Hi! I’m Christine, an American who’s called Portugal home since 2018. Like many people, I’m passionate about food, wine, and travel, and I’ve turned that passion into a way of sharing just how much culture and history there is to discover in Portugal. I’ve also picked up a bit of street cred along the way with my WSET Level 2 and Portuguese Wine Specialist certifications.

Since making Portugal my home, I’ve been discovering Portugal from north to south every chance I get, often getting lost on purpose while chasing castles, wandering through small villages and towns, eating local delicacies, and searching for artisan goods.

After years of encouragement from family, friends, and even friends of friends, I finally decided it was time to share more of this life. When people visit and I play unofficial tour guide, they always tell me the same thing: you need to share this. To me, it’s just life, but I’ve come to realize it’s a pretty fabulous one and full of the kind of experiences many travelers are hoping to find.

My travel consultations are designed to help make your trip to Portugal smooth sailing, with advice and guidance from someone who actually lives here. My ultimate goal is to steer you beyond the big cities so you can experience the real Portugal.

I’ll also be slowly building out a blog with stories, tips, and discoveries to share along the way. And of course you can find me on the socials.

I hope you’ll join me on my journey and learn a little something along the way.

Saúde! (Cheers!),

Christine
