Spotter since 2025
Born and raised in Portugal, I called many other cities my home before settling in Berlin, and what was supposed to be a short 6-month stay in the German capital has now turned into a 7-year (and counting) affair.
I'm passionate about traveling and getting to know different cultures, and if I'm not on an adventure, I’m usually planning or dreaming about the next one. I try to really get to know the places I visit, and I’m always on the lookout for authentic experiences, which is how I stumbled upon Spotted by Locals many years ago.
When not traveling around or hiking up some mountain, you'll most likely find me on my yoga mat or writing away in my journal.
Zagros, a new Berlin favorite, serves up quality kebabs with fresh bread, flavorful fillings, and free tea. For me, they're winning the fierce competition!
