I'm a photography enthusiast looking to explore the world. I've had my work published in travel and news publications, and a couple of books.

I've spent half of my life in Portugal and the other half in South Africa.

I have a great passion for technology, and worked on Artificial Intelligence software frameworks for self-driving cars during my first Master's.

I like trying a bit of everything: abseiling, river rafting, mountain biking, go-karting, etc.
