Originally from Sal Island in Cape Verde, began his journey as a guide in 2008.

From an early stage, he developed a deep connection with nature, dedicating part of his path to exploring trails in arid environments, birdwatching, and engaging in conservation projects. Among these, his involvement in bird and sea turtle monitoring initiatives stands out.

Over the years, he has consistently invested in his training, with a strong focus on nature interpretation, best practices in natural areas, and sustainable tourism.

His fascination with the Azores began in 2010, growing stronger in 2016, when he and his family first envisioned building a life here. In 2022, he chose Pico Island as his home – a decision that quickly turned into a true passion.

It was also on Pico that he deepened his path in the mountains, becoming a mountain guide and expanding his experience into this new context, where he combines technical knowledge with his solid background in nature and interpretation.

Today, he is a great admirer of the resilience, creativity, and welcoming spirit of the people of Pico — values he recognizes and seeks to reflect in the way he lives and guides.
