The Azores are much more than the place where I was born. This island is my shelter, my home, and the place I always come back to. I love traveling and experiencing places as if I were a local for a little while. I studied Communication and started working in Tourism and Hospitality when I returned to São Miguel. I can't resist a good story and making someone happy, at the end of the day, that's what makes me happy too.

Tour description
I'll be so glad to welcome you here in my hometown! This is not only the place where I was born but also the one I chose to call home. I hope you feel at home too!
On this tour, I will guide you through Ribeira Grande and tell you some of the stories behind buildings, landmarks, and all the nature surrounding us. Do you know the meaning behind the phrase "It's made of stone, not of pumpkin"? And did you know that one of our favorite dishes is cooked underground? Find these and other stories about this peculiar place that resists earthquakes, inspires poets, is "kissed by the sea" and is covered by a mysterious mist that sparkles imagination.
