A young Brazilian, 26 is still young right? I’m trying to reborn to life ! The life of love and nature!
I grow up hearing that i should follow the “rules” of society; study, work, get married and have kids. And stay in home because “ I’m a woman.” That happiness comes with money.
I graduated in fashion design, i worked in the area for a few time but i got very sad with the way of society is running the fashion industry.
Building disturbe values in the society, that comes since the cover of magazines that says that you are not “beautiful” enough for random reason, comparing people, shapes, bodys, hair... until use slavery job for making more cheap, discardable and not sustainable clothes and accessories.
With the things i saw in this few years I realised that i was going to the wrong way and i was very disappointed with myself. I was loosing a lot of energy and my creativity trying to be someone that wasn’t me, wasn’t the things that I believe. I was following just the expectations of the others. And i was loosing my shine.
So i just give up of this that wasn’t my life. Wasn’t me!
I sold the things i had and started a travel without thinking too much about what could be the future.
So I’m here, now !
I’m in the present!
I’m in the moment!
And I’m open !
open for opportunities that i can learn anything!
Open for hear histories,
Open for exchange histories,
Learn languages, culture and projects.
Living in the nature.
Learn how to make a fire, sleep in the forest. Build a house.
take care of animals.

If you need any kind of help, i will be here to give a hand, if you need someone to talk with. I’ll try to make all the effort to speak your language and talk to you.
If you have patience to teach what you need I’ll be with you for help. .
Dream-

Happiness it’s a spirit state that is inside us and doesn’t come with money.
