I’m 39 years old and I’m an extremely open and fun person, who loves to meet new people and give everybody a warm welcome. I work as a translator and teacher and I lived abroad for several years, in Spain, France and South America. I have two great passions: Douro, where I grew up and that defined me so much as a person, and travelling. I travelled to several parts of the world, including to South America for 1 year. I had the opportunity to stay as a guest with hosts that helped me to get to know and experience the places I visited in a genuine and meaningful way and that is also what I want to do for my guests. I can contact several partners in the region that will allow our visitors to discover the best-kept secrets of this stunning region.
