Vizela Municpality

The people of Vizela are some of the bravest and proudest of Portugal. They fought for their land, for their, home, for their honor, for their independence, and especially for their name.

I set out to harness such self-love and commitment to one’s self cause, by drawing a parallel between the struggles of a young woman within the professional football world.

Maria had a dream…A passion that burned deep inside of her…To become a professional footballer and play for her home team of Vizela. Her commitment to being on par with the demands of a male pro football team meant that she had to sacrifice everything she had… After all, there is no glory without pain, there is no courage without fear. Especially when you have the city of Vizela supporting you at every step. Maria’s story is one of self-belief and personal conquest. Set in the background of Vizela, it draws a parallel to the long and arduous struggle that the people of Vizela endured for their independence because all good things come to those who fight for their name’s honor.

ART Azores - Associação Regional de Turismo

There is life before, and life after visiting the Azores…

Within all my journeys, there have only been two places that managed to change the way I look at the world. The first was Varanasi in India and the second is now the Azores. If Varanasi brought closer to understanding the role that death plays within our time on this earth, then the Azores taught me to the admire the moment of Genesis and the creation of life. You can touch the clouds, dive 3m and be overwhelming surrounded by sea life, walk dormant volcanoes…Many times I found myself just gazing at Mother Nature, admiring her beautiful work, just like my ancestors surely did when they first landed on this archipelago.

Ribatejo Tourism Board

Portugal’s Ribatejo region is home to the Lusitano Horse, vast fields of flowers, the biggest forests of cork trees in the world and a true farm to table way of life.

Filming the amazing Ribatejo region was one of the most fulfilling projects that I have have been involved with. Even though the region is not on many “bucket lists” it is full of proud people, rich culture, deep traditions and many natural wonders. I set out to discover how the people of Ribatejo see their own land and I was very surprised with the enormous success of the Ribatejo film, which has now over 500k views.

Alentejo Tourism Board

The Alentejo is certainly my favorite region within the whole of Portugal. I reached out to the folks at the  Alentejo Tourism Board with the idea of making a series of first-person travel films where the main character would tell the story of the territory through her own life experience. The result? The best travel videos I have the pleasure of making so far!

APTECE - Portuguese Food Travel Association

José Borralho, Teresa Santos and the team of APTECE are like family to me. They were the very first ones to believe in the quality of my work and I couldn’t have made it this far without all their support. My biggest debt to them was the opportunity to write my Portuguese Travel Cookbook, which won two Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.  In these 5 years I helped APTECE with the organization of the World Travel Food Summit 15, I brought tens of travel, food, and wine bloggers to discover Portugal with them, and most importantly supported José and Teresa in making Portuguese Gastronomy the #1 reason to travel to Portugal.

Centro de Portugal Tourism Board

What started out as a simple storytelling pitch, ended up as being my largest first-person content production project so far. I have to thank Marli, the Executive Director of ARPT – Centro de Portugal for believing in my vision of how the stories of the different subregions of Centro de Portugal should be told. I assembled a team of close friends, who are also very good at the content they produce and we set off to travel through the Centro de Portugal for more than 2 months altogether. The 6 incredible films we produced reached over 2,5M impressions across social media and harnessed over 1M views. The Coimbra and Serra da Estrela movies received awards at international film festivals. Besides the films, over 50 blog posts with beautiful photographs were published providing my community with precious information on how to travel through the Centro de Portugal.  Many of them rank #1 or on the first page of Google.

Douro Exclusive

Ana and Marco have a very big heart. This is why they left their corporate jobs to follow their lifelong passion of showcasing the best of the Douro Valley. We were 10 minutes into our first talk and I already knew that I wanted to work with them and that their story had to be told. We spent a week filming in the Douro Valley, witnessing the love they give to their clients. During this time I also had the opportunity to counsel Ana and Marco on the best way to reach and engage direct customers and relinquish their dependence on TripAdvisor reviews. The film is a very emotional detail of the happiness they enjoy from being able to fulfill their lifelong dream.
