About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a portuguese girl who would like to live in many different cities around the world and I am always curious and hungry for new adventures.

Based in Lisbon, I have been working in the field of marketing and advertising as a creative. In 2013, I was selected to do an internship in a swedish company so I moved for six months to Stockholm, Sweden.
I've loved the experience of living abroad so much, that I've decided to go further and try to work in something different of my academic background, so I am currently living and working as a community developer in Bogotá, Colombia.

My desire is to travel minimum 2 times in a year. I enjoy meeting new people, knowing different perspectives, cultures, having good conversations as well as partying! Going out and discover good places are things that I try to do all the time. I love living in a city, but I also love to escape and drive to the beach or to the countryside where is my hometown in Portugal.

My dream travels: Latin America and India. I'm about to start my biggest adventure so far, a trip through Andes, South America.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meet and host great people in my beautiful city, Lisbon.
Theatre.
Music Concerts and Festivals are always my favourite option and memories.
Work with children and teenagers on the biggest educational project in Colombia.

From seeing NY from the top of Empire State Building; roadtrips in Portugal and some european countries; my dream travel through South America: from Bogotá- Colombia to Buenos Aires- Argentina, always on the road, discovering the magic and beauty of Andes culture; to my fist experience traveling alone in Brazil for 3 months... I may say I am blessed for already have a collection of wanderlust adventures and ticks on my bucket list!

To live in Scandinavia and Latin America, two totally opposite perspectives, have definitly taught me new values and concepts of living.Two amazing realities that are part of me now.
