Bio
Mother, Wife, Friend, Daughter, Sister, Lover – not necessarily in this order. Reader, Cook, Gardener, Traveler – also not necessarily in this order. Brazilian by birth, Canadian by choice.

Still searching though! As the Brazilian singer Raul Seixas said: “I rather be this walking metamorphosis than to have that old established opinion about everything!” And here I am!
