Lives in Porto, Portugal
🙌 Welcome to coolest neighbours, your passport to off-the-beaten-path adventures! We're Isabel and José, two Portuguese engineers with an insatiable appetite for exploration. It's the thrill of exploring new cultures, savouring exotic cuisines, and diving headfirst into the unknown. We're not your average travellers; we're seekers of cultural immersion, hardcore foodies and firm believers that the best adventures lie off the beaten path. 🌍 With over 40 countries stamped in our passports, we've honed our travel expertise to uncover the hidden gems that often escape the tourist radar. We are more about people watching and wondering among the locals, than hitting that world-renown monument. What sets us apart? It's our commitment to going beyond the obvious tourist guide and diving deep into each destination. Food is something that we take very seriously. We make sure to find the gems that will show you true local experiences and assure you stares from the locals - "How did they find this?". 🧳 Why should you trust us? Because we've been there. We've navigated bustling souks in Marrakech, trekked through lush jungles in Costa Rica, and shared meals with locals in remote mountain villages in Vietnam. We've learned from our experiences, embracing the unexpected twists and turns that make travel so exhilarating. So whether you're dreaming of exploring hidden temples in Indonesia, embarking on a culinary journey through Greece, or seeking adrenaline-pumping thrills in the rugged landscapes of Namibia, we will craft an unforgettable adventure tailored just for you.

Backpack Aleks
Lives in Reykjavík, Islandia
Hi! My name is Aleks and I have been full-time travelling for the last 7 years. During that time I visited 4 continents and 37 countries and am still discovering more. My travels started during my university years, which often meant a tight budget. Instead of giving up travel I just decided to become resourceful and find the perfect itineraries that still fit my tight budget and let me explore the world. On this account, I will be sharing many of the tips and tricks I learned along the way as well as full itineraries that I did and you can follow. My first years of travel were typical backpacking style, hostels, moving from place to place many people and experiences. But as time went by I was also able to do more comfort travel, renting a car with friends and going on road trips. Either way, before every trip, I spend weeks planning and researching and it's one of my favourite parts of the adventure. However, I know it can be overwhelming and tedious at times so I decided to share my research and my itinerary with you. At the moment I still mostly do backpacking-style trips - many destinations, constantly on the move and discovering as much as possible. So if you are looking for an active itinerary you found a perfect place! ✨Testimonials ✨ 'Wow. I am super impressed by the itinerary designed by you. You are meticulous and consider all requirement from us and also consider other aspect. The itinerary format is superb and very easy to read. A lot of effort is done in this itinerary. I have never seen any itinerary as good as your. Thank you! 😊😊'

Sasha Raikhlina
Lives in Boston, MA, USA
Hey! I'm Sasha and I'm an avid traveler. I find a place I like and I explore it until there is nothing left to explore. Since 2022, that place has been Portugal (and the Azores Islands), where I have travelled at every opportunity I get - six times thus far. I have explored a different location/aspect/travel modality each time. From taking trains to get around the country, to renting a manual transmission car and getting stuck in the summer heat on an uphill off-the-map backroad of a vineyard in the Douro, to cycling from Lisbon to Sintra on three broken gears - I've done it all. Well, most of it! And I've made enough (beautiful!) mistakes along the way that I can also guide you as to what NOT to do and how to create beautiful memories and lasting connections. Although my expertise in Portugal and the Azores, I'd also be happy to guide you around my hometown of Boston and the beautiful surrounding nature in the region. I have peaked all 48 4000 footers of New Hampshire and have done 30+ mile single day hikes in the White Mountains and in Acadia National Park. Call me restless, but I love to seize everything life has to offer. A middle school teacher by day, I enthusiastically help my friends and family create itineraries and book stays for their vacations to Portugal, Azores and elsewhere. They always tell me - "Why not do this for a living?" I figured I might as well try.
