Olà, dear travellers. My name is Alessia.
I studied Foreign Languages and I'm a certified European Tour Leader.
My incurable passion for travel and photography brought me to Portugal, where I fell in love with Porto and every day I live it by immersing myself in its great history and tradition, between sun and waves, breathtaking views, wines and romantic glimpses of its invincible beauty.
Come with me on a journey through the scents of old markets and the stories of authentic people, of fishermen and conquerors ... to the most secret places that only locals and those who love the less touristy routes can know.
