Overview
About Me
I´m always willing to learn, to know new cultures, to think and act in order to make the world a better place. I´m a public agent, a Portuguese teacher and a Reiki practitioner.
I had a trajectory full of experiences to get where I am. I´ve been a flyer distributor, worked at party bars, at an ice cream factory, was a office boy, was responsable for the financial and administrative departments of a travel agency. Worked in a NGO towards environment and Family agriculture, gave Portuguese classes, was a Scout Leader. Nowadays I work at a Town Hall doing the journalistic and photographic covering.
I love to photograph, to cook, to travel, to talk to people and children. And I always have the desire to learn and to help others, I trully do.
