About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Now and always: Be Happy!!

ABOUT ME

About me??? I am nice, simple, friendly, creative and easygoing.

I studied environmental engineer in Almada, near Lisbon, where I have good friends. But I couldn´t resist to the beautiful and sunny Algarve, and came back.

In 2005 I did an Interrail around Europe. This travel changed my view and feeling about travelling. I really love travel with my backpack.

I Love Europe but I want to discover the world :P

I love meeting new people, hearing their life stories and learning about their cultures.
Sharing my culture and traditions I am also learning more about my country and our traditions.

PHILOSOPHY

"Tomorrow is too late.."
