GPE Shining Stars #21 - Nando!

What is your favourite part about our family?

Everyone knows each other well and there is always a core of people thats up for a ride or a talk. Besides that, I would say there is a healthy balance between professionalism and a relaxed atmosphere. This as a whole creates an environment I find the most comfort in.

What do you typically drive and where do you drive it?

I usually drive an Iveco Stralis and you can mostly find me at convoys. Besides that, I like to drive areas that apply the most to what I am experiencing irl depending on the weather and sceneries.

What game is better: ETS2 or ATS? (Why)

Both games have their unique characteristics which makes this hard to answer. I think both games are good in their own ways.

What other games do you play?

I usually play shooter games like Valorant, CS and Overwatch. Besides that, I play other games that often include strategy or simply socialising with friends.

Why did you join the GPE Family?

I saw an advertisement and compared to other advertisements GPE stood out to me in different ways. The way things were phrased and its appearance felt unique to me and I gave it a shot. I was given a warm welcome and before I knew over 3 years have passed since I joined.

What is your dream job?

I have been playing football since a very young boy and up to this day I still play regularly. However, with my age I doubt I will be able to make it my job (but never say never haha). Currently I am studying and working in the logistics field, but I also wouldn't mind to get a job related to sports.

What would you say is one thing you have learned whilst in GPE?

Being in GPE has shown me the ins and outs of this community and it has made me grow both as a person and a driver. Throughout the years I have spent here, I have made many experiences with great people around me that allowed me to develop and become who I am right now.

What are your hobbies?

Besides gaming I like to travel and do sports. Being abroad, far away from home, comes along with the greatest stories. Whether it is a cultural trip or being out somewhere with friends. Besides that, sports do make me feel great as I find it fun to while its also healthy.

What 1 word sums up your TruckersMP experience?

Unique.

Finally, what would be your one bit of advice to a new driver on TruckersMP?

Enjoy and do your own things in your own way.

Many thanks to Nando for participating and answering the questions. We hope you enjoyed the twenty-first edition of our Shining Stars format. Do you have any feedback for us? We are always happy to hear from you!
