"I am not the same having seen the moon shine from the other side of the world."
- Mary Anne Radmacher
Hello! I’m Ana.
I was born and raised in Portugal, and I still vividly remember the moment my love for travel truly ignited. It was just after graduating high school, during a summer trip back to Portugal—a trip I’d made many times before. But this time, something was different. I picked up a travel guide from a local bookstore, and everything changed. My parents had never driven so much on a single trip, and I had never felt so exhilarated. From that moment, there was no turning back. I needed to see new places, experience new cultures, taste unfamiliar foods, and photograph breathtaking landscapes. When I wasn’t traveling, I was dreaming about it, planning the next adventure. Fast forward a “few” years, and Wanderlustre Travels was born.
“Wanderlustre” is a deliberate play on the words wanderlust and lustre, reflecting my two great passions: travel and photography. When I started Wanderlustre Travels, I wanted to go beyond sharing my personal adventures. I wanted to use my love for planning and exploration to help others create their own unforgettable journeys and lifelong memories.
I’m genuinely excited to work with you—not just to plan an incredible vacation, but to give you an enjoyable, seamless trip-planning experience from start to finish. Let’s turn your travel dreams into memories you’ll treasure forever.
My Travel Style
I’m all about adventure, capturing breathtaking landscapes, and diving into the rich history of every destination I visit.
Charming boutique hotels with a touch of history? Yes, please. There’s something magical about staying somewhere that feels like part of the story. After a full day of exploring, I can’t think of a better way to unwind than savoring a great meal and a perfectly crafted cocktail at the hotel restaurant. It’s the little moments like these that make every trip unforgettable.
Favorite Destinations
If I had to sum up my travel philosophy, it would be with this quote: “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” My bucket list feels less like a list and more like an endless, ever-changing ocean of possibilities.
Iceland holds a special place in my heart—both as a personal favorite and a destination I love curating for clients. Its landscapes, its vibe, its unforgettable experiences—it’s simply magical. Then there’s Portugal, my home country. From the mainland to its stunning islands, I take so much joy in sharing everything this small yet vibrant corner of the world has to offer.
Beyond these personal favorites, Western Europe has become a cornerstone of my travel planning expertise. From curating trips to France, Scotland, and Germany to creating personalized experiences across the region, I love helping clients explore its diverse cultures, rich histories, and unforgettable landscapes. Wherever your next adventure takes you, I’m here to make it extraordinary.
