CURRENT MISSION

just being here enjoying but aware (trying) and worry about the things that happens in the world

ABOUT ME

I work in Casa da Horta, a cultural association, that I'm one of the founders. We organize workshops, events, debates, movie projections, etc. Also we have vegetarian food and we sell ecological and homemade products.

I'm also an activist in an environmental organization call GAIA (www.gaia.org.pt), in Portugal, already from 6 years ago. What defines it better is the fact that we consider that the environmental questions shouldn't be separate of the social ones. In this way, our group is against the war, we works with the bases and always tries to achieve consensus.

I'm vegan for 7 years. I made that decision due to the animal rights and environmental questions.

Interests

good discussions, environmental and social activism and issues, handcraft, cinema, ska and folk music (among others, i´m open to other kinds), playing wiht children, games, traveling, camping, cycling, reading, second hand shops, attics, origami, ecovillages and permaculture, good concerts and of course being with my beautiful friends and family!
