Hi! I’m Eva, a portuguese girl with a big desire to meet new people and places.
I'm someone who always understood the value of traveling and meeting people and believes different than mine. And I'm sure part of that was due to the lack of opportunities I had to do so until now. So I decided it was time to create those opportunities myself. Next year I'm going to college, not sure what am I going to study, maybe jewel's design, maybe architecture maybe something else. But this year is for travelling!

The first step was to finance the trip, I worked has a barmaid in Algarve, Portugal serving the sunburned tourists on their breaks from the beach. Afterwards I bit of volunteering in the South of France, restoring a wall that 300 years from now people will still be able to see. Next I was part of a project to renovate this french neighbourhood, Claveau, occupied mostly by lonely elders, we still found a big desire to participate and help. It was a month, I liked it so much I returned in the begining of January, six months to go. Afterwards, who knows?

Interests

I would say that one of the things that interests me the most is people.Their believes, ambitions, circunstances, decisions. What drives them? What scares them? What stands in their way or moves them forward? People are only as different as they are similar.
And that is present in my other interests, like books or movies, that give you the possibility to meet the thousand other stories that could have painted your life.

• books that absorv you from the first moment
• movies that make you feel part of the story

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would say the things I'm most proud about is having always stayed true to my principles and being able to make the things I envision happen (sooner or later :)
