Meet Chasing Gambozinos

The two boundless explorers who, in 2022, decided to put their love for traveling into words and created Chasing Gambozinos. Born in Portugal (Andreia) and Spain (Eneas), it was in the Netherlands that we took the leap of faith to leave all behind with a one way ticket in hand.

Hi! We are Andreia and Eneas

This travel blog was born from our desire to demystify beautiful destinations around the world, providing honest travel guides that allow people not only to travel more easily but also more responsibly.

A glass-half-full kind of human who regularly uses weird noises as a communication tool, unapologetically passionate about life, an adrenaline junkie, often loses control over facial expressions, a window-seater, a part-time foodie and horror movie fangirl, who eats cilantro and loves photography and cinematic videography.

Chill to a superhuman level, undercover foodie, tuk tuk licensed driver, loves manga and mangoes; there ain’t no transportation that will stop him from sleeping; middle seater (not by choice, just to support Andreia’s brick-heavy head😅), believes anything goes with tuna, and cares about the drone as if it were his child.

The name “Chasing Gambozinos”

Our minds rumbled a bit until we landed on a name we liked. To be honest, some of the ideas we had are now straight-up embarrassing. One day, the word “Gambozinos” came to mind, and we could not let it go!

Gambozinos

[gam.bo.zi.nos] Portuguese
(n.) Beings who, according to popular superstition, live in nature, although some species have adapted to live in the city. They are very hard to find and catch. Their look varies according to the imagination of each one.

The art of chasing gambozinos was invented by desperate parents that needed a way to distract their children for a while. To this day, in Portugal and Spain, kids are sent on this never-ending quest, searching for a creature that exists only in their imagination – but they don’t know that.

That chase for the unknown, the sense of adventure, and the excitement for what is yet to come are what define us. So, step off the beaten path with us and let’s chase the next Gambozino.
