Your trip, planned for you

You've chosen your destination — now comes the hard part.

Thousands of articles, videos, maps and recommendations are only a click away. But none of them know what you enjoy, how you like to travel, or what matters most to your group.

 

This is where Travel Planning comes in.

 

Instead of piecing everything together yourself, you receive a personalised travel plan built around your destination, travel style and priorities.

 

Typical questions clients come to me with include:

 

  • "We have 12 days and want to see Rome, Florence and Naples, but we'd love help connecting everything into a great trip."
  • "We want to go hiking on the Ligurian Coast. Can you build an itinerary around our main interests?"
  • "We know where we're going, but have no idea what to do once we're there."
  • "We're travelling to Algarve with children and want a trip that feels realistic and enjoyable for the whole family."
  •  

I live in Portugal and have spent extended time travelling across Italy. I've seen the same mistakes again and again: unrealistic pacing, inefficient routes, and travellers overwhelmed by too many options.

My role is simple: turn your ideas into an unforgettable trip that actually works .

SAMPLE ITINERARY

What a custom travel plan looks like

This shows an example of a custom travel plan I created for a 3-day coastal trip in Liguria (Italy), tailored to the traveler’s style, pace, and interests.

This is an example of a Popeye plan created for a client with a strong focus on hiking and coastal walking routes. The structure and level of detail are adapted to that specific travel style.
This example gives you an idea of the structure, level of detail and style you can expect from a personalised travel plan.

How it works

Booking a travel plan is simple.

After booking, you'll receive a short questionnaire to help me understand your destination, travel style and priorities. Depending on the package, I may follow up with a few clarification questions before creating your personalised travel plan.

Once completed, you'll receive your plan as a digital PDF guide, ready to use and adapt as you wish.
