I’m really excited to interview Rachel Covert of Rachel Talks Money about Ericeira, Portugal. Rachel’s tips for the best things to do in Ericeira are awesome because she moved here after visiting many small towns along the Portugal coast. She loves the town’s unique local flavor and how its surfing draws visitors from around the world.

Getting around Ericeira
The local airport is Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS), which is about a 30-minute drive to Ericeira. Use our Expedia tool below to find flight, hotel, and rental car options.
Rachel says that, if you’re planning on staying in Ericeira, you don’t need to rent a car. However, if you want to venture outside of the city, renting a car makes it easier to explore the Portugal coast. For the best rental car offers, visit Avis, Budget, or Hertz.
Uber and Lyft are excellent ways to get around.

Who is Rachel Covert?
Rachel Covert “retired” from her career as the VP of a women’s fashion brand at 36 after achieving financial independence. She quickly discovered that being fully retired in her 30s was a misguided goal and that she needed a career pivot instead of retirement.
After traveling the world for the better part of the year, she realized that her gift is to help people with their money and that women, in particular, are severely in need of financial education. Rachel launched her money coaching business, Electri FI Wealth, and has helped over 100 women build wealth and pay off debt without strict budgets!
