Our story
A northern accent, the soul of a whole country
We're Portuguese, with a northern accent and the soul of a whole country: small on the map, vast in colour, flavour and light.
Travel has been our life for over twelve years. First we designed luxury and nature journeys, down to the last detail. Then we helped destinations and hotels get found by the people looking for exactly what they offer. We know travel from the inside: what truly enchants, and what's just for show.
We're demanding, and we love the good life. That's why there's one rule we never break: everything you read here, we've lived ourselves. Every hotel, every table, every sunrise viewpoint. If it's on OTT, it was worth it.

Lived, never borrowed
Every hotel, table and viewpoint on OTT was experienced first-hand. If it is here, it was worth it.

Hi, I’m Magda
I’m Magda Santos, and most of the stories on OTT pass through my hands. Many of these trips are family trips, with my daughter.
My big move started in Ireland, where I lived for a year. Since then I’ve been to more countries than I can count, and I’ve never stopped packing.
I have a degree in Communication Sciences and a master’s in Digital Marketing, and I’m a certified trainer (CCP) and lecturer. For eight years, I was the Swiss army knife of an incoming tour operator, doing a bit of everything across wine, luxury and food trips, as well as hiking and cycling tours. Since then, I’ve worked with major clients in the tourism industry.
I speak Portuguese, English and Spanish. Japanese is coming along on the move, and French is on stand-by, but not for long.
A fun fact about me: I’m terrified of flying, but I live to travel. And so far, the urge to go has always won over the fear.
