I arrived in Lisbon as a visitor and fell deeply in love with its streets, its voices, and its traditions. Today I live in the heart of the Historic Center, where every day I continue to discover the grandeur of one of the oldest cities in the world. I am a history teacher and am passionate about sharing not only the great events but also the authentic lives of Lisbon residents: their families, their customs, and the stories of the women who shaped Portugal. I embrace respectful and curious tourism, which appreciates the typical and the traditional, and I enjoy guiding those who wish to explore Lisbon with the eyes of a traveler and an open heart.
