5TH EUROMEET PORTUGAL! We've made it :-)) The group of VTers in Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe. |
| THREE CRAZY PORTUGUESE BIKERS IN IOS :) |
|  | THE JOY OF TRAVEL - ABOUT ME Travelling is my passion and I have been here for a while but just recently put more time on writing and building my pages. I've also made many friends in VT so I think it's time you should know a bit more about me.
I was born in Portugal and have always lived here. My home is in Paço de Arcos, a small town close to the beach and the sea, between Lisbon and Cascais, a 15 minute drive from each. I have a translator course but after my kids were born I stopped working . Right now I am a Food Bank volunteer . I enjoy my work there very much , I visit the institutions that are helped by the Food Bank.
I am Catholic though I don't practise. I consider myself a very spiritual person and I treasure friendship a lot.
I recently began travelling alone. I used to travel most of the time with my son and daughter but they are grownups now and have their own lives so I had to opt by going by myself. The first trip I did on my own was to New York, last April and then I also went to Brazil alone. I did quite well and enjoyed it so, from now on, no one is going to stop me from travelling!
If you need any information on Portugal or on any destination I have been, feel free to ask. I will be glad to help.
UPDATE: I frequently leave my pc on when I am not at my desk and I have automatic connection to VT ,so if you see me online it doesn't mean I am really online or I am on VT :)
Happy Travels everyone! |
My Two Loves My son and my daughter. His name is Manuel and he is 28 years old. Her name is Carolina and she is 25. He is a Fine Arts graduate and she is a jeweller. Both artists. No son of mine could be an intelectual, lol!
They are my life and I am very proud of them and of the Human Beings they've become. Now I am looking forward that they have children and I become a nanny. | | |
| | My Favourite Things Favourite Destinations - I love exotic places. Brazil is on my top. Asia and Europe are my preferred continents . Fell in love with India, have been there twice and plan to visit it again soon. Asia and Europe are my favourite continents . Asia, for long holidays because of its exotism, culture, food, people. Europe for weekend getaways to the main cities, for its history and culture.
