I was absent here for two months and one of the reasons is obviously the lack of travels! With all this coronavirus situation, my situation at TAP is suspended and the usual weekly trips have stopped happening. In the last few days I was urging to start creating...

I had two vouchers at home, one from Odisseias for one night at a hotel, another one from Lifecooler for a meal for two, and a good reason to celebrate away from home: Jorge and I five years anniversary! For some time I had the idea of spending a weekend near...

Azores in January. In the Azores it does not really matter the air temperature, because the natural volcanic pools are all warm. In fact, you it’s even better when it’s cold outside, like taking a bath where the water never cools down. We thought going to Furnas, to...

When I visit Porto it is rare to cross to Gaia, although it is from this bank of the river that we have the most impressive view of the city. With the visit of my husband’s family to Portugal we had to visit this incredible city and while looking for an Airbnb, Gaia...
