    A local’s guide to Porto

    Why haven’t I written about my lovely hometown Porto before? Well, it’s time! Here’s my travel guide to help you explore Porto. The pandemic made me understand how important it is to appreciate where we come from. I took for granted coming to Porto from the UK every 1-2 months, and it was a struggle…

  • Colombia

    Colombia

    2-week itinerary It’s been a while since I felt the need to visit Colombia… My love for reggaeton grew massively in the past few years, so listening to J Balvin, Maluma, and Karol G made me really interested into the colombian culture. It all came into a plan just a few days after the latest…

  • Barcelona

    Barcelona

    (updated March 2023) Barcelona is Catalunya’s capital. A city full of energy and always with great weather (besides the tropical rain and thunder storms during the Summer). I can never get tired of this city! Especially now that my two best friends Ana and Chico live there and Iโ€™ll always have somewhere to crash. There…

  • Marrakech and Essaouira

    Marrakech and Essaouira

    (updated June 2022) Morocco is a very different country for what I am used to, but surprisingly beautiful. We landed in Marrakech airport where it took us 1h30min to have our passports scanned at the border back in 2018. It was much more faster in 2022. Get ready to wait, airports in Morocco work in…

    Budapest

    (updated December 2021) Oh, Budapest… My favourite city in the World! Iโ€™ve lived in Budapest during my Erasmus + traineeship from January to July 2015. It was definitely the best 7 months of my life. Budapest is described by the Brazilian author and singer Chico Buarque as the โ€œyellow cityโ€, and it is true: everything…

  • Berlin

    Berlin

    Berlin is the capital city of Germany. For those who like History, this place is full of it! Berlin was the center of World War II (1939 to 1945) and because of that it was split into sectors – American, British, French and Sovietic, leading to its diversity today. Berlin welcomes everyone and people are…

  • Baleares – Ibiza and Formentera

    Baleares – Ibiza and Formentera

    The Balearic Islands are an archipelago formed by 4 islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera) in the Mediterranean just next to mainland Spain. I have been to Mallorca before and I simply love the fact that the weather is always good and the water temperature is always warm. This Summer we have decided to explore…

  • 23 days of Thailand

    23 days of Thailand

    Last August I went to Thailand for 23 days. Me and my mom have been dreaming of going there together for a while, as she said it felt like home when she was there over 20 years ago. About the flights, Thai Airways do very good promotions on direct flights from London to Bangkok or…
