About Me
CURRENT MISSION
laugh until my belly hurt!!
ABOUT ME
I live in Lapa, one of the most beautiful neighborhoods of historical Lisbon, very close to the river! In a walking distance to museums and downtown.
And myself...I dedicate my time to the essential: music, films, literature, humor,painting, food, drink and walking barefoot :)
At the same time i'm doing my PhD in Science Education.
I have a stand up comedy band and projects with contemporary circus and music improvisation...and always trying new ideas!
If i could i would travel all the time, with no rush.. just living in the places and talking to the people. I see the places not as a collections of things to see but as a way to immerse in people's culture. I prefer to find little coffee shops, small venues and alternative bars instead of crowded spots. And i do enjoy walking around with no destination and get lost in the streets..
I think life is too short for doing everything i want.. to read all the books, to know deeply every subject.. but i try my best.
PHILOSOPHY
Most of your problems resolves without doing nothing... so dont worry to much..
