Portugal

In October and November 2021, I embarked on a transformative journey to Portugal, seeking a fresh start after a five-year relationship. I spent a week in Porto, indulging in the local wine at Graham's winery and soaking up the relaxed vibes at Base Bar while diving into books ranging from philosophy to fantasy. The highlight of Porto was an evening with friends, enjoying great wine and even better company. Next, I headed to Lisbon, one of my favorite cities, where I explored the beauty of Sintra and Belem, indulged in local delights like Nata tarts, and ventured through Bairro Alto's bustling nightlife. From a sunset boat tour on the Tagus River to unforgettable nights out, Lisbon left me with memories and a longing to return. My journey concluded in Palermo, which I'll cover in my next segment.
