About Me

Life Motto

“ Do-so is better than say-so. So, be kind and present for the people in your life and willing to walk an extra mile to help someone or achieve your goals ”

Maria Proiete

Personal History

I was born and raised in Lisbon/Portugal. As an adult lived in Luanda/Angola, in Santos/Brazil. I am currently living in the beautiful island of Bermuda.

Things I like and Hobbies

I love photography, hanging out with my family and friends, learning about other cultures and to experience new foods and new approaches to do stuff, and to go to the cinema and watch TV shows. Despite being extroverted also like my privacy, quiet times at home is where I'm able to be by myself reading a good book, listening to music, or studying about a new cool technology, sociology or history; or go out alone to walk or to take pictures. My Achilles' heel is eating comfortable foods and I have a sweet tooth.

As a photographer

You can see (or buy) my last photography work at 500px.com and iStockPhoto.com and on this website all the photos used that have no credit are mine. Before being a photographer hobbyist I used to post the photos I had snapped on Flirck.
