I was born and raised in Cascais, and this region has always been where I feel most at home, whether by the sea or in the mountains nearby. I started working as a sailing skipper at 18 and spent years guiding people on the water. Eventually, I found myself drawn back to the land, sharing the same passion for adventure through hiking, exploring, and discovering hidden places around Cascais and Sintra. After guiding for others, I decided it was time to do it on my own terms, creating adventures that feel personal, relaxed, and meaningful.
