As told by Danielle Rudic, Vice President of Marketing and Product

At Travelive, we take product testing very personally. When we say we try everything before offering it to our travelers, we mean it in the most literal way possible. We bring the family. All ages. All opinions. Very little filtering. If something works for a well-traveled, fun-loving, occasionally stubborn group traveling together, we trust it will work for anyone.

Each year, my family picks one destination to reunite in, since we live in different parts of Europe. This year, Portugal got the honor. It was my umpteenth visit and everyone else’s first, which meant expectations were high and commentary was constant. Five nights. Six days. Best of Portugal, plus a few surprises. No padding. No rushing.

Portugal understood the assignment.
