Portugal-Led Travel, Designed With Intention

Thoughtful experiences across Europe and beyond.

Portugal is not a place you rush through, it’s a place you experience in layers.

I work with travelers who want more than a highlights list. Whether you’re planning a first visit to Portugal, returning to explore more deeply, or pairing Portugal with another European destination, I curate journeys that reflect your pace, values, and curiosity while quietly handling the details behind the scenes. I design slow, meaningful travel experiences rooted in Portugal and across Europe for travelers who value depth, culture, and ease over rushed itineraries.

My Services

I offer thoughtful, end-to-end travel planning designed to simplify the process and elevate the experience. Each journey is curated with care, clear communication, and trusted partnerships, so you can travel with ease and confidence.

  • Every journey begins with understanding how you want to travel.

    I take the time to learn your preferences, pace, priorities, and timing, then advise on destinations, accommodations, routing, and experiences that best suit your style. From there, I design a thoughtful framework for your trip, balancing logistics, flow, and meaningful moments so the journey feels cohesive rather than rushed.

  • Once the direction is set, I handle all reservations with care and precision.

    This includes accommodations, transportation, and curated experiences, coordinated through trusted partners and vetted providers. I manage the details behind the scenes to ensure everything aligns seamlessly with the overall plan, so you don’t have to juggle confirmations or logistics.

  • Before you depart, every element of your trip is reviewed and confirmed.

    I ensure dates, timing, and reservations are accurate, and provide guidance on travel requirements such as documentation, insurance considerations, and destination specific preparations. My goal is for you to feel informed, prepared, and at ease, knowing everything has been thoughtfully handled.

Hi!  I'm Christine,

I’m a travel advisor, business owner, and mother of two, with a deep respect for culture, place, and the way travel shapes how we see the world.

Portugal is where I’m most deeply rooted through heritage, long-standing relationships, and time spent on the ground. It’s a country I understand beyond guidebooks, from its quieter regions to the nuances that shape a meaningful journey. This foundation informs how I design travel not only in Portugal, but across Europe.

My background spans decades of global travel and entrepreneurship, which has shaped a thoughtful, flexible approach to planning. I anticipate challenges before they arise, adapt seamlessly when plans shift, and curate experiences with care, so my clients can travel with confidence and ease.

At Mogz Travels, I design Portugal-led journeys across Europe for travelers who value depth over haste, and intention over itineraries. Travel, at its best, isn’t about seeing more, it’s about experiencing more fully.
