Hola Reader! This week has been buuusy! From Friendsgiving to creating future experiences for you, there's been lots going on! My previous neighbor invited us out to Setubal to her friend's Quinta, which is a farm, to have Friendsgiving with some of her friends. It was a nice escape into nature with a beautiful sunset. We got to have our meal right in the middle of vineyard, absolutely beautiful. * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Wander Further, Discover Portugal π΅πΉπΊοΈ When I first moved to Portugal I only really know about Lisbon and Porto, but I moved to Evora on a whim because I found housing there and there were Roman ruins so I thought why not? Since then I've had a chance to explore the Algarve, hidden small towns and the interior part of the country and let me tell you, Portugal has SO much to see and do! That's why I created this map with icons to make it easy to know what you're looking at and choose what's best for you. π₯ Latest Travel Video On our 4th day in Turkiye, we visited Istanbul's must visit gems. I was surprised how prices for the tourist spots are all in Euros even though you need to pay in Turkish Lira. Watch this video so you can decide if they're worth it for you, I personally loved each place we visited. πΊοΈ Travel Ops Win a Dream Trip to Costa Rica. Enter by December 14, 2025.

Over the weekend, I shared on Instagram that I'll be staying in Lisbon over the holidays. This will be the first time I do this since moving to Barcelona back in 2019. I usually always fly back, but life changes and things come up and I know that they won't always stay the same. So this year will be a Lisbon Christmas! I also have a friend coming in from Barcelona and others who are staying in town so I think it'll be nice to start some new traditions.

Hola Reader! This week quickly got away from me and I didn't get a chance to send this on Monday. But I actually have news related to my weekly Monday email. For the past 2 years I've been sending this email on a regular basis, but even though I have loved it I need a bit of a break. Normally I feel like I should be able to handle it all, but I've started learning to take breaks when I need them. I've been wanting to change the structure of this newsletter and for that I need to step back...
Hola Reader! I cannot believe we're mid way through November with chestnuts roasting on open fires around Lisbon. This past weekend I checked out one of the Christmas markets around town and went to a Friendsgiving hosted by a friend. I'm not a big of the actual holiday but I love the food. * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you.
