About Jodi, Founder of GoTourism Portugal

For over a decade, I served high-net-worth clients in luxury retail in New York, yacht brokerage, and aboard superyachts, where creating exceptional experiences was simply what we did. That world taught me that true luxury isn’t about extravagance—it’s about seamless logistics, insider access, and giving you the space to simply relax and enjoy.

During a visit to Portugal with my Portuguese husband, I was captivated by the country’s stunning landscapes, rich traditions, and genuine hospitality. When we made Portugal our home in 2017, I began exploring deeply—walking ancient trails, discovering hidden villages, building relationships with local artisans and family-owned quintas. Even locals tell me they’re impressed by how well I’ve come to know their country’s culture, history, and regional traditions.

GoTourism Portugal grew naturally from this: I wanted to offer the same caliber of curated, stress-free experiences I once provided on yachts, but grounded Portugal’s rich culture and traditions. My tours are designed for discerning travelers who want more than sightseeing—they want real connection. To taste traditions passed down through generations, to hike beautiful trails away from the crowds, to meet the people and experience the customs that make Portugal truly special.
