About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Improve the world inside myself.

ABOUT ME

People are complex. (But I love that complexity!) So how to describe myself?... peaceful, communicative, openminded, and most of all I love people!

PHILOSOPHY

I want to change the world and make it a better place. At the current moment I'm trying to do it inside myself: it may be a great place to start.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to talk about the Azores and about Portuguese culture and cuisine.
Usually I share food.

Sometimes I share some homemade soap or honey from my bees.
