Portugal hooked me from the start. Wandering Lisbon’s hilly streets, watching the old trams, and settling into little cafés became an easy routine. Porto felt warm and welcoming, especially those quiet moments along the river after visiting the wine caves. And the Algarve’s cliff walks… honestly, they’re some of the most beautiful stretches of coastline I’ve ever seen.
What keeps pulling me back is how simple everything feels. Trains make it easy to jump between cities and small towns. People are kind and patient. And there is always something good to eat, whether it is fresh seafood or a still-warm pastel de nata. Portugal has become one of those places I love sharing because each trip gives me a new corner to explore and a new story to tell.
