Lisbon is a total gem of a city where traditional heritage meets modern vibrancy, and this is nowhere more evident than in its food and culture scene. The city is a bustling metropolis that offers a unique blend of the old-world charm with contemporary flair, making it a must-visit destination for culture enthusiasts and foodies alike. Lisbon's culinary scene is a reflection of Portugal's rich maritime history, with an emphasis on fresh seafood. Cod (bacalhau) dishes are ubiquitous, served in various forms such as "Bacalhau à Brás" (shredded cod with onions, potatoes, and eggs). Sardines, especially grilled sardines (sardinhas assadas), are another staple during the summer months. But Lisbon's food scene isn't limited to seafood; "Alheira," a type of sausage made from meats other than pork, and "Bifana," a traditional pork sandwich, are also popular among locals and tourists. Pastries and sweets hold a special place in Lisbon's culinary landscape, with "Pastéis de Nata" (custard tarts) leading the charge. These creamy, flaky pastries originated in the city's Belém district and are a must-try for anyone visiting Lisbon. The city's coffee culture is equally noteworthy, with cafes and pastelarias dotting every corner, inviting visitors to indulge in a leisurely "bica" (espresso) paired with a pastry. Lisbon's culture is as diverse as its culinary offerings. The city is renowned for Fado music, a soul-stirring genre characterized by its melancholic tunes and lyrics that reflect the Portuguese concept of "saudade," or longing. Visitors can experience live Fado performances in various "casas de Fado" throughout neighborhoods like Alfama and Mouraria, offering an intimate glimpse into Portugal's soul. Art and history are woven into the fabric of the city, with numerous museums and galleries showcasing everything from contemporary art to artifacts that trace Portugal's maritime exploits. The LX Factory, a former industrial complex turned cultural hub, epitomizes Lisbon's blend of historical roots with modern creativity, hosting art studios, bookshops, eclectic boutiques, and thematic restaurants. The city's architecture is another highlight, with the Pombaline downtown area (Baixa) offering a grid-like layout unique to Europe, majestic plazas like Praça do Comércio, and iconic monuments such as the Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery. The juxtaposition of traditional azulejos (ceramic tiles) adorning buildings with street art and murals in districts like Bairro Alto and Graça adds to the city's vibrant aesthetic. Lisbon is a city that delights the senses and stirs the soul, offering a rich tapestry of food and culture that seamlessly blends tradition with innovation. Whether it's in the simple pleasure of a Pastel de Nata, the haunting melodies of Fado, or the intricate beauty of azulejos, Lisbon invites exploration and promises unforgettable experiences.

Paraty is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, nestled in Brazil's stunning Costa Verde. This charming colonial town boasts cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, and lush tropical surroundings - and it's my favorite town in Rio de Janeiro. In the late 17th century, Paraty marked the endpoint of the Gold Route, through which gold was shipped to Europe. Its port was crucial for importing tools and African slaves for the mines. The town built a defense system to protect its wealth. Today, Paraty's historic center preserves its 18th-century layout and colonial architecture, offering a glimpse into its rich past spanning the 18th and early 19th centuries. With its rich history, vibrant culture, and picturesque coastline, Paraty offers visitors a unique blend of historical exploration, outdoor adventure, and relaxation by the sea.

"Big Sur, one of the world’s most unforgettable stretches of coastline. This roughly 90 mile long stretch of redwood and fog trimmed waterfront between Carmel by the Sea and Hearst Castle draws you (and writers like Henry Miller and Beat Generation darling Jack Kerouac) in with a magic allure that is almost palpable. This is, quite simply, a place you want to be: bluffs, sea and sky. The classic drive through Big Sur, along twisting Highway 1, offers plenty of pullovers at places like seen it in a million car commercials Bixby Bridge. Stop at parks along the coastline and look up to see endangered California condors, North America’s largest birds, or look down to scan the swells for migrating whales or sea otters floating among dense beds of kelp, California’s signature seaweed." - Visit California
