I am not living in Portugal at the moment.

* Note that I do not live in Lisbon. I leave in Estoril (about 25km far from Lisbon). However it is very close to the beach, to the town of Cascais and lovely Sintra. You can use the train nearby to get to Lisbon.

I am a vegan preschool teacher who enjoys being surrounded by small children, teach and learn with them and for sure have fun. Besides that, I also like to travel around the world and get to know people and their culture, religion, country and so on. I enjoy talking with them and share stories and experiences.

Usually I am involved in volunteering and social projects which brings me a lot of happiness, challenges and new opportunities to learn about the world we live in. I defend human rights, the rights of minorities, children's rights, the rights of refugees and LGBTI no matter their sexual orientation, from where they are, the religion they practice, their culture or skin colour. We are all people who must live in peace and get the same opportunities!

I enjoy the nature very much so taking care of our planet is a must for me.

Theater and musicals are also in my favorite list. My favorite musicals are Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables and Cats.
