Share a few preferences, and I’ll shape a calm, tailored route from first coffee to final sunset view.

About
I’m Dmitri, 37, and for the past three-plus years Porto has been home — not all at once, but through long walks, neighborhood cafés, and quiet corners that only reveal themselves when you stop rushing.
After living in four countries, visiting more than twenty, and spending over a decade in digital marketing, I learned to notice the small signals that make a place feel real. Here, I kept following that instinct — through old and new streets, local habits, and everyday details that rarely make it into guidebooks.
These days I move naturally between local and expat worlds, and I like sharing Porto with people who see cities in a similar way — slowly, with curiosity, and with space to let the day unfold.
It’s donation-based — no fixed fee, just a contribution that feels fair to you afterward.
I only do around 12 days like this per year.
What this day includes
A route designed around you

Seeing the city differently
Not just where to go, but how to notice — light, details, and the small things that make Porto feel alive.
Slow coffee or wine moments
Unhurried pauses in places chosen for atmosphere, not just convenience.
Hidden viewpoints and quiet streets
Corners of Porto where the city feels intimate, calm, and naturally cinematic.
A local perspective, naturally shared
No lectures — just observations, context, and moments that come up along the way.
Optional follow-up list of places we visited
After the day, I can share a concise list so you can revisit what resonated most.

One of those rare experiences that stays with you — not because of what you see, but how you see it.
