Catarina

lisbon city guide catarina

Raised in a mix of Lisbon life and Portuguese countryside, Catarina became a fusion of both: an urban dancer and a biologist. It’s very common to see her looking up and down at every little detail of the city and for any animal or plant, as she goes around every neighborhood of Lisbon.
It’s also very easy to spot her, since recently her hair turned very mermaid-like. As a history lover and a proclaimed geek, she always has an interesting fact to tell to whoever listens, and so, being a guide, she gets to share some knowledge and her deep love for Lisbon and its urban, artistic and natural wonders.
Catarina has always travelled a lot, seen 3 different continents, and danced in Europe and India, but it’s true that there is no place quite like Lisbon. This is the magic she hopes to transmit to its every visitor.

Sean

sean-city-guide-paris

With a name like “ Sean ” it’s difficult to pretend you’re a pure born and bred Parisian. Born in Chicago, Sean arrived in France when he was 6 years old. At school he was regularly called “Jean”, because the french just couldn’t pronounce his name correctly !

Living on the eastern slopes of Montmartre, Sean studied film in Paris, and works as a technician on movie sets. And a part from being a movie buff, he’s also passionate about history and will love to tell you all about the secrets of the city of lights.
As far as hobbies goes, he’s in a theatre group in English, and he definitely uses that for his tours : as an entertainment, first and foremost !
He might not be a Parisian by birth, but he sure is one by adoption. He’s at home here, with such a wonderful access to culture, movies, music and art, which he’ll tell you all about with enthusiasm.

Going back to the states ? Not likely. Sean would miss the food too much ! He just can’t live anymore without his baguette, red wine and cheese !

Astrid

astrid city guide paris

“Astrid is a true “Parisienne” ! She was raised in the 15th arrondissement a neighborhood at the foot of the Eiffel tower. (When she was a kid, she liked to think that the Eiffel Tower was dedicated to her, knowing the shape looks like a big “A”…). After finishing her scholarship at the Bilingual School of Paris, she finally managed to move in a much more central neighborhood : So-Pi (meaning South Pigalle… ) a new trendy area where you can discover many restaurants and cocktail bars with free-gluten food and organic wine !!
For a long time she actually didn’t like Paris because as a tomboy, she thought it was too pretty and not wild enough. But then she became passionate about Art History that she studied at the Sorbonne, and she realized at what point she was lucky to come from a city with so many museums and historical monuments ! Now, her goal in life is to pass on her love of culture and arts in Paris, either by guiding or by filming ! “
