ABOUT ME

Hi!
I'm Renata, I'm 29 and I'm portuguese. I live with my husband, Jorge (from Mexico), 12km away from Lisbon near the beach (Caxias).
I studied architecture and work as an architectural photographer!
During high school, I was in exchange for one year in Germany, near the beautiful Black Forest, with AFS, an intercultural organization to whom I volunteer since 2010. With this experience, I started getting to know a lot of people all around the world and travel by myself. I'm proud to say that I was already in more than 45 countries.
In 2013-2014 I went in ERASMUS, this time to Florence, Italy, for the third year of architecture :)
In 2015 I was in Merida, Mexico for one semester, an amazing experience. There I met my husband.
I'm funny, intelligent, a good company, I can talk a lot (but I also know when to be quiet :P) and I love to travel, to know other people and cultures :) I also worked for two years as a flight attendant for TAP Air Portugal until Covid hit.
My passion is photography, you can see my travel photography blog here:
