About Me

I'm a filmmaker/videomaker, I work filming and editing videos for a cultural center here in Lisbon. I did lots of different things, I think it all adds up. Working at a coffe shop, being in a play, living in a tent in the Californian mountains for a month, diving in the ocean, all the people Ive met and the first encounters. Its been good!

I travelled a lot in my childhood to places like Brazil, Sri Lanka, São Tomé, Jamaica... and those experiences helped me shape a more diverse understanding of life. Seeing other ways of communicating with the world helped me a lot in the process of developing an idea of what life is, and I would look around, and observe my environment and realize that this is just one of the ways of living, there is no right one. You just go along searching and discovering your own way. That's why I love travelling so much.

I'm here for learning, about people and their inner worlds. Because one way to discover ourselves is through other people and through their own unique perceptions. And when we meet someone new, we expand our knowledge and our way of think and to perceive the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Being in the Amazon Forest;
- Volunteering in Greece;
- Filming a small documentary in Armenia;
- Being in the beach at night in Caparica and seeing the moon and the stars;

- Meeting all the people I met, so many different perspectives and universes, I always cherish the moments where my universe crossed with theirs;
