Rooted in Portugal
A slower, more intentional approach to travel, shaped in Portugal and applied across Europe and select destinations worldwide.
My Approach
I approach travel planning as both a guide and an advocate, helping clients navigate choices with clarity and confidence. From destination selection to pacing and logistics, each journey is designed with intention, flexibility, and care.
Portugal is where I’m most deeply rooted, and it informs how I think about travel everywhere slower, more present, and grounded in place.
My Story
My perspective on travel was shaped early, during a formative trip to Europe my parents made possible when I was in eighth grade. It was a significant sacrifice for them, one they worked hard to afford, because they believed deeply in experiencing the world beyond what we knew.
We traveled at a fast pace, moving from city to city, yet I remember every moment vividly, especially the early mornings and long days shared with my grandmother. Despite the pace, the trip was filled with curiosity, presence, and joy, and it taught me that
travel’s impact isn’t measured by how slowly you move, but by how fully you engage. Over time, travel became both a passion and a teacher, shaping how I adapt, observe, and find meaning in unfamiliar places. I’ve learned that the most lasting travel memories are often shaped in the quiet, unplanned moments, not the obvious ones.
Today, that philosophy guides how I design journeys for my clients. Rooted in curiosity, care, and thoughtful pacing, I help travelers experience places more fully with confidence, ease, and a deeper sense of connection.
