Luís Melo

Luís Melo, 33 years old, born in Santo Tirso (Oporto – Portugal). Degree in Electrical Engineer and professional in IT consulting. My educational, academic and professional path led me through Vila Real (studied at UTAD), Oporto (studied at FEUP and worked for Optimus/Novis), Paris (studied at ENSEA) and brought me to Lisbon (I work at Novabase).

I like all sports. To practice an to watch. I practiced futsal, handball and tennis. After the severe injury in the right knee ligament (and the consequent surgical operation), left team sports practice and now I dedicate to amateur mountain biking. I’m a big FC Porto supporter. I made many good friends since I joined volleyball, and now I’m one of Sovolei’s administrators. Politics fascinates me. I’m a supporter of the ideals and values of Social Democrat Party. Anyway I do not see politics as football. I respect all those who are in politics unselfishly, and put common interests ahead of their own.

I like travelling, but I prefer to “go out, inside Portugal“. Portugal has wonderful sites, and sometimes a weekend is enough to get to know a small paradise. We have very interesting villages and cities, at all levels. We have good culture, excellent food, water and wine, great monuments and unbelivable sights. I’m a fan of new Internet technologies, and although amateur, I’m a blogger and twitter.
