Description

Hello there :)
Iam open minded, easy going, always ready for a good laugh, adventurous, social, happy. Passionate about simple things in life, nature, arts. I love to connect with people and to know about their life story. It makes me see the World in a different perspective and feeling even mopre grateful for what I have/do.

I consider myself as a World Citizen. For about 5 years I traveled full time, spending Summer in Portugal to work more, save more and continue with my trips. I backpacked Central America (from Mexico to Panama) during 4 months, South America by land for 5 months, hitch hiked Europe (from Portugal to Istanbul and back) for 3 months, traveled and worked in California 3 months. I also traveled solo Asia and Australia during 7 months and lived in Maine (USA) for one year. After all this traveling me and my boyfriend of that time decided to live in Lisbon, I was there for 3 years until I came back to my roots: Algarve. Right now I'm living in rural Algarve and I finally feel I found the right place to buy land and live "forever".
