Hello! My name is Sara and I live in Coimbra, my hometown. Coimbra is a beautiful and historic town in the Central Region of Portugal, classified as World Heritage by UNESCO in 2013!

After graduating, having many different jobs and doing an intership at a local cultural association related with traditional Portuguese music, I have decided to become a Tour Guide and open my own business called "GO! Walks Portugal". It was in the spring of 2012 that I started welcoming travelers from all around the World to my hometown (first), region and country (later on, in 2015)!

I really like my hometown but I am also very knowledgeable about Portugal in general, since I graduated in Tourism, Leisure & Heritage by the University of Coimbra - a degree focused on areas such as History, Languages, Geography and UNESCO sites. I have traveled all around the country on my own, and I have also built and guided customized routes to travelers throughout Portuguese territory between 2015 and 2020.

In 2020, during COVID lock-down, I created a YouTube Travel Channel under the name "GO! Walks Portugal" where I made available more than 70 videos about my country!

I am fluent in Portuguese, English and Spanish. I have learnt German (highschool, for 3 years) and Italian (University, for 2 years), two languages that I may review in a near future!

More recently I worked on a Master Degree thesis in Art Studies - Music - and wrote about the Portuguese Guitar. I always liked music (I used to be a singer and known many musicians all my life), and this was a great opportunity to learn more about and understand this instrument, so important in the Portuguese culture.

Currently I am investing in my personal growth. I am also interested in continuing guiding tours in my region, training people for that purpose and managing my company. I am very commited into offering audio-tours too, so I expect that this cooperation with VoiceMap continues on growing!
