I’m very excited to share with you my participation in a new series for the Experience Transat website by Air Transat, a holiday travel airline based in Canada, where I get to talk about my new home base: Porto!
As an expat Canadian living in one of Air Transat’s European destination cities, I was invited to share my insider knowledge of Porto with other Canadians. They asked me to choose my three favourite spots here and write about them, and another three spots which we could film — these are places which you won’t find in most (if any) guidebooks. The biggest challenge was to decide which spots to show — I have so many, and by publishing time I will have more! How on earth do I narrow down my list??
I managed to complete everything just a few days before our anniversary trip, and my first article was published on the website last week. Click on the image to head straight to the article:
My first article as a #TransatExpertExpat is up!

More of my articles will be rolling out over the next weeks, PLUS the video interview that was filmed last month in Porto. I’ve seen the first draft, and once the shock of seeing myself on a screen wore off, I was able to relax and enjoy it… :) As someone who is always behind the camera, I can tell you only my passion for Porto could get me in front of the camera!
You can find my bio here, and under that the links to my articles (and upcoming video):
