About Sandro

Write a review
My name is Sandro and I was born and raised in Portugal. I love everything related to travel. I love authentic experiences, authentic people, and authentic cultures. :-) Traveling and touring is my passion — I not only get to know locals but I also get to meet great people from all over the world. There are also so many cool beaches, jungles, forests and cities around the world, I would love to visit them all! I lived in London for a few years and there I worked for one of the biggest travel groups in the world. It was one of the richest working experiences I have had and has made me a better travel specialist. The prospect of leading or being part of a goal-focused team that strives for excellence excites me and is very rewarding. Motivated by challenge and inspired by change, I thrive in a team environment with passionate people.

Sandro's Expertise

I don’t want to say I am specialized in one country or one city, but rather I know a little about a lot of cities, a few countries, and a few cultures. I can say I am definitely more specialized in Portugal and Spain, the countries that I spend at least 300 days a year in! As a travel specialist, I can say that I specialize in helping travelers have the perfect travel experience based on their preferences and interests.

Sandro's Best Travel Experience

Tasting an authentic dish from a different country can be scary—especially for me since I am a picky eater. But most of the time the food that I've tried has been so tasteful! Trying snake in Taiwan was one of them. Many countries take pride in their food, so my advice as a traveler is to be brave and adventurous and try some authentic dishes.

Why is Sandro the right travel expert

Traveling is not only a way to get away—it’s a way to learn and experience life through different cultures and pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone, and if you want to know more about Portugal, who is better than a Portuguese :-) If you want to know more about Spain — we are neighbors — I'm not Spanish, but I do love Spain and spend a lot of my time there. Hit me up, I can certainly help you out with travel to Spain or Portugal!
