I was born in Brazil and started traveling at a very young age. It wasn’t until I was much older that I lived a semi-nomadic life, living in 5 different countries over 20 years. I lived in England, the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Brazil, and the United States, where I currently reside. This life choice and opportunity provided me with the perfect backdrop to experience the world from different perspectives. And so I did. I am married and a mother to two beautiful teenagers. I have a degree in Production Engineering from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and a MBA from Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. As an entrepreneur, I started an experiential business in Hong Kong, where I partnered with many masters (experts in classic Eastern traditions) to share their knowledge and life experiences with locals and international travelers.
