Hello to everyone once again!

After a few weeks in Brazil traveling throughout the state of Sao Paulo I have visited my family and most of friends, people who I missed during my trajectory through nine months in the USA.

I want to specially thank some people who helped to make it happen, the part of my life story which was a U.S. exchange.

Thank you to CAEP, which is the exchange program through which I accomplished this internship with Buckingham Greenery, a special thanks to Leila, who is the U.S. coordinator of the program.

A special thanks to my aunt Fatima Caldas, my uncle Everaldo Caldas, my cousin Edwin Caldas and his wife Catharine Caldas, who devised my stay in Virginia, first introduced me to Connie Hom, and with who I stayed during this time that I was in Virginia! I love ya'll!

A special thank you to Connie Hom, who opened the doors of her company and received me with great affection. She was my mentor in this final phase of my academic training and taught me many things, not just about plants, but were numerous valuable lessons of life!


I also thank Chip Buelher who also opened the doors of his company so that I could expand my learning to the exterior landscaping.

I thank from my heart all who were by me during this overall experience and who will be forever unforgettable to me!
