About the author

João Pedro Sampaio

Hi, I’m João Pedro Sampaio. I was born in 1993 in Leiria, Portugal, from where I jump started my goal of becoming a journalist. I got my degree, and master’s, in journalism and communication at the University of Coimbra. I’ve lived abroad, in Málaga, Spain for one year, but have been spending most of my professional career in Lisbon, Portugal. Most of that time in A BOLA tv, and now in a production company called PGM.
