About Nomad Inspiration

Portugal, shared personally.

I’m André Antunes, a Lisbon-born private guide. I created Nomad Inspiration to help travelers discover Portugal with the comfort of a private journey and the warmth of a local welcome.

My story

From Alfama to every corner of Portugal

I was born in Alfama, Lisbon, and from an early age my teachers—especially my language teachers—said that one day I would work in tourism.

At university, I chose Political Science. It was an interesting course, but it did not spark the passion I was looking for. After working in different fields, an opportunity in tourism arrived unexpectedly and I immediately said yes.

I learned from some of Portugal’s best guides and began an adventure from the north to the south of the country. More than ten years later, I continue sharpening my knowledge and welcoming travelers who quickly become friends.

I share Portugal through Portuguese eyes, with love, attention to detail, comfort and all the flexibility possible.
