About Me

I am an adventurous girl always looking for challenges and new experiences. I love to travel, to do sports, to meet people and to have a nice talk. The beach and the nature are my comfort zone. My hometown is in the countryside, a really chill village called Azeitão, 30min from Lisbon, just google "Serra da Arrábida" and you will love it - I can take you there when I am back to my country.

I did my Bachelor in Lisbon, and did Erasmus in Amsterdam, where I really loved to live.

After some years of working in a common office job, I've decided to travel and volunteer around Asia because I wanted to explore new cultures and ways of living, as have different kind of occupation then the office job I was working in. Also, as a photographer I wanted to see different things and shoot the beauty around the world.

This recent journey started with 3 months in Nepal (where I volunteer one month teaching kids in a rural area, did some eco farming volunteering and of course did some trekkings through Himalayas mountains. Then I went 2 weeks to Bangladesh where I had an amazing experience exploring the country and right now I am in Myanmar where I will spend one month volunteering and travelling. Thailand is the next destination.
