I'm Carolina, your local expert for Portugal

Hello everyone! I'm Maria Carolina, born in Santarém and raised in the peaceful Portuguese countryside. My love for the sea took me to Peniche, where I lived for three years and graduated in Tourism.

But my curiosity didn't stop at mainland Portugal! I spent a year in Madeira, discovering its breathtaking landscapes, famous levadas and welcoming culture.

Travelling is one of my greatest passions. At 22, I've explored much of Portugal, from Alentejo's villages to its beautiful coastline. I believe my country is full of authentic places waiting to be discovered, and I love helping travellers create their dream holidays while sharing Portugal's beauty and culture.
