About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be happy with me, with my life

ABOUT ME

It's always hard to talk about oneself...
I see myself as a very open person: open to new opportunities, to challenges, to change. I prefer regretting what I have done than to regret not to have done it because of fear of failing...
I like to be busy, all the time! Work, hanging out with friends, studying different things (I learned Portuguese Sign Language, for example), learning with what life throws my way :)
Ah! And I LOVE to talk and practice my languages!!!

PHILOSOPHY

To be true to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Cinema... I wish I had time to go to the movies everyday! Ok ok, every week...
I love the feeling of being in the dark, completely absorbed (when it is a good movie) by the story playing in front of my eyes...

"The Little Prince", by Saint-Exupéry is my favourite book. But I read a lot, I love reading. So I'm just naming this, it's easier.

When it comes to music, I mainly listen to what's on the radio. But I really like Sarah Mclachlan, Dido, Zero 7, Sérgio Godinho, Nelly Furtado, OqueStrada, Loto...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I went to East Timor... the people, the land, the opportunities!
