CURRENT MISSION

Discovering the wonders of sunny Aquitaine

ABOUT ME

Difficult... but a good exercise. :)

I have just moved fron cold Liverpool to sunny Dax.

So.. I am an open-minded, cheerful, serious, friendly, well-with-life Portuguese who always wants to know more and better about others, different cultures and places and... the world in general.
Always try to help friends or strangers... If I can, I will.

And for now that's it...
