About
"Portugal touched my soul and stole my heart"
Welcome, Bem-vindo !
Lindo Portugal was born from a personal story. In a period of my life where change, self-reflection and personal identification played a central role, I found an unexpected connection with the Portuguese culture and the sounds of Fado. It's melancholy, hope, longing, joy, sadness and deep emotional resonance touched me everywhere in my body. Through this music, I discovered "Saudade", a uniquely Portuguese feeling and lifestyle that spoke directly to my heart. It wasn't just a sound, I let me understand the Portuguese way of living. I felt a deep connection with my own situation in life, my own feelings, my personality. I felt and still feel at home. Like a place where I belong, a second home. It was very strange and confronting to me. Because from origin, I have no familiar connection with Portugal. I'm a Belgian, from the Flemish part.
Immersing myself in Portuguese culture
"Learning and discovering another culture"
That moment sparked something in me. I began to learn the Portuguese language, culture, gastronomy and rich history. I travelled much to explore Portugal more deeply. So, I fell more in love with all the aspects of this beautiful country, especially those that are less known and more hidden. I discovered the warmth and hospitality of the people, their open mind-set to the world and the breathtaking landscapes of the country. But most of all the slower rhythm of everyday life, with a more personal connection with the people around them. As well as places where you still can disconnect from the fast digital life, disconnect from the rat race.
Sharing my experiences about Portugal
"I didn't only found Portugal, I found a part of myself"
The spirit of the Portuguese explorers, always seeking, always moving forward, resonated with my own inner traveller. Here I made a switch to connect my technical knowledge and background with my passion for other cultures, storytelling and discovery. That's how Lindoportugal.eu was born: a space to share unique places, tours and trips, gastronomy and travel advice about Portugal, all by my personal experiences and love for this country.
"Beautiful Portugal"
That's why I came to the name LindoPortugal, which is Portuguese for 'Beautiful Portugal". With the subtitle "Learn from the most western discoverers of Europe". Because I learned from them, from their culture and what they brought to Europe. All in the period of the famous Portuguese Maritime Discoveries. Which is marked as the start of our modern connected world where we live now. So on LindoPortugal, I share the passion, culture, food and history of Portugal with you.
Sharing European travel information
"I didn't only found Portugal, I found a part of myself"
My journey didn't stop here. I liked it to share travel information. So, I spread my wings and it also led to a broader platform for European travel information on Voyageiro.eu. I also started making a growing collection of videos, podcasts, guides and digital stories to bring travel to life.
Enjoy!
Through LindoPortugal.eu, I hope to share not only tips, but also the feeling of Portugal. That you get something from its soul, its flavours and its welcoming community. Whether you're planning a trip or simply curious, I invite you to discover the beauty, passion and humanity of this remarkable country in South Europe.
