Ariana from Brazil : Connecting through coffee culture
from 177 Nations of Tasmania · host Mark Thomson
So what associations come to mind when you think about Brazil ? Sun, samba and soccer, perhaps ? But as well as that it's a big country geographically and one of the most diverse racially and culturally on earth. Ariana is a rare example from the people I've talked to, in that she both aimed to come to Tasmania and was able to secure a job here before moving, which took many attempts over 9 months. As someone who worked in the airline industry for many years, it's perhaps not surprising that Ariana has moved around a lot, both throughout Brazil and the world. Like many Brazilians started work at an early age, helping her mother with her house-cleaning business. But it was her dream to become an airline pilot, a dream that seemed impossible, but Ariana started to go in that direction step by step, and eventually worked as a flight attendant for a Brazilian airline...and from here a new world of possibility opened up. But it was only after working in New Zealand that she decided that she didn't want to return to Brazil but instead make a new life abroad.
