About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Well, my mission with this basically is to travel around the world and meet new people and cultures :) I love to travel! I am able to show my country specially the area of Cascais and Lisboa!

ABOUT ME

I acquired the love for travelling around the world since I was little. I find it a way to discover new cultures, countries and lifestyle habits. I have been in a lot of parts of the world and I am interesting in travel more and more.

I have done two voluntary workcamps. One of them was in 2013 in Didymoticho, Greece during 15 days with the SCI organization. The aim of this workcamp was the renovation of the establishments in the relaxing area of a forest called "Tsiggla". It was a really enriching experience with the locals and all the other volunteers.

The second one was in 2014 in Hualien, Taiwan during 2 weeks. The aim of the project was to provide community and social services.

I am a sports lover ever since I can remember. So every sports challenge and physical activities, I am in :)

PHILOSOPHY

I really like this quote:
“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
