If I had to sum myself up in one word, it would be contradiction. I’m both Portuguese and Chinese, born and raised in a city where East and West blend like spices in a well-balanced dish. I don’t fully identify as Western or Chinese. I live in the in-between, and I’m still discovering what that means.

I’m the most introverted extrovert you’ll meet. I overthink my spontaneity, and I’m both considerate and impatient. I love nature but get overwhelmed by it; I embrace technology but often wish I could unplug. I enjoy connecting deeply with people, though I avoid social media like the plague.

I’m discovering myself through others, through stories, shared meals, and illuminating conversations. If you’re someone who enjoys meaningful exchanges and a bit of philosophical wandering, we’ll probably get along.

Música, películas y libros

I’m drawn to the existential depth of Denial of Death, the epic storytelling of Lord of the Rings, and the genre-blending sounds of Khruangbin.

Participated in the Olympic Games as an athlete.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Let’s cook something together or mix up a cocktail. I love sharing flavors and stories. I’m always up for learning something new, especially if it’s tied to your culture or passions.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I bring stories, curiosity, and sweets. Because good conversations deserve good treats. I also welcome any excuse to re-re-revisit the many Macau historical sites, recount their stories and the history they witnessed.
