  • Description

    I'm a half Portuguese half Swedish photographer, language teacher and special needs tutor who loves philosophy, children, teaching, writing, nature, freediving, gardening and animals. I also love helping people organise, declutter and remodel their spaces. I have an artistic eye and a soul that loves every animal I find!
    I'm currently finishing my university studies online and want to learn more languages, meet new people and explore different mindsets and ways of living!
    My hobbies include reading, writing, singing, playing the guitar, freediving, swimming (even in cold water!) and going on walks exploring and foraging medicinal herbs. I enjoy making teas, learning about healing methods and most things related to wellness.
    I love discussing ideas, learning new things and understanding what makes people smile.
