About Me

I come from Aveiro, northern city of Portugal, but living in Lisbon since I came to university to study law.
I know Lisbon and surroundings as well as all Portugal, and can be a good help for those who want to know this city and this country.
I consider myself a good host, I like to get to know other people and cultures and mentalities.
I have an open mind and accept different points of view and different ways of living.
I do not make judgments about people who do not know, and when I know accept their differences.
I am an easy going person, I like to talk and have a good sense of humor.
I want to know other countries and experience new cultures.
