Born and raised by the sea, in Póvoa de Varzim, plants his roots until adolescence on the beach of Salgueira.
From an early age, his parents took him to an idyllic place, a unique forest where all those different surroundings fascinated him, the Peneda-Gerês National Park, and there aroused his adventurous spirit.
Still propelled by his older brother's mountain biking adventures, through Gerês, Picos de Europa, Pyrenees, grew in him a desire to explore more and more.

2004 was fortune enough to come across with the girl who became the owner of his heart and who equally shares the same passion, to leave house behind and face the most ambitious mountains.

Since then, Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês has been their refuge.

Combining the profession of graphic designer with the incessant desire for adventure, whenever he can, he tries to climb higher. From Piquinho (the top of the Pico mountain in the Azores, the highest point in Portugal, 2421 meters high) to the Dolomites (Forcella Pordoi, Italy 2848 meters high), and with a very special affection for the Picos de Europa.
Coupled with all this, the passion for photography has been with him since he oriented his compass to the mountains, always sharing the most special places he visits.

That is why he is also an INDAGATIO ambassador.
