Who we are?
Hello, I am Sam Wouters and the owner of Voyageiro.eu. I am a passionate travel lover. I like to discover new cultures and learn from others. This is the ideal way to enrich your mind and for self-reflection. It also allows you to introduce new things in your own life and grow further as a human in the world.
Share with others
Aside of this, I also like to give to others, share my experiences. Because it feels so good to be able to share something from yourself with others, connect with people. That is the reason why I started with my travel blogs and digital travel content accounts.
What is Voyageiro?
With my background in technology, social media and audio, I created Voyageiro.eu as a platform where passion meets tourism. Here, I share personal insights, experiences, hidden gems and useful tips for travellers who want more than only the typical tourist basics. You'll find personalised guides to European cities, yearly festivals and events, unique places to stay during your journey, guided tours, videos and podcasts. All created to help you experience Europe at your own pace and through authentic travel.
Voyageiro as a contraction
Voyageiro also is a contraction of a lot of words: "voyage", "voyager", "voyageur", "viagem" and the Portuguese way to indicate a person who indicates a profession (-eiro). The reason we made a link to French and Portuguese words and the Romance languages is because our inspiration started after my first journey to Lisbon. Because, it was there that I made the switch to a different way of travelling.
How did we start?
Voyageiro was born from a deep passion to discover Europe in a more personal way, as close as possible to the local culture. My journey started in Lisbon, Portugal. The Portuguese city of natural light at the mouth of the Tagus river that captured my heart. With a result that this forever changed the way I travel. I immersed myself in the lively culture, the rich history and the warm welcoming mindset of the Portuguese people. So, I felt a strong connection with my personality: my inner voyager awoke.
Expand with other countries
Lisbon didn't just inspired me, it transformed me. I began to understand travel and journeys are not just making trips and go to somewhere else, to see something different. But travel is discovery, connection with other cultures, learn from another culture and storytelling. Which made it possible for self-reflection and see your own culture, your own habits from another side, a different perspective. You can see it the same way like the Portuguese explorers set their sail to uncover the world. In that same open mindset to the world, I felt the urge to discover Europe, the continent where I live and which is my roots. Discovering with a lot of curiosity and respect for the local culture, local habits. Not the way to support mass tourism. But to support the charm of how the locals live. And of course, also to share my personal experiences of those journeys with others. Share with travellers who don't are into mass tourism, but like the charm of a local community. Travellers who like to know the local habits to travel more as a local. For travellers who like to travel with passion through Europe.
What is our goal?
Voyageiro is for those travellers who travel not only to see, but to feel. For people who want to understand the rhythm of a European city or charming location, taste its flavours, walk through its history and meet its soul. From well-known landmarks to lesser-known stories and spots. This is travelling that touches you. Voyageiro is travel with passion, in a way that you also can discover and travel with passion to experience other facets as a tourist. We support you to come out of the traditional tourist areas, discover hidden gems by yourself at your own pace and ways to feel more like a local when you discover a city, a country or a region.
Enjoy your time and happy travel vibes

Discover and travel with passion.
Sam Wouters,
