My Travel Story

Due to my diverse ethnicity and background I was always interested in the world, its people, their language and their folklore . When I became a Teacher after my military services and having been overseas, I made sure that every thursday I will have "Cultural Thursday" whether in French, Spanish or German in my Classroom

I am convinced that I will with the grace of the almighty go back to the Classroom and that trip will enhance my cultural and Linguistic knowledge.
I teach basic soccer free to the children from the impoverished Neighborhood

Portugal has been a great Colonial Power and has left behind their language, their culture, Christianism throughout Africa(Cabo Verde, Sao Tome Y Principe, Angola, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique and Equatorial Guinea) and Brazil in Latin America and Timor del Este in South East Asia and not forgetting Macau and Goa in India..And with an additional  close to 3 millions Portuguese speaking people in America, I will have expanded my opportunities exponentially

Braganca is a small, unassuming town and life will be cheaper as I dont have much to spend so with tutoring, classes, lodging and food I will save a lot

The world is a wonderful place and if we, humans will just take time to appreciate others and value their culture, their religion, their difference...what a beautiful world world would have
Thanks to all in advance
