EXTRAS

At M. Good Travel, it’s all about the little something extra — the lagniappe. These are the tools, touches, and resources that help you travel better, smarter, and more seamlessly.

Imagine arriving in Paris or Lisbon with a curated Google Map already waiting for you — every bistro, boutique, and hidden gem pinned, organized, and ready to explore.

Each map is tailored to the spirit of its destination. In Portugal, you’ll find wineries and wine bars. In Ireland, it’s pubs and coastal stops. In Germany, beerhalls. In Paris, cafés and pâtisseries. No two maps are alike. Each one highlights what a place does best, blending the iconic with the insider.

How to Use Them

• Plan ahead → Touring the Louvre? Search the map for a nearby lunch spot.
• On the go → Out exploring without a plan? Pull it up on your phone and instantly see trusted M. Good Travel recs nearby.
• Road trips → For self-driving itineraries (like Ireland), maps are invaluable for knowing where to stop along the way.
   

I’ve already built out Portugal (my home base) and Paris in detail, along with many other destinations — and I’m constantly adding to them as I travel, explore, and hear about new gems from clients, partners, and friends along the way.

I also create custom maps designed exclusively for your trip. This premium service is available for a fee, and clients consistently tell me it’s one of the most valuable tools of their travels.

Not every travel story fits neatly into an itinerary. That’s why I write on Substack, where I share essays, notes from Portugal, lessons from elsewhere, and insider travel intel.

Think of it as your behind-the-scenes look into how I travel, what inspires me, and the tips I share with clients before anyone else.

Through Coastline Travel and Virtuoso, my clients enjoy VIP perks at the world’s top hotels — from upgrades and daily breakfast to resort credits, amenities, and recognition.

The real value, though, lies in the connections: the hoteliers who greet my clients by name, the guides who open doors to after-hours experiences, and the partners who make the magic happen behind the scenes.

Prefer to book your own hotel? With my self-booking portal, you’ll still unlock these same VIP perks — plus I’ll be notified of your booking and follow up to make sure you’re fully supported.

Sometimes it’s the smallest details that transform a trip. Whether it’s a surprise bottle of wine waiting in your room, a handwritten list of local gems, or one of my signature maps, every client gets a little something extra when they travel with me.

It’s my way of saying thank you — and of making your journey truly unforgettable.
