Jorge Bastos

I'm Jorge, northern portuguese but passionate about discovering everything this country has to offer. I live to uncover unforgettable trails and to find that meal that makes every kilometer worth it. For me, every adventure has two essential ingredients: incredible landscapes and memorable food. Gerês National Park is my favorite refuge, where I feel at home among mountains, waterfalls and valleys. When I'm not exploring the north of Portugal or discovering the best local dishes, I share everything on "Portugal Things" so you can see the more authentic and lesser-known side of our country. But the adventures don't stop there. When I want to broaden my horizons, I explore the world beyond and share those stories on our other site, "Travel Drafts." Whether in Portugal or abroad, I'm always on the lookout for new discoveries and, of course, a great meal to top off the day.
