Tiago Filipe
I've always traveled extensively with my family and from a very early age developed a strong taste for it. Portuguese were once sailors and discoverers and I like to think of myself as one too: a discoverer of people, food, landscapes, cultures and, very often, new friends. This is what I like to experience as a travel, and it is exactly what I try to convey to people traveling with me!
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"The whole of Portugal in terms of places and cultural, gastronomic and outdoors activities (where surf plays an important role!)"
How did you get involved in travel?
"I studied in the UK in the year 2000 and got to know a great number of people from different nationalities. Many of them came to visit me in Portugal and I started showing them around for fun. This "hobby" grew in me and I started getting an immense pleasure from it until it became a very serious thing!!"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Vietnam and Cambodia 2010. Me and my cousin went to attend a traditional Vietnamese wedding where I was the best man of a big friend of mine and got to visit both countries by buses, motorbikes and tuk-tuk some times self-guided some times taking advantage of the local friends expertise! 3 amazing weeks!!"

Dear Laurie,
Thank you so much for your words! Truly mean a lot to us!
But above all I'm happy that you enjoyed your trip overall and that, hopefully, you'll have some memories to share!
I'm sorry that I didn't get to meet Alex and Autry but João (the guide to Sintra) told me that you were a truly nice family! Please extend my regards to them!
All the best,
Tiago

This is truly sweet from you Rachael!! Thank you so much!
But I guess most credits go to Gustavo here! And to you, for beating that anxiety before the horseback ride! Well done!!
I'm only sorry that I didn't get to meet you and Don in person. Maybe next time...?
