One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i remember 3:

1- i've traveled all Portugal, North to South, alone, by bicycle, through the biggest national road, the EN2. I made 900km in 14 days, met some couchsurfers and learned a lot about my own country. I started in Chaves, in the North and I ended in Faro, Algarve.
Here is a video I made about this bicycle adventure:

2- i've crossed the biggest mountain in portugal (serra da estrela) by foot with a friend. we made it from the west side (gouveia) to the east side (covilhã) and it took 3 days. we tried to camp in the top (torre, 2000m) but it was really cold and we decided to put on our backpacks again and walk (in the night) to a shelter in penhas da saúde. we reached it at 00h in closing time but made it and had a hot shower and warm sleep!

3- i made "camino de santiago" by foot from "lourenzá" (180km). after santiago de compostela i went to "cabo finisterra" and slept in "mar de fuera" beach.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an amateur-clumsy-cook but i love to cook for others!
i like to sketch with black thin pen and a travel-watercolour-set. I'm not brilliant, I do it for fun and I like to do observation-sketch (architecture, streets, nature, people, etc) with other people with no worries about perfect draws!
i often do my own journals, so i can teach you some stitch techniques.
and i can also teach some basic guitar and some "bossa-nova" chords.
