\"Portugal<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re Ana and Ollie, and Portugal has been our home since 2018. What began as a desire to explore the country soon became a much bigger project: documenting the places, flavours, traditions, and stories we encountered along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We created We Travel Portugal to help others experience much more than the familiar highlights. Our guides combine practical advice with the history, culture, and local knowledge that make each destination meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From detailed itineraries and quick travel tips, to regional food guides and our favourite Portuguese recipes, everything here comes from our own experiences of living in and exploring the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is behind We Travel Portugal? <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ana Veiga \u2013 Travel and Food Writer, Videographer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My connection to Portugal runs deep. When I was just four years old, my family relocated to Viseu in central Portugal. Although we eventually moved back to Brazil, the country never truly left my heart. My father remained in Portugal which meant I was constantly flying back for short visits, and I never lost my tie to this beautiful land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, the pull became permanent. I moved back to Portugal, to the University of the Lisbon to pursue a degree in English and French Language and Culture, and fell in love with the country all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having worked within the local hospitality scene, I\u2019ve developed a deep, firsthand understanding of Portuguese culture, hospitality, and daily life. We Travel Portugal is where I channel that insider knowledge into practical guides, hidden-gem recommendations, and cultural insights. I’ll help you discover Portugal, like a local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a writer, my goal is to help you fall in love with Portugal the way I have. Whether you\u2019re planning your very first trip, looking for local Lisbon secrets, or trying to track down that perfect restaurant you saw online, consider We Travel Portugal your ultimate insider guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ollie Richards \u2013 Travel Writer and Photographer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Originally from England, my connection to Portugal began in the south, where I worked as a researcher at the University of the Algarve. While studying the region’s marine biology and stunning coastal ecosystems, my “office” consisted of the lagoons, hidden beaches, and historic port towns of the Algarve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It didn\u2019t take long before I decided I wanted to stay in Portugal permanently. Fisherman\u2019s tales, shacks by the sea, seafood lunches, it all sounds clich\u00e9, but while studying marine biology and the coast I really managed to get under the skin of many of the coastal villages and port towns of the Algarve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I live in Lisbon, trading the field research for photography and travel writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
