David Monteiro - about me

Who is David Monteiro?

Well well, this is  the moment to speak about myself and that is quite a task.
Talking about myself is rrreeaaalllllyy boring but this will be the only way you will get to know the guy behind the scenes.
What a glorious day was the 16th May 1965 … oh oh, what a glorious day :) in São Vicente, Cape Verde, this guy was born eheheeh    Let me drive you until Mindelo, the capital city from São Vicente.
At that time Cape Verde was a Portuguese colony and it became independent in 1975.
I live in Portugal since I was 4 years old and my closest family is also here. Anyway I keep a strong relation with Cap Verde where my sisters are still living and where my roots are.
I would looooove to say that since I was a boy I wanted to became a Tour Leader, that was perfect for this article, however that couldn’t be less true. In fact, when I was a kid I was not too much dedicated to sports … I was more of a XL boy :) only later, when I was around 12 I started with sports and that changed everything.
Nevertheless, since the beginning of my professional life I had nothing to do with outdoors … I was a Financial Controller in an insurance company and later I became Head of Finance in a pharmaceutical company.
I kept my passion for the outdoors since my Boy Scouts. In time that passion was growing and started to be more serious.
Making a long story short, after a few years I get tired of working with numbers and business plans and I realize that my hobby was shifting to my professional life and I decided to embrace it and here I’m since 2005.
Oh boy … since 2005 many things happened, many different tours was necessary until I realize what I really wanted to do and where I wanted to do it. From mountain hiking to ice climbing I did it all.
Today I lead active vacations and cultural tours in Portugal and Spain and that is the main subject of this blog.
For me, Touring is more then a professional activity but a way of living. Showing to my guests our culture, our way of living, the food, wine and History gives me much pleasure.
The tours are designed to provide you wonderful vacation times and that is my main goal.
