We met in 2014 dancing at a folk music festival (Andanças), and we hate to be cheesy, but the truth is that we fell in love at first dance. After Zoé finished her PhD in 2018 we took a gap year to travel and that’s why we joined CS. 2019 we are back in Lisbon and available to meet great travelers with awesome hearts and nice stories to share. 2022 we moved to the Lisbon southbank and now living in Cacilhas - 10 min from Lisbon city center with the boat.

音乐、电影和书籍

A bit of everything. From "Notting Hill" to "Butterfly effect" passing by "Moulin Rouge" and Disney! A captivating story is always a good read but the 4 hours work week is one of Rubens favorite.
