PERSONAL DETAILS / HOBBIES An always active, very social and communicative person who gets enchanted by everything new and as a goal has to transform the gained experience into creativity. Capable to work in various positions, as a member of a team, due to the familiarity with team work during the 5years of university, as a team leader, as people trust me easily, or individually, due to my independent character, and able to adapt in every environment. My life is about travelling, exploring new places, meet new people and transform my experience into whatever serves humanity- from clothes and jewellery to living spaces and networking events. My latest passion is to help worldwide expatriates coming to Rio de Janeiro to readjust into the new reality, as I have passed through this process in all the 5 different countries where I have lived until now, Greece, Spain, Germany, Costa Rica and Brazil.
