Passions
I have always been a creative person and I like to experiment with new artistic mediums. I am passionate about dancing (especially salsa and forró), poetry, mosaics, and painting, and my ideal day involves visiting an art gallery or museum. I love to travel to unusual places and I am an avid hiker – I love hiking along the coast!
