Gostaria de começar um novo tópico no blog, para aqueles que desejam iniciar e/ou continuar a jornada como aprendiz em Língua Inglesa. Digo que isto serviria não para aqueles começam, pois a maioria dessas dicas são voltadas para a mudança de pensamento (mindset).  MINDSET Se livre de crenças limitantes do tipo "não consigo aprender", "inglês é muito difícil" e vários outros NÃOS! Reflita sobre seus objetivos para aprender inglês, quanto mais forte e claro o objetivo mais fácil será construir um plano e segui-lo.  Não se compare com os outros,cada pessoa está seguindo sua própria jornada. Alguns puderam estudar em escola particular ou foram para a Disney quando crianças, outros aprenderam com músicas, seriados ou videogame.  Não faça julgamento de valor quanto a pronúncia, escrita, ou outras habilidades de outra pessoa. Se você sabe, e se houver abertura se ofereça para ajudar a pessoa e reforçar seu aprendizado ativamente.  xoxo Wanderlust so...

2019 Resolutions

Could you think about something you really want, what would it be? I'd definitely choose to travel as much as I can, to as many places as I can and soak myself into different cultures. I must be real and maybe rough on you guys. If you don't have a goal a dream is just a dream. That's why I believe goals are important. 2019 just started so it's the chance you've been waiting for to plan your dream trip! Where would you go?! Of course your dream doesn't have to be about traveling and even if it's not, you still need a plan! Why is important to have goals? ▲ You can divide your 'big dream' into small achievable steps. ▲ You can check your progress towards your goals. ▲ If you're the kind of person who need motivation you can share your plan with a friend or partner in order to motivate each other. If your dream is to go somewhere... As I mentioned before you need to take the steps to make your dream come true! That means you ne...

It's important to remind you we can travel inside Mercosul just with our Brazilian ID (RG). I'm going to get my second passport after 4 stamps and 6 countries!

Hostel Life

As a teacher of English I've been passionate about other cultures, languages, countries. On the top of that, I also knew that as an English teacher in Brazil it'd take a while in order to save money enough to travel. However I strongly encourage everyone who has a wanderlust soul to a research and find different ways to reach your goal to visit every country! And that's why I think hostels are such a good deal. Not only you can have a taste of a multicultural community but you can also practice the languages you are learning, make friends and have the time of your life. I worked as a volunteer in the ITH (International Travelers House) hostel in San Diego in 2017 and it was one of the most incredible experiences in my life. I know many of you really want to travel however we can't afford it. For this reason I'd like to talk about 2 platforms I used back in 2017 in my #90daysofwander:     ITH Hostel, Ocean Beach, San Diego, 2017. ◈ You don't need to...
