Why These Cities?

I initially had my heart set on Lake Como and the Amalfi Coast, drawn in by their iconic beauty and charm. However, after researching accommodations and seeing that even basic rooms in the Amalfi Coast were starting at $1,000 per night, I realized the cost far outweighed the value, especially for a group trip. That led me to Plan B, Portugal which quickly began to feel more like Plan A. I’ve fallen in love with Lisbon and want others to experience its magic, from the vibrant neighborhoods and rich history to the incredible food and welcoming culture. Portugal offers so much more than just a capital city think scenic coastal towns, world-class wine regions like the Douro Valley, and a laid-back luxury that doesn’t break the bank. With its mix of affordability, authenticity, and adventure, Portugal is the go-to destination for a truly unforgettable experience.
