THE JOY OF TRAVEL - ABOUT ME

THREE CRAZY PORTUGUESE BIKERS IN IOS :)

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

Carolina and Manuel

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
