About me
The No Footprint Nomad
My story in 3 acts
First life – Career path
Industrial Engineer Master taken in Portugal and Sweden, specialised in Logistics and Operations and worked as a consultant and sourcing manager for Textile and Health Industries. Career growth was fast and so was the investment in a house mortgage and expensive sports car.
Second life – Travel the World
Decided not to postpone the dream of traveling the world before it “was too late” so left everything behind and together with Sara started a world travel. It was supposed to be just 1,5 years but we soon realised we did not want to come back to the first life and found a way to perpetual travel with remote work and digital nomadism, which we now share on No Footprint Nomads.
Third life – Back to business but with a purpose
After living in 6 countries and travelling with no special goal, decided it was time to give back. First, together with 3 more guys started an impact startup ( “groupon” business model for green businesses) that has closed down after 2 years. Then in 2017 launched an online travel lifestyle brand (No Footprint Nomads) and specialised in SEO and content marketing. Then the pandemic came and I went full on virtual events who then became some of them Hybrid. Today I organize events for my brands and for other companies related to impact or remote work.

My Zero Waste Travel Brand
In 2017 I launched a low footprint travel lifestyle brand to inspire others to be sustainable while on the road.
I share resources to help travellers have a lower impact, and choosing eco lodging is on of the most important ones, together with carbon credits for flying.
The thousands of visitors a month the website already has is a living proof the world is more aware of the tourist impact.
