been my dream to live abroad and travel, so I jumped at the opportunity to do the Au Pair exchange program in the United States right after my college graduation in 2019. Another great school to develop flexibility, adaptability and leadership! Living with an American host family and taking care of their kids has taught me so much and it was a big challenge. Living in another country for a few years was the best experience I could have. It also made me realize that traveling on my own, exploring the world, getting to know new people, a new culture, new food and new experiences is what makes me feel truly connected and happy.So even though those are completely different experiences, being an Architect and Urban Planner does change peoples lives and has a great impact on a home, a city, or even in a country. Being an Au Pair and helping kids turning into great human beings also changes peoples lives and the way we are building a better future. And about traveling... what can be more life changing than discover the unknown?
