About Us
The couple behind Soleil Roadtrip Portugal
Who is Soleil RoadTrip ? Laurene, from the island of Réunion, and Nilton, from Salvador de Bahia, Brazil.
“We arrived in Portugal at the same time, where our meeting sparked the beginning of a wonderful love story, deeply rooted in our new home country. Sharing a common passion for travel and discovery, we journey together, accompanied by our loyal four-legged friend, along the enchanted roads of Portugal’s west coast. From Lisbon to Nazaré, we find joy in exploring uncharted paths, in search of new vistas and breathtaking landscapes.Today, we are driven by the desire to share our findings and our unconditional love for Portugal with those who wish to experience this magnificent country from a different perspective, far from mass tourism and pre-arranged tours. Soleil RoadTrip stands for a unique way of traveling: taking the time to live, letting our desires guide us, and venturing off the beaten path, all while approaching the local culture with kindness, respect, and humility.
We have fallen in love with Portugal, its welcoming people, its rich culture, and its exquisite cuisine, and we find our joy in discovery and sharing. It is this passion that we aim to convey through our business. We hope you will find inspiration in our story.
So, are you ready to join us for an unforgettable adventure? At Soleil RoadTrip, we look forward to setting off together on the road.”
Our Values
We take the time to live, the time to love, and the time to enjoy. In Portugal, there is a pace of life that we love. Time stands still, take it. Breathe.
We strive to distance ourselves from mass tourism. Our hearts have been captured by the treasures of Portugal’s West coast, and we wish to share our favorites while respecting the territory. What we engage in is what’s known as slow tourism. We take our time, and if a place is too crowded, we choose another path. Sometimes, it’s not so much the destination that matters, but the journey itself. Along the roads, we love to stop spontaneously, get lost on small roads, and continually discover new wonders that Portugal has to offer. Of course, we are familiar with the must-see sites, and we would be delighted to guide you there. Trust us and let yourself be carried away for a day by our side.
