About me

 

Hi, I'm Adão,

I was born and raised in Lisbon, and over the years, I’ve explored every corner of Portugal—from the peaceful villages of the Alentejo to quiet and uncrowded surf spots in the south of Portugal.

I know that planning a trip to Portugal should be exciting - not exhausting! But if you've ever found yourself with 25 tabs open, comparing lists of “best places to visit in Portugal” or “hidden gems in Lisbon,” you know how overwhelming it can get.

That’s why I created MyPortugalTrip.com - to give you a local’s perspective, without the guesswork.

 

Why MyPortugalTrip.com

Let’s be real - Google is flooded with “hidden gems” in Portugal that aren’t so hidden anymore. Travel blogs contradict each other, and trip-planning sites send you to the same overhyped, tourist-packed spots.

I get it - I’ve been through it myself. As a traveler (and a dad who’s experienced meltdowns in all the wrong places! 😅), I know that every detail matters. A bad recommendation can ruin your day. A well-timed tip can make your trip.

That’s where I come in - to save you time and help you experience Portugal the way locals do.

More Than a Plan!

✔️ Skip the Research Black Hole - I’ll create a custom itinerary based on what matters to you. No generic checklists.

✔️ Local Picks, Not Sponsored Suggestions - Every recommendation is based on my personal experience. I don’t work with affiliate marketing, commissions, or paid promotions - if I suggest it, it’s because I’d take my own family and friends there.

✔️ Backup Plans, Always - Train delayed? Weather change? My itineraries include Plan B options so you’re never stuck.

✔️ Real-Time Support - Need an extra tip? I’ll be available via WhatsApp. No bots, just a guy in Lisbon who knows his way around.

Whether you’re looking for a complete itinerary or just need a check-up for a trip you’ve already planned, I’m here to make sure your journey is smooth, memorable, and uniquely yours. No matter how long your stay, I will help you make the most of your time and ensure that your experience in Portugal is truly unforgettable. 😀
