CURRENT MISSION

I'm from Portugal been living in Spain for the last years.

Now travelling for some time with my bicycle, exploring natural and cultural diversity.

Would be great to meet people, exchange experiences, languages...

ABOUT ME

Cycling and hiking are some of my favorite activities.

I'm a nature and animals lover, one of my spare time activities is ti work in a animal shelter with dozens of cats and a few other animals.

Reading, practice ukulele( I play a little), and meeting other cultures is some of my favorite hobbies.

And music oh the music how could I live without it! I cannot say I'm a one music genre person, I follow international rock bands, dance salsa, african music, music of the world(arabian and balcans rythms are magical), ...

PHILOSOPHY

The most precious thing in humankind is its cultural diversity.

This one is not my quote but it's one of my favorites: To define is to limit ( we can have a conversation about it)
