That’s me checking out the Torre in Serra da Estrela, which is the highest point in mainland Portugal. Radar towers used in the Cold War, most visitors miss sites like this, but I’m here to help you discover the real Portugal.
Portugal trip planning for independent travelers who want the freedom to explore on their own, with just enough guidance from someone who’s been living here since 2018.
Sometimes you don’t need help with a full itinerary. You just need to bounce some ideas off someone to see if your plan makes sense or what to cut from the ever growing list of places to see and things to eat.
I’ve been living in Portugal since 2018, spending my time exploring from north to south, often getting lost on purpose. Over the years, I’ve figured out what’s truly worth your time and not just follow another Top 10 list.
How it Works:
Start with a quick intro
Once you book your 1:1 Portugal travel consultation, I’ll send over a short questionnaire to get a feel for your travel style and what you’d like to experience.
Then we talk it through
We’ll hop on a 45-minute video call and go over your ideas, rough plans, or questions. Whether you’re deciding between cities, looking for great food and wine, or trying to figure out what’s actually worth the detour, we’ll sort it out together.
After the call
Within 48 hours, I’ll send you my signature Navigation Notes with personalized recommendations, plus a few extra tips to help you along the way.
While you’re here
Once you’re in Portugal, I’m in your back pocket on WhatsApp for those moments when plans shift or you need a quick recommendation from someone local. Think of me as your local concierge.
What does it cost?
$45 for a 45-minute call - that’s it!
Between you and me, a lot of travel consults are overpriced… and often led by someone who’s visited a few times or just arrived and decided they’re an expert.
With me, you’ll get real advice from someone who’s been living here for almost a decade with my Portuguese partner. Not an AI bot. Not a scripted travel agent.
I genuinely love helping people figure out their travel plans, and a quick chat with solid, practical advice shouldn’t cost a fortune. Save that extra money for a glass of wine…on me :)
