YOUR HOSTS
Claudia Ferreira
Hi, Im Claudia!
I’m all about exploring, whether it’s hiking in nature or chasing sunshine by the sea—anywhere warm and coastal is my happy place! Born in Portugal, I’ve always loved adventure and even hosted with More Life Adventures back in 2021.
I’m not a pro hiker—just someone who loves long walks, fresh air, and good vibes. I’m also a big dog lover, so getting outdoors is as much about connecting with nature as it is about enjoying time with furry friends.
When I’m not out on the trails, you’ll probably find me navigating the city from tube to tube for my group exercise instructor job. It’s all about balance: a little city life, a little nature, and a whole lot of sunshine whenever I can find it!
