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.
- Food
- Friends
- Hobbies
- Art, entertainment, movies
- Outdoor, nature
- Exploring new places
