Our Story
Planning a trip can be a headache. You’re faced with endless ‘must-see’ lists, but they all seem to lead to the same crowded tourist spots.
I know exactly what that’s like.
When I first moved to Lisbon, everything was new. Every neighborhood felt like a different universe, and I was lost. Following the guides only got me so far.
Discovering the “Local” Lisbon
Over time, living here, I started to discover what really makes Lisbon special: the cafés where locals have a slow breakfast, the hidden viewpoints (miradouros) where the sunset feels like it’s just for you, and the local events that don’t appear in any blog but make the city pulse with life.
This project was born from that feeling. It’s a way to share the perspective of someone who came from outside but now feels at home.
What We Do: Your Local Friend in Portugal
Here, we create personalized digital itineraries with everything I wish I’d received when I first arrived
More than just a list of places, we offer a curated experience built by someone who truly lives the city. It’s like having a local friend—who already got lost, discovered the secrets, and now wants to show you the best way.
Authentic Expertise
We’ve lived and traveled across Europe. From Lisbon’s rooftops to Poland’s mountain trails. Every itinerary we create comes from first-hand experience, real local insights, and genuine connections with people who call these places home.
Conscious & Experienced Travelers
After years on the road, we know how hard it is to find that perfect balance. Great experiences without overspending or harming the places we love. That’s why every plan we make is designed to be sustainable, both financially and environmentally, helping you travel smarter and lighter.
Passion for Meaningful Travel
We believe travel is more than sightseeing. It’s about connection. That’s why we focus on authentic, local moments: meals with character, events that matter, and experiences that help you feel the soul of a city, not just see it.
Our mission
We want to help travelers experience the real place
We started Trip2Happiness because we were tired of seeing travelers waste time, money, and energy chasing “top 10” lists that don’t feel real.
Our mission is simple: make travel easier, smarter, and more meaningful, through authentic, sustainable itineraries created by people who truly know the places you’ll explore.
We believe that every journey should give something back, not just one more place on a bucket list, but experience the community you visit. That’s why we focus on local experiences, eco-conscious choices, and fair prices that make travel both responsible and rewardingI
