it’s been a whirlwind start to the summer with many cool trips with friends and family but portugal with my mom, dad and sister really took first prize (euro summers are unbeatable)
lisbon (lisboa) is one of my fave cities filled with so much charm and some incredible spots. i see a mishmash of paris, barce, mtl, sf but think cobblestone streets, shops cafes, fruit markets, fresh seafood
