Hey there 👋
Welcome to Travel Plans with Fernando Pinho (that’s me!)
I love inspiring people like you to find their next travel adventure. As an airplane pilot, my heart soars when I explore a place I’ve never imagined existed.
Yet, the biggest challenge is deciding where to explore next, right?
That's where Travel Plans comes in. Part toolkit, part love letter to travel, this is a deep dive into each destination with curated guides, immersive podcasts and live Q&A.
Each month, we'll fly together! I mean, virtually. But at least I can guarantee you that with me in the cockpit, you’ll never feel scared of flying ever again!
As I was saying, each month, we'll go on a captivating journey together, discovering beautiful destinations across the UK and Europe. You'll get a window seat to:
Must-visit locations that you’ve probably never heard of.
Authentic cultural experiences that will enrich your soul and make your friends and family say “Oh wow! Thank you for bringing me here!”
Insider tips on where to eat, sleep and play. And trust me, I do like good food and a great hotel!
Think of Travel Plans with Fernando Pinho as your expertly curated guide to adventure, helping you uncover off-the-beaten-path locales and elevate your travel plans.
Let this newsletter and immersive podcast be your trusted companion, inspiring you for your next getaway.

More About Me
I’m a dad of two wonderful girls and husband to the woman of my dreams ✨
Years ago, flying saved me. Literally. Being up in the air gave me a different perspective on our world and helped me find my way out of a tough period in my life.
Today, I’m a private pilot, and I fly my own general aviation aeroplane. I share that experience with my family and I help others when I can.
I run a small tiny charity. We are all volunteers, and since 2015, we’ve been helping children with cancer and their families travel to hospitals. So far, we’ve offered over 7,000 journeys.
My volunteer work has been featured on the BBC and NBC. In 2024, I was a finalist in the BBC Make a Difference Awards.
