Who I am
Restless | Resilient | Reliable
I’m the boss with an idea. This is my creative/adaptable team who are going to make it happen ;-))
My craziest dream
To go down the Olympic bobsleigh track at Innsbruck… also to employ a guy!
My favourite travel destination
Happiest sitting or lying down at the very top of a beach bar on Ancão beach.
My inspirational quote
"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... The ones who see things differently—they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who do." – Steve Jobs

Who I am
Organised | Resilient | Motivated
I am also an optimistic person, always able to find the positive side of everything. I thirst for knowledge and seek to learn something new every day to expand my mind.
My craziest dream
To have a private jet so I could travel anywhere, anytime I wish (and also learn to pilot it).
My favourite travel destination
Phi Phi and the surrounding islands in the south of Thailand — a little paradise on Earth. I hope to explore it more one day. Also, most of the beaches in the Algarve or Costa Vicentina. The beach is my happy place (especially during sunset hour).

Who I am
Leader | Ambitious | Efficient
I love travelling, discovering different cultures, and meeting new people. I'm a foodie at heart and love being by the sea.
My craziest dream
Travelling to the moon! Or to the wreck of the Titanic. Both are quite impossible, but still a dream.
My favourite travel destination
Everywhere and anywhere! From the silent desert of the Sahara to the bustling streets of the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona, visiting the romantic city of Paris, and ending in the eternal city of Rome, Italy, sipping wine by the Colosseum. There's really no way to pick one place, right?

Who I am
Responsible | Curious | Determined
I like to enjoy the little things in life... feeling the sun on my face and the wind in my hair. Oh, and reading—I love a good book.
My craziest dream
To travel back in time. Also, to go around the world in 80 days... although I’d probably need more time.
My favourite travel destination
Italy, for sure! A country full of culture and art, with so much to see and learn.
My inspirational quote

Who I am
Passionate | Adventurous | Dedicated
I love connecting with the world and with people. I have a deep passion for exploring new places, filling my soul with remarkable experiences, enjoying the charms of different cultures, and constantly learning new things.
My craziest dream
I wish I had the power to teleport so I could fully embrace life, explore every corner of the world, and be with the ones I love—free from any barriers holding me back!
My favourite travel destination
I am so versatile that it would be hard to choose just one destination. I love the beauty of the mountains in Hallstatt, the charm of Bordeaux and its delicious wines, the diversity of Brazil, the enchanting coast of the Algarve, the impressive Gothic and Baroque architecture of Prague, the volcanic archipelago of the Azores, and so much more!
