One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We are 2 fresh geography teachers that share the ambition of making a difference in our students trough education.
We met each other in university and realised that we share a lot of common prespectives about life...got together since than... that´s one of the amazing things We´ve done :)
Beside that, Afonso went to the Olympic Games in Tokyo and Helena is trying to learn as much as she can about horses and equestrian.

Teach, Learn, Share

-The main deal is no more no less than our will to know diferent people and share with them a piece of our beautiful country.
-Beside that and our couch, we also can share with you a good chat and a good portuguese meal :) Ohhh, almost forgot, and a delicious portuguese wine if you're on to it. (We love to try diferent kinds).
We are 2 fresh Geography teachers and love it!
Right now just Helena is teaching and Afonso is a professional rower of the portuguese federation. He´s also a bit nerd in geography and usted to know all the capital citys of the world (not anymore... but he still knows some of them)!
