Discovering smiles throughout the World


















Há melhor forma de começar o ano do que a sorrir? Deixo-vos por isso na primeira publicação de 2017, os sorrisos de pessoas de alguns dos países que mais me marcaram... Alguns pelo estilo de vida cosmopolita e qualidade de vida e outros pela aparente falta dela, mas que me receberam com humildade e simpatia!

Is there a better way to begin the New Year than smiling? That is why I leave you with the first publication of 2017, the smiles of people from some of the countries that marked me the most... Some of them due to the cosmopolitan lifestyle and quality of life and others by the apparent lack of it, but who received me with humility and affection!

Quando nos confrontamos com diferentes culturas e costumes, são vários os valores que se levantam! Alguns são difíceis de compreender ou aceitar, mas o que é realmente importante afinal? Percebemos que há tanta coisa boa que podemos aprender e outras para repensar nas nossas rotinas e hábitos, que nos são praticamente impostos à nascença! Por isso, uma coisa é certa, não sei qual o melhor caminho para a felicidade, mas as pequenas coisas que nos fazem momentaneamente felizes são comunicados de forma universal – como por exemplo através de um simples sorriso!

When we are confronted with different cultures and traditions there are several values that may arise! Some of them are difficult to understand or accept, but what’s really important after all? We realize that there are so many good things that we can learn from and others to rethink about in our daily routines and habits, which are practically imposed on us at birth! So one thing is right, I do not know the best way to happiness, but the little things that make us momentarily happy are universally communicated - such as through a simple smile!

I hope that in 2017 the world will smile to you and that you can cultivate smiles wherever you go!
