Michelle Machado

UX/UI Designer

Bio

I'm from the northeast of Brazil and I've always been curious, creative, fearless and an explorer by soul. Working as the UX/UI designer, I help Tourscanner to build a better user experience for travelers around the globe. I've worked leading and collaborating with projects to enhance the customer experience. Living as a digital nomad since 2022, I speak Portuguese, English and I would say I'm a basic in Italian. Now I'm based in Lisbon.

Travel background

My travel experiences began when I started to travel around the northeast of Brazil, some places around my city, Recife. But in 2015 I had the opportunity to be part of a scholarship program in Dublin and Cork, in Ireland. In that year I could explore 21 different countries and cultures aroud Europe, including a stop in the United States too. In 2022 I moved to Europe again and experienced life as a digital nomad, learned a new language and lived in 3 countries in 9 months. I've been to 22 countries and counting!

Best travel experiences

Every trip is unique and creates a special memory... But when living as a digital nomad I moved to Cyprus, and discovered a wonderful and underated travel destination. Together with my husband, we took a roadtrip throught the island and experienced breath taking landscapes, a new culture and visited facinating historical places, dating back over 2000 years. But I could say that the best experience is meeting new people and knowing different cultures.
