Why on earth do the Portuguese always have that smile stuck on their face? That smile hides a lot… But where does it come from?
Is it the sun, shining all year round? The mild weather that never bites? That gentle warmth that stirs emotions and a crisp chill that wakes you up in all the right places.
Is it from having the sea as our next-door neighbour? That vast ocean of salt and history hugging the country and offering everything and then some? Endless beaches, Portuguese soul, the richness that truly matters, and soooo much good vibe.
Is it the food? Or is it the landscapes and nature?
We know exactly where that smile comes from!
Born and raised in Portugal, we’re proud children of the Portuguese good vibes.
With an easy, genuine smile, it’s in our DNA to show off the best our country has to offer and welcome anyone who wants to discover it.
The older folks call it hospitality. But we prefer to call it BUDDYSMO®!
Almost like a religion, but without the boring bits, BUDDYSMO® is that innate Portuguese gift for living life with a smile and welcoming visitors with open arms and a generous heart.
It’s that warm feeling that wraps around your soul like a hand-stitched wool sweater.
It’s the art of hosting, making you feel like one of us, and taking you by the hand to show you the best we’ve got.
No offense to other countries, but we’re absolutely sure of this, and there’s even scientific evidence to prove it:
Our mission is to take BUDDYSMO® beyond borders and spread Portuguese good vibes across the globe.
You’ll finally understand the meaning of the word SAUDADE!
But we’ll always have a cheeky smile in the corner of our mouth because we know that once you discover Portugal (and the world) with us, you’ll definitely come back.
We are The Portuguese Buddy, or better yet, Your Portuguese Buddy, and we’ve got the perfect plan to give you a happy, truly Portuguese journey.
