About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet another amazing person through CS... I am very lucky!!!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Porto. I was raised there too, so I have a strong connection with this city, even though I always lived in the suburbs (but it's a small city anyway).

At school I developed a passion for foreign languages and by the time I was 15 I could communicate in French and German. At that time I was already fluent in English (I watched too much TV).

During university I had a year in Vienna under the ERASMUS program. By this time I had already done 2 Interails across Europe.

After my degree I did my Masters in Kraków - Poland. Awesome year and a half. After that I came back to Porto to work.

I can't live my life without prospect of adventure. I teach for a living and that means that I can have a week off several times a year. So I decided to make the best of my free time and do what I always loved doing: travelling.

I talk, I drink, I travel, but i'm a model guest... trust me :)

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem
Never plan too far ahead or you will find yourself missing what's around the corner...
Yesterday is history...
Tomorrow is a mystery...
Today is a gift... that's why we call it "The Present"!
'Não tenhas pressa... mas não percas tempo'
