CURRENT MISSION

Getting to know as many people, things and places as possible

ABOUT ME

I'm currently an exchange student in the University of Sofia, in Bulgaria. I intend to travel to close-by countries and work from there as freelance correspondent to Portuguese newspapers.

I'm very interested in unique, appealing and out-of-your-mind stories. This goes along with my will to know as many cultures & countries as possible.

I was born in Évora, where I lived for 18 years. Following that, I lived one year in the US, in the state of Maine, as a high school exchange student. Later I went to study Journalism in Lisbon, and eventually I got to my current location: Sofia, where I'm studying for my final semester.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to list: let's share them over drinks

Teach, Learn, Share

Do you want to have a fun and simple yet multicultural conversation? It's easy. Gather up a few people from different countries and sit them all down around a table.
Tell them to tell you how they do animal sounds in their languages. Example:

Dog:
Portuguese - ão ão
English - woof woof
etc etc

You'd be impressed by how much fun this can be!
