I'm a Portuguese southern-gipsy-desert-punk who likes to hear and tell stories around the bonfire. I love the Portuguese desert; so called Alentejo. I love the Sun. And I love my two black pet's: Mandela(-san), the doggy-shoes-thief. And Inca, the midget-panther-kitten.

Presently I'm living in Greece where I'm studying.
