About me
Outgoing South African professional and local creator with a passion for fine dining, events, and Lisbon’s hidden gems. Whether you need a sharp plus-one for a gala or a friendly insider for a social run, I help you navigate the city’s social scene so you never walk into a room alone. Before making Cascais my home, I was based in London and Malta.
A day with me includes
The Complete Lisbon Insider: From Sunrise Runs to Street Art & Sundowner Dinners
Whether you are looking to fill a few hours or want a full day of local immersion, we can tailor the perfect Lisbon itinerary.
We can kick the day off with an energizing social sunrise run along the Tagus River or the beautiful Cascais Promenade, followed by a premium "executive coffee" to talk business and life.
Later, we can take a relaxed stroll through the city's vibrant neighborhoods to explore the local street art and creative scene.
As evening sets in, I will be your exclusive local plus-one. We can start with sundowner cocktails at a hidden rooftop bar with incredible views, and finish with a fantastic dinner at a curated local spot.
Expect great food, seamless social navigation, and engaging conversation from start to finish!

TipSport & Outdoors
Sunday Social Shufflers
Every Sunday morning at 8am a group of expats get together for a social 5km run along the Cascais Promenade, followed by a coffee and pastel de nata afterwards. -
TipPhotography & Views
Quiet off the beaten track for photos
Beautiful spot to enjoy the sunset, just bring your own drinks there is a table and it is usually very quiet. -
TipEat & Drink
Amazing spot for lunch/sundowner drinks
After visiting Cabo da Roca (most western point of the European continent), stop at this spot. There is usually a queue, but it moves and the views & food are really worth the time.
