Born and raised in Guimarães, Nuno Gomes moved to Lisbon to embrace the biggest challenge in his life (at least until now): to be a part of the Portuguese Space Agency, Portugal Space’s communications department.

He studied communication and journalism in the Trás-os-Montes and the Minho regions. He began his career as a freelance journalist, writing for three years for local and national newspapers. You will likely find him with headphones at any time of the day or drawing on his notebooks. 

People often tell him his head is always up on the moon — and the astronaut tattooed on his arm can be a way to prove that.
