You’ve got the ideas.

Let me turn them into a trip

Between TikToks and endless "must-see" lists, planning your trip can feel like a full-time job.

That's where I come in: real advice, real routes, and an itinerary that actually makes sense, from someone who lives in Lisbon and helps people travel to Portugal, Spain, and Morocco.

I’m not a travel agent.

I build your itinerary around what's actually right for your trip, your budget, and what's going to give you the best vacation on your own terms.

I've been in the travel industry for 14 years and I've spent the last 10 specializing in Portugal, Spain, and Morocco. I live in Lisbon and I've traveled extensively across every region I recommend. I'm not tied to specific hotel chains or tour operators because of commission agreements.

Because even with all the research in the world, some things are hard to get right on your own

Wasting half a day standing in line at a super touristy spot you wouldn't have enjoyed anyway

Booking a popular hotel for $550 a night when a smaller, boutique property for $307 would have been perfect for what you were looking for

Underestimating logistics and taking two trains and several taxis when you could have just rented a car and gotten there in three hours

That’s what I’m here to fix

You tell me your dates, your pace, your budget, and what you're most excited about. I use my experience and on-the-ground knowledge to design a clear, structured itinerary you can confidently book yourself.

Routing that makes sense, realistic daily flow, thoughtful recommendations, and direct booking links. Everything organized so you can move forward without second-guessing.

Hi, I’m Talia 🤗

Travel planner, Lisbon insider, and the person who can help you untangle your trip ideas.

I’ve spent years in hospitality and exploring Portugal, Spain, and Morocco, so I know what actually works on the ground (and what just looks good on Instagram).

I make planning stress-free, personal, and actually enjoyable.

Talia is the modern day travel agent! When we started planning our 20th anniversary trip to Portugal/Spain/Morocco, it quickly became overwhelming. We're so thankful that we stumbled upon Talia and her expertise. From the first time we spoke, we could tell she was passionate and thoughtful based on her questions and attention to detail. Her tiered services are affordable for every budget and are well worth the investment. We chose the middle option, received our itinerary within 3 days, and quickly booked our flights, lodging and excurisions based off of her recommendations with no problems. Don't hesitate - enlist Talia's help...you won't regret it!

I highly recommend Talia’s trip planning service! We had an amazing time following her suggestions. The highlights of our trip were the activities, hotels, and restaurants that she recommended. She saved us countless planning hours, and we still wouldn’t have come up with the perfect combination of tours and places that we visited. We are so grateful that she provided such a personalized itinerary for our fabulous trip to Portugal!

We had the best experience working with Talia for our trip to Spain! We went to multiple cities over about 18 days, and everything was seamless. All of the tours and restaurants she recommended were fabulous, and we truly had the best time on our vacation. We couldn’t recommend her more!
ELSA HERRERA

Totally recommend! Working with Talia was amazing. She asked great question and designed our itenary to the T of what we wanted to do and things that are not on every itenary out there. Highly recommend to use Mazepa Travel :)

Talia was an amazing travel planner. She initially met with me to go over what I wanted to do and put together a whole itinerary in 3 days that was more than I could have ever expected. I have used travel planners prior to her and her experience was much different and the most effective in my opinion. I wish she offered her services in throughout the world. If you are planning to travel to Morocco, Portugal, or Spain I highly highly recommend her. Thank you again Talia!!!

I found Talia on TikTok and took a leap of faith to have her plan our family trip to Portugal. She truly listened to our wants and needs and knocked it out of the park for us!!! We traveled to Lisbon, Porto and Douro Valley. We had such unique experiences that kept topping the day before. Talia was very responsive, knowledgeable, and kind. We highly recommend her and look forward to our next adventure for her to plan. Thank you, Talia for such a memorable vacation.
