I live in the south of Portugal, in the Algarve, more precisely in Portimao, and my beach is Praia da Rocha with lefts all year round except in the summer, which is when I have to go out and travel. I also surf a lot on the south west coast where the sea is more constant and stronge. I often go for seasons to Ericeira, Santa Cruz and Peniche where I train with my coach Manuel Gameiro. I travel a lot, either with my family or with the training team or other surfers, where I highlight the Maldives, California, France, Spain, (including the Canary Islands), Morocco, and in Portugal, including the island of Azores and Madeira. I study at an online school to be able to travel and compete, and I dream of not only completing a degree useful for the community one day, but also being able to continue my competitive activity. Also dream of traveling across the globe and do inspiring and creative surfmovies.
