About Me

My name is Elena, and I just graduated in May (2010) from Mount Holyoke College with a degree in Psychology and Education and a Spanish minor. I love to travel, and that is how I got into this long-distance situation in the first place! If you want to learn more about that, check out the "My Long Distance Love" tab above. I also enjoy learning languages, so dating my boyfriend has been a great excuse (and motivation) to learn Portuguese. I'm now back home in New Jersey, working as a Nanny for a family with three adorable kids. It's a daily challenge and exhausting too, but so much fun! And it definitely never gets boring. Besides surfing the internet and following every possible Brazil-related blog, I like to spend time outside, and have recently taken up running, which I really enjoy. I also love animals and am a vegetarian. Yup, thats always fun in Brazil, land of the carnivores, where they even put meat in the beans! You'll just have to keep reading my entries to learn more about my life! Well, thanks for stopping by my blog, and I love to get comments, so feel free to leave them. Also, if you have a blog that is somehow related to mine please feel free to share it and I may even link to you :)
