Hello there! I'm Timur, and my passion for Portugal runs deep. I'm a dedicated wine and food lover, traveler, and adventurer, always eager to connect as both a good listener and an effective communicator. My greatest joys include exploring new cultures, mastering different languages, savoring delicious food and exceptional wines, and sharing these experiences with others. I'm genuinely curious and enjoy learning from my guests' life stories, ready to converse on a wide range of topics. With over 15 years in hospitality, I truly enjoy working with guests and am committed to taking their experience to the next level. I possess extensive knowledge of local food and drink culture, history, and winemaking. My background also includes strong marketing expertise and proficiency in multiple languages: Portuguese, English (TEFL certified), Spanish, Italian, and French. As a certified wine educator (WSET L2), I'm always ready to share my knowledge. I've also successfully completed a First Aid course. I live by the Japanese philosophy of 'ichigo ichie' – embracing and giving my best to each unique encounter, as if it were the only one. I look forward to meeting you! *TEFL certified. *WSET certified (wine education program). *+15 years work experience in hospitality. *First Aid course. *Degree in Languages. *Degree in Marketing. *Agency License nº8636. *Drivers License.
