This adventure started with Sara, a proud Industrial Engineer from Porto. When she is not writing on the blog or showing her city around, you will find her studying military history (for real), hiking or endlessly discussing where to have the best francesinha.

Tommy was born to an English father and a Portuguese mother, but don’t let his accent fool you! He’s as “Tripeiro” as they come. He graduated in International Relations, but Music is his true passion… well, that and Porto of course! He enjoys talking at great length about his hometown to other people… and loves to listen to others as well, making him a pretty good companion, especially if you are coming to visit his city!

Joana is an Art Historian and author, who soon realised that working at a desk for a museum or a foundation wasn’t for her. She’s a story teller, after all, and Porto (her passion) is full of stories to tell.

Pedro was born in Porto and graduated in Astronomy. He lived for a couple of years in Ireland – the rain and the heart of the natives always made him feel at home. But from early on he discovered the joy of being around people, and he became a very talented guide. He jumped on board when Portoalities was still a tiny project and his kindness, patience and sense of humour won him a steady place on this adventure.
