RASA TRAVEL MEMORIES - PERSONALISED
WALKING TOURS AND WHY I STARTED
Hi, I'm Rasa, a wanderer from Santaka, Lithuania. My love for solo travel started when I found myself without travel companions. Embracing the freedom, I discovered a passion for exploring and self-discovery. This led me to dream of leading walking tours in Porto.
Despite challenges, including a mismatch of my studies with travel agency work, I pursued my passion. During quarantine in London, I studied sustainable tourism and travel management online. In 2022, I moved to Portugal, feeling an inexplicable call to Porto.
Determined to turn my dream into reality, I planned and saved, offering free tours to friends and their acquaintances. Their gratitude fuelled my passion. Now, I'm excited to launch my walking tours in Porto, eager to share the city's magic and create unforgettable memories with fellow travellers.
“FEEL AS IF A FRIEND IS SHOWING YOU AROUND”—that's my promise. I aim to make you feel welcomed, guided, and cared for, like being embraced by a local friend.
In addition to walking tours, I also offer personalised travel plans. With extensive solo travel experience, I understand the complexities of planning and can help create detailed itineraries to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey. In this tapestry of growth and shared knowledge, I promise exceptional memories.
