I'm Luis, I'm 30 years young and I'm originally from Alcobaça (in the center of Portugal) and I moved to Vila Nova de Famalicão (30km far from Porto, Guimarães and Braga) to join a new career challenge in 2013.

I studied Mechanical Engineer and I worked and lived abroad in:
- Ghana in 2009 (during 9 months due to InovContacto C13 Trainee Program)
-Hanover in 2013/2014 (another 9 months during the Continental Explore Manufacturing and Engineering Trainee Program)

This experiences just increased the will I have of meeting new people and cultures and share experiences.

Interests

I am an energetic and sportive person: love to listen music, run, play football, dance, cooking...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I applied to InovContacto (an International Trainee Program where you don't know where you are placed...you just know that you're going abroad) and was placed in Ghana: I was the first and only trainee placed until 2009. Ghana was considered the "exotic" destiny in this edition of the program...

Teach, Learn, Share

Isn't sharing experiences, by itself, a way of learning!?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nice and friendly atmosphere, good food/restaurant knowledge, guidance...
I'm looking forward to meet you soon.
