About me - Isis

Visite Praia de Ponta Verde em Ponta Verde | Expedia.com.br

    Kia ora, my name is Isis (it is pronounced 'e-zies’). I’m from a touristic coastal town in the northeast of Brazil, where people usually go on vacation during summertime. It is commonplace that people go for a stroll along the waterfront of its most popular beach, full of coconut trees and ‘tapioca’ tents. I’m very lucky to live nearby in a small and cozy apartment with my parents and our five adopted cats. However, despite the inviting landscape around, I also enjoy having a ‘home time’ with my pets.

    I graduated in Psychology some years ago, but as I’m much into foreign languages, I decided to be an English teacher and translator. I'm still in the process of qualifying for it, and coming to New Zealand was one of the strategies I adopted to improve my fluency.

    Regarding my hobbies, I take pleasure from reading novels, watching TV series and films, and hanging out with my friends. So far I haven’t been a frequent cook, but learning how to prepare more sophisticated dishes is one of the personal goals I want to accomplish as soon as I return to Brazil.

    I'd like to ditto Roger's comment. Gorgeous cats indeed! Your town looks lovely, too. Have you ever been for a dip in the sea at St Clair in Dunedin? I wonder if you would be able to do so, given the difference in the temperature of the sea down here.
    David :-)

      I gave it a go trying to get into the sea in Nelson once, but my feet were freezing from the water's cold. I might give it another shot here in Dunedin, 'cause I can't go back to Brazil without a dip in the Pacific Ocean haha

      I'd also love to visit Japan someday. I imagine the landscapes and architecture are quite different from what I'm used to seeing back home :)

      I thought it'd be a good idea to share a bit about what's been happening in my city and how my father could be helpful to others.

      I'd rather the beaches didn't have strong winds though, because I get cold pretty easily. For me, the sounds of sea waves are more relaxing.
