This Portugal trip planning service is perfect for independent travelers who value freedom to explore on their own with just enough guidance from someone who truly knows Portugal, not someone who’s only visited a few times.

After 7 years of living here and getting lost in almost every corner of the country, I’ve learned what’s actually worth visiting from the must-see highlights to the local places I now take my friends and family to when they visit. I’m here to help you navigate this small but diverse country and map out a trip that really fits your travel style and interests, not just follow the generic Top 10 lists.

How it Works:

• First, tell me how you like to travel. Once you book our 1:1 Portugal Travel Consultation, I’ll send over a very short questionnaire to help me understand if you’re into museums and wine or mountains and river beaches, or all of the above, so I can come prepared and make the best use of our time together.

• Then we’ll grab a (virtual) coffee, or wine if you prefer. We’ll hop on a 45-minute video call to chat through your ideas and burning questions. You can ask me anything from “Where should we go for an authentic wine tasting in the Douro?” to "Is the Tram 28 really worth waiting in a long line?” We'll iron out logistics and narrow down the must-see spots for you and your crew.

• I’ll send you Navigation Notes. Within 48 hours after our chat, I’ll follow up with a personalized list of recommendations based on what we talked about.

• And I’m in your back pocket while you’re here. During your trip, you’ll have direct access to me on WhatsApp for those “Where’s the best place to grab a cocktail in this neighborhood?” or “We missed the train” moments. Think of me as your local emergency contact for last-minute recommendations for logistics help.
