"Tudo bem! These are my favorite Portuguese words. It sums up well the sweet life here in the Algarve. I have felt in love with its culture, history, food and natural wonders. I am among those lucky people who are not afraid to go off the beaten track and experience life-changing stories. Travelling is the most powerful tool to find happiness in your life - magic will occur with all the people you meet."

How did you get involved in travel?
""From a very young age, my dad has brought me on all of his travels around the world. Since, I have discovered 30 different countries and lived in 4 different places as Thailand, France, UK and now Portugal. I became addicted in discovering other cultures and traditions, being in contact with local people, listening to their stories and having the privilege to smile at them in return.""
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
""I will never forget this trip in Vietnam, where in the same week we have been randomly invited to attend a wedding and a family karaoke at people's house! Boundaries are only the ones we create in our minds... Though, my most memorable experience is in Thailand on the island of Koh Samet, where I met the person who is sharing his life with me now.""
