Who Created This Travel Planner?

Hi, I’m Marga!

I’ve worked in the travel industry for years, from tourism and aviation to helping travellers plan meaningful trips across Portugal. After visiting nearly 70 countries and settling in Lisbon in 2021, I’ve learned exactly what travellers need to feel confident, organised, and inspired.

Through my blog, Discover Portugal, I help thousands of visitors each month navigate destinations, hidden gems, and the practical details that make a trip run smoothly. My work as a vacation photographer also gives me daily insight into how people travel and where they get overwhelmed.

The planning system I’ve created is the one I use for my own adventures and with my clients: simple, clear, and designed to make every trip easier from start to finish. I will gladly help you create an unforgettable trip!
