  • Description

    I was born and lived all my life in Lisbon, Portugal, but somehow always feel more happy when I am in the countryside at my grandmother's village, where I can move freely and get my hands dirty, so I try to make a balance between city and countryside.

    I've always had great interest in travel, different cultures and new perspectives. I like to learn new skills, share experiences and I like to meet new people from around the world. That's what motivated me to join this platform.

    I consider myself a good handyman. I'm used to fix things at home, painting, renovations, wood work, basic plumbing, etc. I'm used to clean gardens and terrains and would like do learn about permaculture and organic farming if there's a chance. I usually do the maintenance of my motorcycle, too. I'm not a master chef but I like to cook. I love my 7 and 10 years old nephews and usually play football with them. I love cats and dogs, too. I try to keep a routine of some meditation and yoga/pilates, so I'm always forward to improve in that area.

    Currently I took a break from my office work in Marketing and communication and I'm finally visiting Japan for 3 months, an old dream of mine. I would love to get deep in the daily japanese way of life and its various habits, and learn from locals.

    I am happy to answer any questions, and arrange video calls if you're interested in hosting me.
