CURRENT MISSION
Starting in the 12th of August, and for 23 days, I'll be doing 12 countries and 7500 km on board the latest Lexus Electric Car (RZ 450e) along with my wife. The mission is to debunk myths related to the use of electric cars in big journeys and to promote a new way of travelling based on living the journey to the fullest. No highways, stop and relax in beautiful places, live the culture, the food, meet the people and forget the destination.

ABOUT ME
What you see is what you get. An easy going guy, with a limitless drive for challenge, adventure and discovery. I'm married with a beautiful girl, Gisela. She is a doctor at Aveiro Hospital. I also have the privilege of having the most beautiful dog on earth :D - Alaska (Alaskan Malamute). He is not coming with us on this trip ;).

I have a project called Wild With Purpose where I promote sustainability. This will be my 4th expedition on the theme. You can see more on www.wildwithpurpose.com or on my instagram page: @wildwithpurpose
