Sasha Raikhlina
Lives in Boston, MA, USA
Hey! I'm Sasha and I'm an avid traveler. I find a place I like and I explore it until there is nothing left to explore. Since 2022, that place has been Portugal (and the Azores Islands), where I have travelled at every opportunity I get - six times thus far. I have explored a different location/aspect/travel modality each time. From taking trains to get around the country, to renting a manual transmission car and getting stuck in the summer heat on an uphill off-the-map backroad of a vineyard in the Douro, to cycling from Lisbon to Sintra on three broken gears - I've done it all. Well, most of it! And I've made enough (beautiful!) mistakes along the way that I can also guide you as to what NOT to do and how to create beautiful memories and lasting connections. Although my expertise in Portugal and the Azores, I'd also be happy to guide you around my hometown of Boston and the beautiful surrounding nature in the region. I have peaked all 48 4000 footers of New Hampshire and have done 30+ mile single day hikes in the White Mountains and in Acadia National Park. Call me restless, but I love to seize everything life has to offer. A middle school teacher by day, I enthusiastically help my friends and family create itineraries and book stays for their vacations to Portugal, Azores and elsewhere. They always tell me - "Why not do this for a living?" I figured I might as well try.

Sarah Pollock
Lives in Madrid, Spain
Sarah Pollock is a twenty-something-year-old traveler, creative, and spiritualist. She graduated with a degree in Business Information Systems (although she did not enjoy it) and a minor in Sustainability from the University of Florida. Since embarking on her first trip abroad to Australia and New Zealand at 15 years old, she has since visited 25 countries and counting- most of them solo. She is also an avid foodie, reader, concert-goer, sitter at coffee shops, introspective thinker, and champion of small businesses. She prides herself on her romantic and nostalgic approach to seeing the world, which is reflected in the hidden gem-filled and slightly sentimental tone of her writing and recommendations. She recently spent this past school year splitting time between Tel Aviv and Be’er Sheva, Israel; teaching English to underrepresented and underprivileged children in both Hebrew and Arabic-speaking schools. She is currently continuing this work in Madrid. For more personal thoughts and musings and present updates on where she is in the world and how she’s feeling about it, consider subscribing to her bi-weekly travel newsletter, Postcards. Other subject matters, though all undoubtedly influenced by her experience living abroad, are explored through her primary publication, Older Sister (both linked in bio).

Michelle Sandmann
Lives in Portland, ME, USA
I am an avid travel enthusiast with extensive experience planning trips for myself and husband, friends, family, and colleagues. Once inspiration for a trip strikes, I become fully immersed in the planning process, and now, I am excited to help others create their dream adventures! My journey into travel planning began with a life-changing trip to Iceland, where my now-husband proposed. Since then, I have been the go-to travel planner for my circle, constantly urged by friends and family to pursue this professionally. Today, I am thrilled to share my passion for travel planning and itinerary building with you. I specialize in crafting travel experiences that seek out epic landscapes and nature. Whether it's adventurous hikes, cycling, mountain biking, camping, RVing, horseback riding, snorkeling, or scuba diving, I have a knack for finding the best spots and activities to make any trip unforgettable. I particularly enjoy slow travel and own a Class C RV, which I have driven across the United States along with my two dogs. I am well-versed in using tools like RV Life Pro to plan detailed road trip itineraries, ensuring every journey is smooth and enjoyable. Based in the Portland, Maine area, I am a strong advocate for loving where you live. Maine holds a special place in my heart, and I would love to show you all the incredible experiences this beautiful state has to offer.
