ABOUT ME

My name is Francisco, I'm a student and I'm a native Portuguese. I love my country and the city I live (Lisbon), but I love the world even more. Traveling is my passion, and the more I travel the more interesting my life becomes.
I love to hang out with friends, to meet new people, new cultures, to experience new things, to relax, to lie on the beach, to swim, to read, to play violin, etc.
More things you can know about me... well I'm a bit shy, and despite loving my homeland, I'm the only Portuguese who doesn't like beer. Maybe one day I'll start to appreciate it. But I can be funny :D

PHILOSOPHY

The best feeling in the world is to see the people around you happy.

Goals are checkpoints, not finished lines.

As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.
Socrates
