Let's Plan Your Dream Trip, Y'all!

When you want real advice from someone who's been around the world...

Here's the thing about trip planning: the internet has given us too much information and somehow zero answers. Every "best restaurants in Lisbon" list has the same 5 tired photos, and every itinerary blog reads like it was written by someone who's visited once, for a long weekend, with a sponsorship. (No, you do not need to ride the 28 Tram!)

I spent 5 years traveling full-time. I've eaten my way through more than 60 countries, made every rookie mistake so you don't have to, and I've lived in Lisbon since 2021. My travel superpowers include reading between the lines of every travel review, obsessively researching hidden gems you won't find on TikTok, and spreadsheeting every little detail before traveling, so the actual vacation is 100% fun (with no "what do you feel like for dinner?").

So let's hop on a call, and I'll help you turn your "ummm, I guess we'll figure it out" trip into a plan you're actually excited about.

Howdy, g'day, olá! I'm Brittany!

A born-and-raised Texan who booked a one-way trip in 2015 and never looked back. I backpacked, worked, and wandered full-time for 5 years, lived in New Zealand and Australia long enough to pick up the slang, befriend the tourism boards, and work at a luxury travel agency. Now, I call Lisbon home.

I started The Sweet Wanderlust to share my journey, but my DMs are full of people asking for personalized advice that goes beyond my blog posts. So, this is where I get to do the fun, nerdy part: help YOU build a trip that actually fits your life, your budget, and your idea of a good time (whether that's Michelin stars or a literal hole-in-the-wall serving wine).

Why hire a travel consultant?

There's a lot of information out there, and only so many hours in the day. Travel should be fun... Whether you're headed to Lisbon, hopping around Europe, planning a trip Down Under, or plotting a full-blown career break like mine, I can help you keep the fun in your travel planning.

Count on me to help you:

  • Build your itinerary from scratch — day by day, city by city
  • Sanity-check your draft itinerary (so you're not accidentally spending 4 hours getting between two towns that are 20 minutes apart)
  • Talk through logistics — trains, flights, how many days is actually enough
  • Play favorites — the restaurants, viewpoints, and hidden gems I'd send my own family to
  • Save you a truly unhinged number of hours of Googling and rabbit-holing on TikTok
  • Talk you off the ledge of decision fatigue and get you excited again (because travel is supposed to be fun!!)

My expertise is research, so while I’ve got on-the-ground experience in over 60 countries, I can confidently help you plan the trip of your dreams anywhere in the world.
