Description
Hi, my name is Chanice, I am 26 years old, bachelor in Portuguese Literature and Master in Cinema and Television. Now I am studying for my PhD in Philosophy of Language while I work as Audiovisual Producer.
I just moved back to Brazil after completing my Masters in London and working for a bit in Abu Dhabi! I live now in a flat in the heart of São Paulo and 3 of my best friends are also my neighbors, so if you stay here you will meet a whole crowd of young artists trying to make it in the big city. I live just 7 minutes from the closest subway station and 1 minute from a main road with lots of buses' lines to chose from. In the past, I was a host in WorkAway when I was living in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, and I made lasting friendships from this experience. I would like to repeat the experience now that I live in São Paulo.Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practiceArt ProjectsTeachingCultural exchange and learning opportunities
I have hosted travelers through workaway many times in the past: i will never let you leave my place without cooking you some typical brazilian dishes first and telling you all about the greatest brazilian art there is to know. i am super patriotic, i know everything about not only brazilian, but latin american history and i like talking about our politics and our history of colonisation.
I am both an artist and an academic, so i know the political connection between our music/film/literature and our dictatorship period... Also, I can answer all your doubts about how come Bolsonaro became our president (i know you will have some questions lol)Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
I want native speakers to teach me their language! French, Italian, German, Swedish, Russian would be a priority, but any language (besides English) will do for me! Only 2 hours of teaching per day. Sometimes I have pets (dogs) around so if you happen to be here while I have them, I also would like you to take them for a walk once or twice a day. If you only speak english, but happens to be a filmmaker, you can make a project proposal: if we can make a movie together while you are here, you will also be welcomed to stay!
I am a graduated linguist so I learn languages super super super fast (really) so you actually need to have a profound knowledge of your language grammar in order to be accepted.Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Spanish: Fluent
Portuguese: Fluent
Sami: Fluent
Swedish: FluentAccommodation
I provide a sofa-bed in the living room in case you are traveling alone. If you come in a couple I can provide a double bed. It is all an one open space. I also accept pets.
What else ...
You can visit the famous street markets, cultural centers, graffiti art, parks... all from a walking distance: we are located in the best area you can be in Sao Paulo
