Travel has always been a cherished dream of mine, a spark ignited by a poignant verse from Álvaro de Campos, the celebrated heteronym of Fernando Pessoa, Portugal's literary icon. His words, 'The best way to travel is to feel. To feel everything in every way,' resonated deeply with me and became my travel mantra. This profound passion for exploration evolved into a love affair with my homeland, Portugal. It sparked a compelling question: Why not share this love with others? Why not guide them in discovering the rich tapestry of Portugal's culture and identity? Thus began my adventure as a travel expert, weaving together my deep-seated love for travel and the vibrant culture of Portugal. My mission is to craft personalised itineraries that transcend conventional tourism, offering a gateway into the heart of Portugal. Every itinerary I design is a narrative of Portugal's soul, a journey beyond the typical tourist paths, inviting you to experience the distinct flavours, sights, and sounds of our incredible country. Despite its modest size, Portugal is a treasure trove of experiences, from the verdant north to the sun-kissed south. Join me in this enchanting exploration of Portugal. Let's embark on a journey where you don't just visit places; you feel them, live them, and carry a piece of Portugal in your heart forever.
