I have a German friend, Elena, teaching in São Tomé for three months so I asked for this flight, a great excuse to visit this beautiful island! Since I already have the right of travel facilities (aka take friends at special prices), my friend Mariana decided to...
Apr 1, 2019 | Africa, Casablanca, Morocco
Last stop in Morocco: Casablanca. When we were planning the trip we began to realize that we wanted to visit several cities and that it did not make much sense to fly in and back from Marrakech. So we decided that we would return from Casablanca. We then had to decide...
Mar 17, 2019 | Africa, Morocco, Rabat
Third stop in Morocco: Rabat! We caught a train from Marrakesh, super comfortable! Four hours of travel and approximately € 15 per person. I advise you to buy food beforehand because they warned us that the food they sell on board is bad and expensive. In Rabat we...
Mar 12, 2019 | Africa, Essaouira, Morocco
An easy onde day trip from Marrakesh is Essaouira (former Portuguese town of Mogador). We chose to buy the tour at the Riad itself (230dh per person) – the alternative would be a taxi, which would only compensate if we were four, or bus, which was more or less the...
Feb 26, 2019 | Africa, Marrakech, Morocco
Traveling alone has its advantages, but being accompanied is always more interesting. Being impossible to go on vacation with my Mexican, my mother proposed to take a few days off, days that became a week and the two of us turned four. Several destinations have been...

Every month we can request TAP to do a certain flight based on a scoring system – each month they give us 6 points and for each asked destination they give us they take us out 16 points, something exaggerated … So and because I like to choose where I fly, I always...

I woke up at La Palm Beach Resort before the alarm clock ringed. The forecast was of a rainy day and indeed dawned gray. I still had more than an hour before having breakfast with the rest of the crew, so I decided to go for a walk on the grounds of the hotel. As the...
Jun 1, 2018 | Africa, São Tomé, São Tomé e Príncipe
The crew meeting hour to depart and discover the island was scheduled for 9am, but the short stroll around the hotel the night before made me realize that it would be worth exploring its surroundings before leaving to the south of the island. I decided not to close...
May 26, 2018 | Africa, São Tomé, São Tomé e Príncipe
I never imagined going to São Tomé in my first month of TAP, but through the exchange system, I managed to do it. The layover in São Tomé is one of the most desired, not only for the destination itself, but also because is one the places where we stay longer. In this...
Oct 4, 2017 | Africa, Travel Itineraries, Tunisia
Another family trip, this one in 2008, “powered by” Abreu Viagens. Nowadays and with the age that I have, I avoid these tours with everything organized, but in this case I think it was a great way to get to know the whole country and in a very fun way, since the group...
