Hi, I'm Lélia
Born in the historic center of Lisbon, local guide for 11 years and a proud ambassador of Portugal.
My story
I was born in the historic center of Lisbon, in the same old streets I now love to show to travelers from all over the world. For 11 years I’ve been a local guide, and a proud ambassador of Portugal. It’s the job I always dreamed of, but it took me a while to get here: I spent 24 years working in the printing industry before I finally followed my heart.
Maybe that’s why I love it so much. I love driving along the coast, I love meeting people from all over the world, and I love planning each trip around the people in my van. No two days are the same, because no two travelers are the same.
I feel blessed to live in such a beautiful country, and I love sharing the stories behind every place we visit. The legends of Sintra, the faith of Fátima, the waves of Nazaré. Every corner of Portugal has something to tell.
And one more thing you should know about me: like every Portuguese person, I talk about food all the time. Our food is that good. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you exactly where to eat. In my free time, I volunteer at a local dog shelter. So if your four-legged friend is traveling with you, they’ll be in very good hands.
I can’t wait to show you my Portugal.
Lélia
