About Ariana Magalhaes

I found early in my life that travelling and meeting new cultures is one of the best things one can do! During my travels around the world, I was able to see some of the most beautiful places on Earth, to learn fascinating angles of their history, and to taste amazing exotic foods. But in the end, it was always the human aspect of travelling that touched me the most. A simple welcoming smile, in the middle of nowhere, can bring the warmth and the cosiness of one's home. Human bonding overtakes any language barriers, and it is ultimately the single most rewarding life experience. Hosting, in particular, is a subtle art that requires a heartful attitude and putting love in all the details. I feel privileged to be hosting you in my hometown, and I do hope that you can appreciate the charm and tranquility of my apartments. Enjoy your stay in Porto!
