CURRENT MISSION

Take full advantage, of the beauty of life.

ABOUT ME

I´m an outgoing person, sometimes lazy, but always ready to be with others and having fun.I consider myself a very happy person, despite the disappointments of life...

I come from a large family, I am the seventh of eight sons, I have 3 brothers and 4 sisters.And to further improve the "Andrade´s Clan", I have 14 nephews.
You can imagine how Christmas is at my parents' house, we have a turkey farm just for us, a wine cellar for the adults,a Christmas trees farm, and we usually run out the shelves at Toys'R'Us!!! (I´m kidding)

Ah, when I was a child we used to spent our summer holidays in the South of Spain, most of the times we were up to 10 or 14 people in a small flat.That made me an expert in sleeping on the floor;sharing a bed;sleeping on the sofa;in a bunk bed;in an air mattress. In retrospect, I think my parents were the pioneers of couchsurfing....

PHILOSOPHY

Always smiling, and trying to remember only the joyful moments of life.

Interests

I´m interested in different cultures, and I would love to live at least 3 months in each country in the world. I love: to dance; to eat my mum´s food; to laugh...

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a couple of movies, except those where they all live happily ever after and the bad guys are the ones who die. I never saw the "Titanic", and I don´t want to see it. My favourite movie it´s "Le Grand Bleu" by Luc Besson 1988.

I read a lot, I love all the book´s from "Mia Couto" e Paulo Coelho.The poetry of "Pablo Neruda"; "Florbela Espanca"; "António Nobre"; "Manuel Alegre".....

I'm not very demanding or a specialist, so I hear almost every kind of music, I just don´t hear much Celtic music, the bag pipes leave me desperate!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the summer of 2003, in Playa de Isla Canela (south of Spain), I helped to save a dolphin that washed up on the shore and couldn´t return to the open sea. He was very scared and scratched due to the shells, but with the help of a few friends, we placed him back into the sea!!!
In September 2010 I did a part of the St.James Way, and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had, despite desperate moments and some blisters,I loved the experience of making the pilgrimage in the Holy Year.(my sins were all forgiven!)
