A little perspective

See how a plan comes together.

I studied in Portugal and have explored it from north to south. I enjoy the history, literature, and everyday details that give a place its character. We’ll bring in what interests you.

Before we begin

A few questions.

What parts of Portugal can you help with?

I’ve traveled throughout Portugal, especially Porto and the Algarve, and have family connections in Aveiro. Tell me your route and I’ll confirm whether it fits my experience. Food, history, literature, and time by the coast can all be part of the conversation.

Do you make the bookings?

You choose, book, and pay your travel providers directly. I help with the plan, recommendations, and useful links. Flights, hotels, meals, transport, and activities are additional to the planning fee. These services cover planning before departure and don’t include live emergency support.

Can we meet in New York?

The published services include a video conversation. If you’d prefer to meet in New York, mention it when you inquire. We’ll agree on the location, timing, and any additional fee beforehand.

What happens after I get in touch?

I’ll review your trip and reply personally about fit and availability. We’ll agree on the service, scope, delivery date, and terms before payment. Sending an inquiry doesn’t reserve a date or commit you to anything.
