CURRENT MISSION

Mission: be happy! Worrying is as efective as chewing bubble gum, one said!

ABOUT ME

I´m a citizen of the world! Altough I truly feel portuguese, first of all I´m human. I enjoy very very much to know other people, specially foreign. I feel there´s more to discover, more to discuss, and more to find out. About people, about us or about the world! I dislike stereotypes, as I know most of the times they´re a bunch of useless cr*p! I can say I´m not fond of superficialitys and I believe almost nothing beats a great conversation trough the night, together with a nice bottle of red wine. If you were searching for a more specific description, I can´t give you! Since I won´t be here spelling out my nasty bits, you can be sure i´m a nice guy, defender of the little pleasures of life and keen on knowing, welcoming and showing portugal to whoever comes to have a great time! ;)

PHILOSOPHY

This is a tuff one. Well, I´ll try to be brief and still communicate something. First, and obviously, happiness. Since i´m not a religious person, and believe only in this life, there´s nothing more I can aspire to. Hapiness for me and the ones around me. I feel there´s no need to worry about what you can´t control. Do this and you´ll be smiling a lot more.(seems simple uh?) I feel i´m writing to much already, so I´ll try to translate this simple phrase the most genius portuguese poet wrote: "sit down at the sun, abdicate, and be king of yourself".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been so so lucky for the places i´ve been that is very hard to chose one to be better than the others... All amazing, for very different reasons. (but the baloon flight at sunrise in egypt was something beyond amazing...)
