About Me

I currently can't host anyone.

TLDR:
I am a social software engineer that found about Erasmus+ and is trying to find his true destiny on inspiring youth.

A bit longer version:

I'm a software engineer at Porto.
Recently I have developing a passion to meet other people and cultures and spreading a smile into others.
In order to do that I participated in several Erasmus+ projects and I still do from time to time.

In my part time I do some volunteering in some associations. I'm currently one of the directors of Associação Juvenil Synergia situated in Braga, Portugal.
Other then that I practice some sport, I dance kizomba but I know some steps in salsa or bachata.

When I go abroad I take my camera to look for amazing pictures. Too scared to live abroad, probably my worse defect.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music

I listen a lot to kizomba music even though I pretty much listen to everything. I can't miss the soundtrack from Hanz Zimmer. They are the best.

Favourite music is - Panana Always

Movies

I'm a huge fan of Christoffer Nolan and one of my favourite movies is Interstellar since I always wanted to be a astronaut when I was a kid.
Moneyball is also an amazing movie that I love since it talks about superation on the worse times.

Books

Favourite book - "Ego is the enemy"
