Dec 26, 2019 | Africa, Maputo, Mozambique, Travel Itineraries
Mozambique’s last post, the post about Maputo, the capital. On this trip Maputo was like a place of passage, first on the way to Pemba, then between Ilha de Moçambique and Kruger, with the arrival of Clara, and finally a few days before returning to Lisbon. We...
Feb 21, 2019 | Europe, madeira, Portugal, Travel Itineraries
I had three weeks of holidays (all from last year, since I started working for TAP) and little money in my pocket. So I decided to go to Madeira for five days – TAP offers us domestic flights, so everyone can go home, and I stayed with my great friend Soraia. I have...
Nov 30, 2017 | Asia, Himeji, Hiroshima, Japan, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Tokyo, Travel Itineraries
I have just returned from two intense weeks in Japan, so it is an ideal time to share with you my plan, including the adaptations that were made on the spot due to weather conditions or taking less or more time to visit the different attractions than originally...
Oct 31, 2017 | Europe, Lisbon, Portugal, Travel Itineraries
I have a tendency here in the blog, to speak mostly of my trips abroad, when Lisbon is the city I know best, not only because whenever I have foreign friends visiting I take them for a walk, just as I have gone for a walk countless times to find the most interesting...
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...
Aug 12, 2017 | America, Mexico, Travel Itineraries, Yucatan
Every time I talk about the city where I lived in Mexico, Mérida, as it isn’t “famous” in Portugal, I always tell it is near Cancún. Actually there’s a five hour way separating both cities, but for Mexico that’s close. Though there are...
Feb 16, 2017 | Europe, London, Travel Itineraries, United Kingdom
Anytime I travel somewhere with Jorge, my boyfriend, and as we have very different tastes – I go more for museums and architecture and he likes more football and to enjoy things slowly – we usually split the time, so both can see things we like. The last time I went...
Sep 5, 2016 | Europe, France, Paris, Travel Itineraries
When I was five, my parents took me to Paris, to Disneyland. I have few memories of this visit and when I was 22, when I was doing Erasmus in Florence and because I had a friend in Paris, also in Erasmus, I decided it was time to go back and spend 7 days in the French...
May 22, 2016 | Africa, Marrakech, Morocco, Travel Itineraries
Last year in May Jorge and I travelled to Morocco. I was pretty excited, as it was one of the close destinations I always wanted to visit. From the airplane we could see how diverse the landscape was, but also how dry and hot everything should be. We flew to Marrakech...
Sep 2, 2015 | America, New York, Travel Itineraries, United States of America
I’m in New York City!!! When I first arrived it seemed really weird to be here, it seemed unreal to be in a place that you feel you know from so many movies, but where you have actually never been! My first impression, when I arrived in the subway coming from the...
Jun 16, 2015 | America, Guatemala, Travel Itineraries
The itinerary I leave here today isn’t exactly what I did, once I integrated Guatemala in a trip from Mérida to Mexico City and I was just 7 days in the country. This is my suggestion for 10 days (aka I wish I had more time there!) to those who travel directly to...
Apr 25, 2015 | America, Cuba, Travel Itineraries
Cuba is a country that has always been present in the conversations in my house, one of my father’s dream destinations, communism in its purest state. I was living in Mexico when it get started speaking about the opening of the embargo that the American...
