About Marlene
I'm a passionate writer and surfer from Ericeira, a World Surfing Reserve near Lisbon, Portugal. With 20+ years of journalistic experience, I explore and tell stories from beautiful coastal destinations in Portugal's Center and Alentejo regions and the stunning islands of Azores and Madeira. You know, those hidden gems that make your heart skip a beat.
Beyond Portugal, my love for travel has taken me on adventures around the world. Indonesia, Maldives, Sri Lanka and Morocco are just a few countries I hold dear. When I'm not writing or chasing waves, I guide fellow travel enthusiasts and curious souls through some of those captivating destinations.
