Description
Hi everyone.
My name is Renato and I have 28 years old.
I'm a portuguese citizen, born and raised, and for all my life i've been living in Portugal. I'm a former software developer, i went to college to study software developing and i've worked on this field for more than 3 years. Because of my job, i'm staying at home for more than 4 days a week, and that is not making me happy, so I decided to leave this field and enjoy life as it should be.
I just quit my job and i'm looking to go abroad as a nomad, without any expectations of where to live or what to do as a job.
I am a happy person and thats the main reason i'm leaving this job, because I love to be with people, and to have to interact with people, and thats the opposite of my previous job.
I'm happy for taking this risk and to be able to enjoy life from this point on.
Earlier this year I did my first solo travel and it was really helpful for my spirit and thats what I intend to do from now on. I really enjoy helping people and to know different realities and perspectives of life, so i'm really grateful for having this opportunity to live as myself.
After this travel, I meet some friends that already have been in my house for weeks after we meet each other in different countries, people that helped me with my travel, and thats priceless.
If you are reading this I hope to meet each other some day, and hope you to have a great life,
Big hugs,
Renato Cruzinha

More details about your skills
I'm a former software developer, so I have skills on computers, building websites, webapps, and so one.
I have worked in major portuguese festivals, I had to build teams to work with me, managing them, and I had one bar at my responsibility. I also have experience working with people and managing time.
At this point, im fluent in Portuguese and English, I understand and can communicate in Spanish and I can read French, although I've some difficulties understanding it if i'm not reading it.
I have a lot of young cousins and I like kids a lot, so I'm used to be taking care of them also.
I've been living alone for some time, so I can do any home task, besides cooking (I'm terrible at cooking, looking for improving this skill :D )
I like sports, I'm good understanding tactics in football and in sports in general. I like watching all sports :D
And also, I was a scout when i was younger, so I learned a lot of camping and survival skills.
