About Us

Hey there, welcome to my little slice of Porto paradise!

Originally from South Africa, my journey to Portugal has been one of transformation, discovery and a deep connection with this vibrant city. Arriving as an outsider, I quickly fell in love with Porto’s charm, its warm-hearted people and the stories hidden around every cobblestone corner. Over time, I’ve embraced life here – learning the language, forming lifelong friendships and uncovering the treasures that make Porto so special.

My passion lies in sharing the Porto that exists Beyond The Guidebook. Whether you want to stroll through historic neighbourhoods, find the best spots for local food or just experience the city like a true local, I’m here to make it happen.

Let’s explore Porto together, share the flavours, stories and secrets of this remarkable city, beyond the tourist trail and create memories that’ll stay with you long after you leave.
