Welcome to Ericeira, a wellness paradise nestled along the stunning Portuguese coastline. This guide invites you to immerse yourself into a blend of nature, surf and outdoor experiences that define the identity of this place.
With this guide to Ericeira, you'll find everything you need to make the most of your water retreat.
Recommendations ranging from cozy guesthouses nestled in the heart of the town to seaside spots with panoramic views of the ocean, co-living and hostels.
This place is turning into a digital nomad hub, which locals and pre--covid expats call "the floating island" as it feels disconnected from the rest of life happening.
I'd recommend you leave your laptop at your accommodation and soak up the atmosphere, instead of getting lost behind a screen in a coffee shop. Most places have a no lap top sign.
The recommendations I have included in this list, are all places I have stayed at or been at.
In Ericeira, wellness isn't just a concept - it's a way of life.
It requires you to actively choose limited blue light exposure.
Indulge in Nature and Connect with People.
Ditch the tech.
Welcome to a place, where every moment is an invitation to flow with life.

Welcome to the Azores, a group of nine volcanic islands and an autonomous region of Portugal in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean! Often referred to as the "Hawaii of Europe," these islands will amaze you with their breath-taking scenery, adorable towns, and many unique activities. The Azores are still an off-the-beaten-path destination, so you'll enjoy a quiet and nature-filled escape without compromising on wonderful food and experiences.
This guide is a full five-day itinerary that will introduce you to the Green Island of the Azores, Sao Miguel - the easiest island to get to and around, and the largest and most populated of the nine. Five days is the perfect amount of time to see all sides of the island at a relaxed pace, with flexible time to do what you're most excited about - hiking, eating & drinking wine, swimming in hot springs, etc. The itinerary is based around having a car to drive around the island (and I include information about how to rent one!).
For each of these five days, I give you a full list of recommended activities based on the must-see sights and attractions of Sao Miguel, from exploring historic Ponta Delgada, getting to the best viewpoints over the island's iconic lakes and coasts, going whale watching, relaxing in natural thermal hotsprings, and having wonderful dining experiences. I've included options based on your interests (relaxation, nature, culture), so it's easy to pick just one if you want a slower pace, or scale up if you're the kind of traveler who wants to do it all. I also provide recommended restaurants, bars, and accommodations around the island where you'll be staying. There's truly something for everyone in Sao Miguel, and with this guide, you'll have the perfect foundation and ease of mind to make the trip your own!

Madeira is a paradise on earth. The once volcanic islands create lush and beautiful mountains. The main city on the island - Funchal - is home to 300,000 people whose homes cascade down the hillside into the Atlantic Ocean. Breathtaking, stunning, and one of the most pleasant places you can visit in all of Europe.
The city of Funchal is a mix of colonial style architecture (more typical of Brazil than Portugal) and modern pockets dedicated to the tourism industry. Regardless of where you find yourself, you'll find a beautiful view of the mountains.
This guide is perfect to see the main sites of Funchal. Whether you are stopping on a cruise and only have a day, you are adding a few days on the island to a trip to Portugal, or you are just going for the weekend, this guide provides a bunch of the highlights to be seen in and around the city.

2022 was the year of a lot of travel redemption for most of us, but it was also the year I had to turn down trips to Portugal, Spain, and Paris, as well as have a trip to New Orleans cancelled due to Covid. But thankfully that didn’t stop me from a spring road trip to Texas, a few summer days in DC, two trips to Disney World, and lots of Tennessee day trips in between. Enjoy this travel journal of 350 (!!!) places, including:
🖼️ 42 Museums, Gardens, and Attractions
☕️ 50 Coffee Shops
🍽️ 99 Restaurants, Bakeries, and Food Trucks
🛏️ 38 Hotels, Bed & Breakfasts, and Airbnbs
✨ and a whole bunch more!

Complete guide with attractions and venues where to eat/drink, get those very special souvenirs from (bespoke & local brands and markets) and catch a beautiful sight…or just your breath after walking up and down the hills of this marvellous city. Lisbon is all about art, colors, architecture and GOOD vibes! 🇵🇹💚
💡General tip: combine Lisbon with visits/stays in Sintra and Porto.
Highlights:
🚋 Trams - The Lisbon tramway network is a system of trams in operation since 1873; it presently comprises six lines and has a length of 31 km with 63 trams in operation (45 historic "Remodelados", 8 historic "Ligeiros" and 10 modern articulated trams). Tram 28 is famous because happens to go past many of the city's most significant landmarks in districts like Alfama, Baixa and Estrela. Because the route also uses some heritage-style tram carriages, it has become a popular tourist attraction in the city.
💠 Azulejos - is a form of Spanish and Portuguese painted tin-glazed ceramic tilework. Azulejos happen to be one of the most distinctive art forms in Portugal and are found on the interior and exterior of churches, palaces, ordinary houses, schools, and nowadays, restaurants, bars and even railways or subway stations.
🧼 Soaps - Oprah Winfrey said they're one of her favorite things, so the world is now also a fan of Portuguese soaps. But they're not recent products. They've been made since the 1800s and are 100% natural. They've maintained beautiful Art Deco and Art Nouveau packagings from the 1920s, and have become one of the favorite gifts to take from Portugal.
🥮 Pastel de nata - is a Portuguese egg custard tart pastry, optionally dusted with cinnamon - looks like a cross between a custard tart and a cake; created by monks in the Jerónimos Monastery, a major tourist attraction today and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
🍲You also have to try these traditional dishes: Bifana, Sardines, Caracoletas & Prego na Pao, Alheira de Mirandela, Queijadas.
🧉Ginja - also known as ginjinha. This sour cherry liqueur is a tourist favorite but has sweetened locals’ palates for a long time too. There are establishments in Lisbon entirely dedicated to selling this sweet beverage made with Morello cherries, a variety of spices, and plenty of sugar. Nowadays, ginja is also served in edible chocolate cups. While you may choose among white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate, dark chocolate does indeed pair beautifully with the super sweet, almost syrupy drink.

I spent 5 days in the Algarve region and I loved every moment of it. This guide is not huge because a big part of the trip was to relax, enjoy the moment and be spontaneous, but it will still give you enough information to fill your days and plan your trip to Portugal 🇵🇹

No plans exist without food plans. Porto has SO MANY options, from cuisine to price points from vibes to indoor or outdoor. Here is my extensive list of all the places saved to my "must try" list.
You'll find:
☕️ 14 coffee shops & cafes
🥞 9 brunch and breakfast spots
🍦 9 sweets and treats
🥘 22 sit-down lunch and dinner spots
And a few recommendations for the avid foodie in Porto
AS A HEADS UP, I'm not a drinker so I don't have a section for wine and cocktails BUT it is Portugal so many of the places listed have vast drink options available, and definitely a Port or green wine if that's your vibe.
Before I even buy plane or train tickets, I start looking at nearby food because it's THAT important to me so I feel like this is me doing my part in serving the community. You're welcome ✨

Tascas are the heart of Portuguese cuisine.
They’re the lifeblood.
They’re the no fuss, local joint, people watching, grandma’s cooking type of place.
You can’t leave Portugal without going to at least one tasca for lunch, ok?
And I’ve made it easier for you because these are the best:
Btw, order a plate of the day. Don’t ask the waiter what’s best on the menu because it’s all good.
Maybe the dish will be out of your comfort zone but isn’t that what traveling is all about?
* A plate of the day (Prato do dia) usually comes with a main course, dessert, and coffee
** Bring cash with you just in case they don’t take card!
Bom apetite!
