17- Solutions for over tourism in Portugal
How can we visit Portugal in a more sustainable way? Today's guest is the portages Marta Domingues, a founder of eco-projects and a biodiversity activist.
Marta explains the problems she faces on a daily basis living in Portugal. Over tourism caused her not to visit Lisbon anymore, taking the bus can take a long time, visiting beautiful beaches with her kids became a 3-hour-queue experience by car... But all of those negatives make room for positive solutions.
How can we do eco travel in Portugal? Take the bicycle, visit locals, support communities, find small businesses to do your activities.. Marta shares very valuable information on how to find these activities and inspires you thanks to a great amount of examples.
You'll get inspired, listen to stories and get lots of useful tips!
TOPICS DISCUSSED:
• Background of Marta Domingues
• Public transport in Portugal
• Portuguese intercity busses vs trains
• Impact of over tourism on housing prices in Portugal
• How to find sustainable travel alternatives
• How to find great activities via Facebook, TripAdvisor and Google Maps

    Superfast is the superior choice for sure, So avoid Ventouris ships like the plague !!! here's why. Ventouris ships now resembles a camping expedition! Most passengers take inflatable air beds, sleeping bags, pillows and even igloo style tents, the air beds are everywhere, the tents around the decks, it becomes impossible to walk around them, and the stewards/staff don’t even attempt to discourage this phenomenon, even though according to Ventouris’s own regulations, it is not allowed for anyone to sleep in the lounges, bars and corridors. The passengers, lots with young children where sleeping in corridors, under the main staircase, in the bars, I have never experienced anything like it, the smell of foot odour (people took of there footwear) is not pleasant, I even witnessed dog owners (who don’t want to pay for the kennel facility) are taking their pets around the decks for their toilet needs during the 17 hour crossing, and also taking them into the Aircraft Seat area, Lots of the occupiers don’t even bother to buy tickets for the airline seats, I arrived at my seat number to find it in use by a passenger who wouldn’t move, even after a steward reluctantly came to assist me, was unsuccessful in evicting the Albanian lady, so I was advised to sit in any vacant seat, outrageous. I will definitely not use this Bari, Corfu, Igoumenitsa, Sami service or this company ever again.

I check my brakes and tires quite often because of traveling by bicycle, maybe that helps to have a general check-up once in a while, because these things could happen on any bicycle I guess.. In worst case, jump of your bicycle and lift the back of it, because that's the part that's being pushed electrically. Hope you didn't experience that again after one time! :)

    Hello, I'm traveling solo with my young child in Germany next year. We don't speak German and so I'd be interested in the Silver Status just so we have more support when traveling next summer. Is it possible to buy the silver status without points? Access to lounge would make the chaos of traveling with a child a lot easier, I think. I know you can buy access with the first class tickets, but to have priority status for assistance would be an excellent help while we're there.

    • @ClaraFrancken

      Hi, I totally get your question, but it's a program designed for people who spend a lot of money on German tickets. Basically if you buy lots of tickets/spend a lot of money on it, you'll get to that level. I have never heard of buying the silver status.. But maybe 1st class also has advantages in having a priority status, you could write the railway to ask them? Also, with a 1st class ticket, you'll have access to the lounge which I find incredibly helpful! Have a wonderful day!! Where in Germany will you be traveling?

    If I ever go to the Philippines from the Seattle port, I believe that is the way I would like to go, fathoming that I could bring a lot more baggage, even a small cargo box, thinking to retire there. It is almost like hitching a ride. I wonder how to communicate, and deal with the freighters that make such offerings? Might even be a way to take a round trip to the same place just to check out everything first. A Kindle reader, some books, and a fold-able reading chair that accommodates a cup. I am surprised it is not more popular, but not surprised with people wanting to rush everywhere with convenience.
