Work

I had a project and worked for a Professor at the university. My project was about the examination of the relationship between the fires in the amazon and the amount of rain in the state of São Paulo at the 19/08/2019. It was a really interesting project because the topic was really current. For this, I worked with excel tables and created some maps with the data.

Experience

I lived in a republica, a student house, 30 minutes walking to my working place. I shared my room with 5 more people from IAESTE (two from Serbia, one from Germany, one from Spain and one from Peru). It was really nice because we all got good friends and we went every weekend for another trip. Also, we walked nearly every morning together to the university or shared an Uber. At the university breakfast, lunch and dinner were for free as an employee. Most of the time we met again to have lunch or dinner together. The food was one-sided (always beans and rice) but tasted really good.

Discover

I learned a lot about the culture from other countries. About Brazil, but also about the countries from my roommates. It showed me how similar we all were regardless of where we grew up. I think it changed my way of thinking about the people of other countries. Also, I became more self-confident and improved my language skills.
