About me
“I was born in Lisbon but spent most of my childhood on a farm in the north of Portugal. After studying management at university I worked in several areas, but it was in education and teaching where I made my career.
Travel and trekking in Vietnam, Petra, and Europe re-lit the pleasure of the outdoors. Mountains sports, the summits, the climbing, became little by little an escape and a true passion. The birth of my third child made me face the priorities of life differently. Thus was born Walk Hike Portugal, part of my life story, first for family and friends and now for all those who might be seduced by the beautiful and mysterious Sintra-Cascais Natural Park”.
Teresa is the mentor of this project, reflecting her passion for walk and hiking activities. In her curriculum are some of the summits of the Pyrenees, Sierra de Gredos, and the Alps, in addition to the major mountains and national parks of Portugal, including the Azores Peak, Portugal’s highest mountain. She is a partner and professional guide at Walk and Hike Portugal. Her knowledge of the history, secrets, and mysteries of Sintra, turn every walk into a trip into the past.
