ABOUT ME

I'm back to Portugal, working as guide in Free Walking Tours in Porto. I love what I do, meeting people from whole over the world everyday and show them my city.

But I'm always looking for some projects and inspiration to go abroad again.
I was a portuguese volunteer in Rubik's land, Hungary, more precisely in Debrecen, and I lived the time of my life there. I had the great oportunity to see something new everytime that I went out in the streets and I've been luck to meet great people and make good friends.I consider myself friendly, talkative and with a peculiar sense of humor. I can say that I am an ambassador of Portuguese culture in the world (although they don't pay me for that) 'cause i love to give to know my country, portuguese music, cinema, art, traditions, customs and gastronomy, also clarify that Portugal is not a german or spanish colony.

PHILOSOPHY

I belive in the power of people, and the values of solidarity, equality and democracy. And as a good friend I don't let my friends do stupid things... alone.

I'm a kind of moviesolic Some of my favorite movies: Dogtooth (2009); José and Pilar (2010); The Skin I live in (2011); One flew over Cuckoo's Nest (1975); Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (2001); Edward Scissorhands (1990); I love you Philip Morris (2009); Amores Perros (2001); Blame it on Fidel (2006)Music: I just like one kind of music: the good one! And this could mean every type of music...I love traditional music, I like ska, reggae, punk-rock and of course Fado (the portuguese traditional music). And I really love live concerts ( it is not that hard to make me happy).At the moment i've been listening: Diabo na Cruz, You can't win Charlie Brown, Noiserv, Cansei de ser sexy, Sérgio Godinho, Dead Combo, Alt-J, Bastille, Me and my drummer, Kings of Convenience. Books: my favorite writer is José Samarago, Portuguese writer, Nobel Prize in literature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in 3 diferent countries and I can say that I made the right decision to live abroad.I am lucky to be surrounded by people who make amazing things happen often.
