Water Polo
I have always been athletic and don’t know life without sports or training.
I have practiced Water Polo since age 10, so “teamwork” is familiar to me. Throughout this long journey, I have played in three different teams: Oriental, Sporting and Benfica, where I won and lost matches, learned that hard work is contagious and, above all, gained friends for life.
As I moved to Lisbon to study, the city was new to me, and I had to endure the challenge of keeping a healthy work/life balance. Water polo helped me with that.
Reading and Cinema
Movies are a big interest of mine and I consider myself a cinematographer – as I’ve seen the most popular titles from 2000 onwards (I’m not into old titles though). I’m a big fan of going to the cinema with friends or by myself.
I love reading books, especially the ones that have movie adaptations. I love to read books first and then spot the differences while I’m watching the movies!
Before bedtime, I usually spend a few minutes reading, especially after an intense day of work. Some of my favorite book franchises are “Dune” and “The Hunger Games”.
Digital Drawing
I have an interest over concept art 🙂
