Lisbon


Lisbon, Portugal was my first destination in Europe. The reason for choosing Lisbon came down to a cheap flight and warm weather, plus it was one of the last western European countries I had yet to visit. Portugal ended up having a lot more rain than expected, but I hear it is unusual and is bringing much needed rain after a drought.

Travel thought: What categories of activities do you do in your free time? So far I have thought of six - are there more I missed? This could help me think how to spend time during slow travel.

  1. Food
  2. Friends
  3. Hobbies
  4. Art, entertainment, movies
  5. Outdoor, nature
  6. Exploring new places
