My journey in life has never been the easiest, but it is far from impossible. I was born in Blumenau, a city of Santa Catarina, one of the southern states of Brazil. I met my father at 19, but I was very well-educated by my mother and grandmother. I have a sister by my mother side and a sister by my father side. I know it sounds kind of confusing (and maybe is), but what really matters is what I want here in Steemit.

Far from wanting to talk about my problems, and I think everyone has their, my idea is to encourage people who are thinking of leaving your country and going in search of a life in any country in the world that is not yours. I intend to talk about how to live in another country, how is to be a foreigner, where I got the courage to change, what prospects I have here in Portugal, difficulties, fears, anxieties among other interesting things, I sincerely believe, I can make a difference in the lives of those who have access to my texts.

Arrival in Portugal

We decided to leave Brazil in 2013, when we find that living in a country that does not allow you many perspectives for the future does not make you good. Brazil is beautiful, Brazilians are fantastic and for being a continental country, has it all. What are the politicians and so I decided to get away from them. My husband is advertising and together we had a communications company in Brazil, he was teacher at the university and had an opportunity to continue their studies here in Portugal. We arrived in September 2014 and since then pass through a lot of things, more good than a bad, but we are building a really cool life project.
