O Lucas é extremamente ocupado, igualmente acessível e direto. Nos demos bem de primeira e, para intensificar a primeira impressão positiva, ele recebeu de braços abertos um grupo de voluntárias que tiveram problemas com assédio em outro lugar. Tipo, ele só falou "traga elas pra cá e tá tudo bem". A consideração e hospitalidade dele em um momento tão delicado foi sensacional! Ele é bem sério, mas não se engane, pois ele pode te fazer rolar de tanto rir. O trabalho é leve e flexível. Está sob direção do Lucas e d. Helena desde 2020, então vários pontos de admin ainda estão sendo ajustados.

Laryssa é ótima e tem renovado o voluntariado desde então. Ficamos felizes por ser seu lugar em Bh. <3

O anfitrião sabe muuuito de cultura mineira e dá dicas ótimas de rolê pelo centro de beagá. Rólider é bem ocupado e ainda assim se esforçou para ter um vínculo com a equipe de voluntários. O gerente o hostel estava de licença, então basicamente a dinâmica o hostel ficava por conta dos voluntários e da camareira, que é uma querida! (bjo Leonice) O hostel é bem localizado, numa região com tudo perto e seguro. Enquanto estiver por BH quero passar lá para tomar um cafézim com essa turma =)

About me as an author

Ex-jornalista com um mega bloqueio criativo. Se eu conseguir escrever mil palavras sobre um assunto que me anima, volto a considerar escrever um romance. Afinal, 80% da energia necessária sai da inércia né?

Social media

Background

Education

I am graduated in Social Communication/ Journalism at UFMS.

Work experience

I work since my 18s, but during College I just worked in temporary Jobs due to all the classes. I delivered daily journals, I was secretary, I was tv producer, press assistant and I also sold make up products during school. I also worked as baby sitter after school, then I worked most of the time with digital media, innovation consultant, press assessory, Translator and, recently as a travel blogger.

Travel experience

My first remarcable trip was to Chapada dos Guimarães (MT) because I was very young and I got overwelmed about that great environment. My dad and daughter fishing trip was also something that, I guess, pressed the wunderlust bottom in my soul. I love travelling - Paraguai, Bolívia, Argentina, Uruguai and Germany.
In 2019 I took a gap year, visiting 8 countries and 2 different continents.
