About Me

I'm a Capeverdian, check out this vid for more info https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q99tzGgkd4k , living in Portugal since 2003 (when i was 17 and started college), work with computers, and love to cook and dance (Kizomba mostly and learning salsa). I love travelling and meeting new people and sharing experiences and differences in culture.

I'm super motivated, balance my life around trying to be the best at what i do, the gym, and having fun with friends. I'm the kind of guy you want have close by when you're sad ;)
