The questions I ask before I book anything
- How are two names recorded on the booking, and does it matter to the person checking you in?
- How does the team respond when a couple holds hands at breakfast? Has it happened, or is it hypothetical?
- What happens if something goes wrong at 11pm, is there a person, or a phone tree?
- Who else is staying there? A hotel full of honeymooners is a different energy from a mixed week. Both are fine, I book for the right one.
The answers decide where I send you. I wrote about why I don’t use ‘LGBTQ+ friendly’ as a filter, these are the questions that actually matter.
Where I know the ground
I’ve travelled widely, and Portugal is where I know the ground best. I’ve been to Lisbon and the Algarve myself. Ask me and I’ll talk for twenty minutes. The guides below are written from research, and I’ll always tell you which places I know first-hand.
The destination guides
For the big occasions
The honest bit
- Some of the most beautiful places are the slowest to change. If a destination isn’t there yet, I’ll say so, and suggest the one that is.
- Your privacy is standard, not a special request. Every name, exactly as it should appear, on every booking, first time.
- Solo travellers are welcome here too. A trip planned for one is still planned properly.
How it works

One thread, looked after
Personally planned, carefully coordinated, and supported by me from our first conversation to your journey home. If anything changes, I change it.
However you travel, as a couple, a family, or on your own, it’s planned by one person who gets it. Start with a message.
