PORTUGAL TRIP PLANNING SERVICES
Plan a Portugal Trip With Help from a Local
That’s me checking out the Torre in Serra da Estrela, which is the highest point in mainland Portugal. These were radar towers used in the Cold War and most visitors miss sites like this. But don’t worry, I’m here to help point you in the right direction to discover the real Portugal. (See what I did there?!)
Not sure what to cut from your ever-growing list of places to see and things to eat in Portugal? Looking for quaint villages, and local cultural experiences but not sure where to start? Book a travel planning call with me!
I’ve been living in Portugal since 2018, exploring from north to south with my portuguese born-and-raised partner, Luis, and we love slow travel and getting lost on purpose. We currently live in a rural village in central Portugal and I started this project as a way to not only help people with their travel plans, but get them to the interior, so they can experience the real Portugal on their holidays.
So let me help chart your course and plan a trip to Portugal that is right for you and your interests, not the generic social media posts saturating the air-waves.

Get expert advice from a human who’s actually traveled the backroads of Portugal…more than once!
When you book a Portugal travel planning service with me, you get real advice from someone who has spent nearly a decade living in Portugal with a born and raised Portuguese partner.
I’m not some creator who spent a weekend in Lisbon and thinks they’re an expert. I spend my weekends exploring the backroads of Portugal, and often visit at different times of the year to experience the many cultural events, food festivals, and seasonal activities on offer like throwing snowballs in the Serra da Estrela mountains. As much as I love exploring new places, I love revisting them too. You get to peel back another layer and really get to know the true vibe and all the best, local spots to go - now I can pass those insights onto you!
Plus, I’m also a certified portuguese wine specialist and have my WSET level 2 ward in wines. Not to brag, but I’ve got some serious local inside scoop and street cred compared to other Portugal travel planners out there.
