Gil Ribeiro

Gil Ribeiro  (aka Holger Karsten Schmidt), born in 1965, ended up on the Algarve completely by chance during an Interrail journey across Europe in 1988 and immediately fell in love with the warmth and hospitality of the Portuguese. Ever since, he has found himself drawn back time and again to the small city of Fuseta on the eastern Algarve, which is where he got the idea for  Lost in Fuseta . Rights to the series have been sold to Czechia, Portugal and Spain.
