Profile

I was born in Luanda, Angola but soon moved to Lisbon and later to Alexandria, VA, where I reside until today. From then until my college days in Boston University, I also lived a year in Peniche, a small town in Portugal, and spent another year at a boarding school in Pangbourne, England. I need Angola and go back whenever I can, but I have also discovered other fascinating countries throughout the world and learned along the way that the thing I most love in life is traveling.
