Belem is a neighbourhood that is packed with monuments and a great day trip to take from Lisbon. I made a day out of it and this was my route. I took a bus to the area and started my adventure with a stop at MAAT, the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, which hasContinue reading “Day Trip Itinerary to Belem”

Party on Pink Street
Everyone knows about the red light district in Amsterdam, but I bet you didn’t know about Lisbon’s Pink Street. This short street, which is actually pink, is Lisbon’s centre of nightlife.

They’ve actually already taken a plane ride from London and Seattle, but they’re goingContinue reading “Packing Saga 3: Creature Comforts”
Packaging Saga 1: Toiletries
Back in my day (when I had to walk 10 miles, in the snow, and uphill BOTH ways to school), there was no Airbnb. If hotels were too expensive, your alternative was hostels. When I travelled, hostels were likely stops and shampoo, conditioner, body wash or cream weren’t left out for you. So, I developedContinue reading “Packaging Saga 1: Toiletries”
