About Me 👋

I'm Idris, student, entrepreneur, and aspiring writer, all-around just a relentlessly curious guy.

Idris Moura PhotoHey there,

Before we dive in, let me just say—this page is mostly about me (and honestly, I’m not that interesting). So, if you’d rather check out my essays or do something else, I totally get it—no hard feelings!

Still here? 👀

Okay, so I’m Idris Moura. (In case you didn’t already guess from the website name.)

I was born in Spain and lived a good chunk of my life in a small village in Portugal.

From a young age, I developed a passion for building things.

I’d grab a piece of wood, scavenge motors from an old printer, and collect whatever else I could find around the house to create something new.

I won’t lie—most of it was pretty useless, but sometimes, I really miss my fly killer gun. That thing was amaing.

Anyway, it got to the point where my whole family knew if any electronic device got broken, everybody knew that the only option was to give it to me, never throw it away.

I’d then open it up, salvage the parts I thought I could use, and build something new with them. (Most of the time, I didn’t get much out of it, but I still loved opening things up and seeing what was inside.)

I just realized while writing this… I am 19 years old.

“My story” was not even truly began. I am in the 2 chapter, and I still a whole book in front of me.

Anyway, I created this website with the misson of sharing ideas and tools for better living — it helps me consolidate my learnings and, hopefully, helpful and interesting to anyone who reads it.

Thank you for reading!
