I don't deal well with stress, noise and crowds. From time to time I need to regain my own space for a couple of hours which is not usually a problem as I always find a way to get it peacefully.
I traveled for the first time when I was 39, and since then I became addicted. I don't have an accurate count of the countries I travelled through, but should be something around one hundred.
My past? Born and grew in a middle class neighborhood in Lisbon, Portugal. Studied History, worked in a bookstore, as a security officer. The I joined the Navy. Took a masters in National Defense, left the Navy and started doing websites. Moved to Southern Portugal. Now I am a travel writer and blogger and I own a few rental properties and a guesthouse.
