I was born on a snowy day in Maryland, but my story has always been shaped by multiple places. I spent my early years between Angola and Portugal. My childhood, often spent far from my parents,, taught me resilience, independence, and how to stand up for myself. It is where I learned to trust my instincts, adapt, and feel comfortable being alone.

Later, I returned to Angola, where I stayed until college, surrounded by warmth, culture, and a community that still feels like home. Eventually, curiosity drove me into the wider world. I moved to Boston for my undergraduate studies, spent a transformative year abroad in London and Monaco, and later completed my master’s in Paris. Each place contributed something unique to my personal development

All of these experiences have made me naturally multifaceted. I am the thoughtful observer, the intentional planner, the playful storyteller, and the warm host who loves bringing people together. I love asking questions, as curiosity has led me to amazing experiences.

Travel is an integral part of my identity, not just as moving from one place to another but as a way of finding meaning. I am happiest when I explore new locations, embrace local customs, or have deep conversations with people who view life differently.
