Olá! I'm Mayinka, your fun-loving host in the vibrant city of Porto. This city is a true gem, blending nature, art, and amazing vegetarian food. I adore swimming in the sea, skating along the scenic paths, dining in the city's best veggie spots, and catching live music at cool venues. Porto's artistic vibe is infectious, and I know all the neighborhoods inside out. From hidden vegetarian eateries to quirky second-hand shops, sports spots, beautiful nature retreats, art galleries, music venues, and historic sites, I'm your go-to person. Let's explore Porto's charming streets and create unforgettable memories together!

My reviews

    Mayinka was an absolute delight! Her love for Porto and knowledge of all the hidden gems made this experience one that would make anyone fall in love with Porto just as she did long ago. It’s wonderful to see Porto thru her eyes and go to places that support locals as well as artists too!
