Miguel Lomelino

I was born in Lisbon in 1966, a city rich in history and culture. Early on, I became fascinated by people—their thoughts, behaviors and beliefs—which led me to study Human Resources Management and Labour Psychology at Universidade Europeia. Belgium later became my home, where I built a new life and eventually gained citizenship.

Languages have always been a central passion. Portuguese is my mother tongue, but I am fluent in English, French, and Dutch. These languages have helped me connect across cultures and communicate naturally with people from diverse backgrounds.

Family is at the heart of who I am. I am a husband, father of five, and grandfather of two, with roots that stretch across Portugal, Belgium, Latvia, Brazil, the United States, Germany, Italy, and France. Our multicultural family has shaped my worldview and deepened my appreciation for different traditions and perspectives.

History is another lifelong interest, especially the Abrahamic religions, historical romances, and the key events of the 19th and 20th centuries. I see myself as both a student of Europe’s past and the historian of my own family, preserving stories and building our family tree.

Travel has also enriched my life. Exploring Central and Eastern Europe, Morocco, and Türkiye has deepened my understanding of how history and belief shape daily life.

I strive to balance tradition and innovation. I work professionally with Windows systems but enjoy experimenting with Linux at home, keeping my curiosity alive.

Looking back, my life is a tapestry of connections—between cultures, ideas, and generations—shaping me into someone who values understanding and embraces diversity.
