Toda a Esperança do Mundo

A sunny Saturday afternoon in Porto, I shove me in an old house or warehouse, near Campanhã, in the street Miraflor; Mira space.
With a sunny afternoon, in time to take this sun glimmer, this gift, I went to a book presentation.
Saturday, world day of mourning for the sad events of Paris, went to see photographs from Alfredo Cunha and listen to the stories that make up the life story of Luis Pedro Nunes, Fernando Nobre and all who work with AMI.
What a beautiful Saturday afternoon.
A life lesson, a lesson of history, recalling that it is alive, which is n`t enclosed in books. Paris is reflection of this or what our interlocutors lived of "All the World Hope" in Niger, Bangladesh, Romania or Nepal.
During the presentation, I thrilled me several times. I heard Luis Pedro and I remembered that I lived in a hospital in Aswan or the joy of the poor children of Maputo.
I remembered hundreds of people from Porto, Lisbon, Oliveira de Azeméis, a little everywhere, who lives miserably.
I heard Luis Pedro, Alfredo Cunha and Fernando Nobre and arouse, even more, why I like to travel: to see the world, new people, cultures, ways of being and living. It is to study without being in the books is to burn the skin and mind knowledge.
I read it from one end to the other, eager for knowledge, to see and read more and more. Each point on the map, each conversation with a person who lives, works, dreams in another corner of the world.
The book, a brilliant edition of Porto Editora with a quality able to mirror the eye Alfredo Cunha, is strong in feeling, powerful writing and chilling in the image.
It is a lesson and we must thank the AMI his work over 30 years.
We are coming to Christmas; season is traditionally offer themselves present. Put it on top of your preferences; worth and helps to help.

João Rebelo Martins

My name is João Rebelo Martins, I have 33 years old, I´m Portuguese and I´m a communication and marketing consultant.

Beyond my professional experience, I have two major hobbies: travelling and motor racing. Those define me as a man and as a professional.

But i´m here to talk about travelling!

The passion of travelling comes from the challenge, the adventure and as Portuguese loving my country and the main role that Portugal had in global history. Doing thousand of miles by car, airplane, train or boat to meet new people, join cultures and learn another civilization is very exciting. It´s a quest for knowledge, empiric, but very loyal because it´s lived firstly, completing what we can learn by the books.

From travelling i like to remember moments: the sunshine, a smell, a smile, the taste of the traditional local food or the sound from a Brazilian cavaquinho.

"No longer missing all" is a travel plan all around the world. By now I have been in 21 countries, 15 capitals and 3 continents. Every single day of trip i wrote on a blog and, after arriving home, i wrote for magazines and i give conferences in schools to motivate young people.
