My Porto video for Air Transat is online!
If you’re travelling to Porto, get the inside track from a local: me. I’ll take you across the Douro River to a fishing village in a small boat with a fantastic view, I’ll show you where the fish is fresh and grilled to order, and even where to buy fish if you want to grill it yourself. I’ll also give you the scoop on where to wind down after a day of sightseeing and exploring: a tea house with a menu so large the teas are sorted by region.
