MEET THE AUTHOR
I’m Jorah Beckett, a British travel writer and the heart behind Lisbonly.co.uk. Lisbon stole my heart during a solo trip in 2017, and now I split my time between Brighton and my favourite city. I write to help UK travellers discover the city’s hidden corners and everyday magic. Life with my wife and two kids is busy, fun, and full of stories worth sharing. When I’m not writing, I’m usually out exploring or enjoying a proper espresso in a cosy café.
