DESTINATIONS
With just a couple of hours or 1 week to spare... come alone, with all your relatives or with those friends that only see once a year.

ABOUT UNOFFICIAL AMBASSADORS
MARTA DAVID / LISBON / EVERYWHERE
I'm what you can call a travelholic, someone addicted to enjoy the best of this beautiful country, and the world, has to offer. Driving is in my DNA and smilling is almost unconscious. I may talk non-stop but always to say something interesting, and to tell that story that you'll share with your family and friends. I'm ready to share some of your memories.
I'm Marta David and a very young looking 37 years old woman. Some of my friends call me David (yes, like in the army!) because there seems to be too many Marta's around here... others call me Martinha (portuguese like to add inha or inho - feminin or masculin - to the names of anything to make it sound more fluffy and sweet... even bread or wine!)
Travelling has been my life goal for some years now, and i'm not thinking of stopping any time soon. Showing you my city of Lisbon, and the rest of the country, is not just my profession... it's a pleasure. Researching about new places, adding more restaurants and special monuments to my Google Maps list is a daily routine. I like that everyone around me seems to think i don't really work... but the truth is that when you love what you do it will never feel like a job.

JOÃO GODINHO LISBON / SETÚBAL/ ÉVORA
With João it will be impossible for you to eat a bad meal or drink a not so good wine. The reason is because he knows the region like no one else, and more important than that, it´s people. Born in Lisbon but raised by the beautiful landscape of Alentejo, due to family business, it was after his education in Switzerland and travelling the world that Évora was the city he decided to live with his family. With him you will have the best experiences this region has to offer.
NUNO / LISBON / WORLD
Nuno will always entertain you. Not only because he is an amazing musician, but because he is also a storyteller and an historian combined. Graduated in Tourism and History, he quickly found out that the best way to learn was to travel the world. Still, he realised that Portugal was the place he wanted to live and raise his family. As a blogger and an enthusiast of our culture, Nuno will gladly share all the knowledge and mileage of many years walking around the back streets of Lisbon.
