About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I´d like to know a lot of people from different countries and cultures.

ABOUT ME

I am a professional translator and a poet. I've written a book with some of my poems. It is called Pseudopoesia and it can be found in my country and Portugal. At this moment, I'm writting a novel and I hope it will be released next year.

I love photography, although I am not good enough to be called a photographer, to travel, videogames (Mainly Call Of duty: Modern Warfare), to ride my motorcycle, read good books, know new places and meet different people.
I love to cook and I'm always learning new recipes.
I have some tattoos, all of them have a strong connection with my life and my experiences.
One of them is Eric Draven from the movie The Crow. Also, I have the sentence "would you erase me?" from Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
Besides it, I've tattoed the beast from Beauty and the beast and Dom Quixote from the book Don Quijote of Miguel de Cervantes
I love Portugal, mainly Lisbon, but, at the moment, I´m living in Santa Comba Dão, in the North of Portugal.

PHILOSOPHY

Por amor às causas perdidas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a lot of things like the great Tejo river in Lisbon, the Fjords in Norway. I've been in Dubrovnik, Croatia, which, for me, is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.
I've been in Auschwitz too, where I had a very sad experience.
I could see awesome concerts with a lot of great friends at the Wacken Festival in 2012
