Well this simple question has always been one very tricky for me to answer:
- I was born in Cabinda, a little triangle of territory that currently belongs to Angola but is separate from the main area of Angola, being stuck between the two Congos.
- At the time I was born, it was still a Portuguese colony. After the independence, my family, as most of the Portuguese residents, left the country. I wasn't yet 2 years old. My family settled in Senegal (west africa) after a short transition in the french Congo. I stayed in Senegal all my childhood, between 1976 and 1989. Then I left to Paris to complete my studies.
- Finally, I return to my family's homeland, Portugal, in 1995. Since then I start working in Porto (north of Portugal and home of my beloved FC Porto - a soccer team) and then moved to Lisbon (south centre of Portugal) in 2001.
