About me

About me
My name is Ruben. I'm a psychologist and I have a master's degree in management. I work as an HR technician in a Japanese multinational company and during the weekends I usually work as a guide in Porto. I love to watch and play sports.

Why Porto
The main reasons behind the love I have for my city are because I am familiar with the streets, the monuments, and I also feel identified with its culture and gastronomy.
