our story
We felt it too
We’re expats, and we’ve found that finding good service providers in a new place isn’t easy. Back home we had a strong network, but here, we face challenges like language barriers and cultural differences. It’s frustrating to keep facing disappointments, despite reaching out for help within the expat community. Often, a single recommendation isn’t enough.
Born in the vibrant and multicultural city of Lisbon, Locallista aims to be the go-to tool for the expats worldwide. We’re building a trusted platform of tailored recommendations that empower us to make the right choices, while ensuring support when things don’t go as expected in a new cultural environment.
