ABOUT ME

I am an eternal children.
Born in Portugal, but iam a world person.
I'm a pirate.
I'm squatter, activist, ecologist, feminist, anarchist and freedom lover.
I work with Chinese medicine and my biggest passion is travelling.
Work half year and half year travel, sometimes with my van, sometimes hitchhiking.
I like to talk about politics, psychology, environmental issues, revolutions and social problems in the world.

Now I'am in Portugal :)
I'am living um countryside with my girlfriend and a lot of goats, sheeps, 2 cats and 1 dog.
We have as basis principles self-management, self-sufficiency, do-it-yourself, consensus and cooperation.

PHILOSOPHY

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”
Alexander Supertramp
