Luís Miguel is only 12 years old, but he already knows what he wants to be when he grows up. While some children dream of being doctors or engineers, he wants to be a shepherd. His choice contrasts with the more traditional professions that many children usually aspire to.
The boy lives in Nunes, a small village in the municipality of Vinhais. The village, of small dimensions, is characterized by the rural environment where pastoral activity has tradition.
Luís Miguel is accustomed to working with the flock from an early age. He started going out with the flock when he was only two years old, which demonstrates a deep connection to this activity since childhood.
His day starts early, as is characteristic of someone who works in the field with animals. This routine has been part of his life for a decade, shaping his lifestyle and his aspirations for the future.
