My name is Bruno Pereira (Litos). I am Portuguese and I live in Luxembourg, in the north of the country.
LITOS NEWS was born from a simple idea: the news that reaches us is almost always bad, but the world is also full of progress, discoveries and acts of kindness. This website brings those stories together, from Portugal to Japan, from Brazil to Angola. They all come from reliable sources and always include a link to the original story, so that every reader can check it.
I am not a trained journalist. I am someone who works, has a family and decided to do something positive with my free time. Besides LITOS NEWS, I have other personal projects, such as LITOS, a brand of comfortable, understated clothing.
The website is independent and has no intrusive advertising. If you enjoy what you read, you can support the project on Ko-fi.
