About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Enjoy my life, meet new people, try new and different way to travel and collect beautiful experience.
ABOUT ME
I deeply love to travel and I prefer backpacking trips and to be far away from mass tourism.
I like planning my journey from home and I'm really sad when the adventure is over, when I have to return.
When I come back home I start again choosing and planning my new trip.
My first aim is to travel and never stop ... a journey after another, like the pages of a book.
To me meet new people and know something new is the most important part of the journey.
I started traveling when I was 20, my first trip was Zanzibar. And from that first time, travelling has become my first love, followed by photography, reading and trying ethnic cuisine.
After Zanzibar I went to Egypt, where I pushed myself beyond the usual resorts and organized excursions for the first time. I climbed Mount Sinai at night and wait for a new dawn on the summit, I did snorkeling in the blue hole of Dahab and wandered around the souk in Sharm el Sheik.
I met Paris and ate a real French baguette. I walked through Montmartre and the Champs Elysee and I reached the top of the Eiffel Tower.
And then I went in Thailand where a public demonstration held me a week longer than expected. In a month's journey I flew from Bangkok to Chiang Mai to Phuket. I visited Chiang Rai and its beautiful white temple (still under construction), Ko Phi Phi, Krabi and Ayutthaya.
After that, Boa Vista, I have traveled far and wide on the edge of a quad. From the beautiful beaches like Santa Monica, to the desert of Viana, to small and remote towns such as Joao Galego and Fundo das Figueiras.
I had a great experience in Australia, where I lived and worked for four months as WWOOFer at several houses scattered between New South Wales and Queensland. I ate the best nooodles in Sydney and walked the Manly Scenic Walk 10 km route. I have visited several times Brisbane and I immersed myself in its markets.
And then Morocco, Budapest, London and Barcelona.
Fortunately I still feel like travel a lot... Cant wait to read another page of this stunning book: the World.
PHILOSOPHY
I do believe that travelling is the only way to know people and yourself.
