<p>Although I never skated growing up, moving to Portugal introduced me to the vibrant skate culture that thrives here. Slowly, I began to immerse myself in it.

It’s a candid glimpse into a moment that reflects my journey into this world, where skating is a shared experience more than a skill.</p>
