Hello, my name is Carlos and I am a traveler, backpacker and storyteller. I have traveled through Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Portugal where I fell in love with the local culture, food and history, especially the Algarve and Lisbon. My passions are storytelling, reading, video games and history (especially the medieval ages and the time of the Roman Empire). I have done a lot of activities in my life, however right now I feel very good working as a tour guide. I am considered an outgoing human being, who can be very witty and passionate. For me human interactions have a great value, I really enjoy learning about different cultures
