It’s true that Lisbon is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, and you can’t leave Portugal without checking it out. However, don’t think for a moment that the country ends abruptly at Lisbon’s doorstep. Beyond the city limits, there are many day trips worth taking! Today we’re going to explore five such possibilities …
When we were staying at out 4th neighborhood in Lisbon, discovery mode was near the Amoreiras shopping center, I knew the area was more on the business/residential side – which I was looking for after a 10-day stay in the very fun (but loud) Alfama neighborhood. As usual, I started researching for places to explore. …
Europe is a very diverse continent. Because of that, in this article, I will cover how to properly walk the streets, alleyways, hilltops, and promenades of some of Europe’s major cities. I will generalize greatly in this piece, but it is 100% correct in my opinion. Most of this article is me venting my frustrations …
As you all know I am a insane traveler. In 2015 alone I clocked over 100,000 miles by air, 10,000 miles by train, 12,000 by car (and usually I hit my 21,000 FitBit step goal). I’m always somewhere doing something and I refuse to carry cash. It’s cumbersome, it can get lost or stolen. …

Woo Hoo! Gotta share with all of you. Antonio and I were featured on Travel & Leisure for our digital nomad lifestyle. We’ve been doing this for quite a long time.
I’ve been doing quite a lot of travel over the years. So far, I’ve been to Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Dominican Republic, France, Italy, Mexico, Philippines, Portugal, Puerto Rico (yup – I am aware it’s part of the US), and Spain. I’ve picked up a few things along the way that have made my travels much easier. I’ll share with you, and update this post as I learn more things throughout my travels.
Living in New Jersey meant that I had a decent number of Portuguese friends. They raced their bikes on Route 21, played billiards, and they’d go to Newark’s Portuguese area to eat delicious shrimp in garlic sauce. Still, my understanding of Portugal did not come to where it needed to be until I started working …
One of the reasons I started to write this blog is that sometimes I forget places I have fallen in love with. Cortona is one of these magnificent locations and I am excited to write about it, scared that I won’t do it justice, and scared that people may start visiting more and ruin all …
I had Croatia in my travel goals for years. A friend with Croatian heritage had once showed me pictures of his family vacation. I was floored. Crystal clear blue waters and lush greenery marked the landscape. He mentioned that it was also “dirt cheap”. I am glad to report that Croatia is just as beautiful …
My first encounter with Asbury Park was in high school. My best friend and I drove down the shore to Deal beach because we felt it was much cleaner than Seaside Heights. We decided to drive down the “strip” in Asbury Park to check it out. We had heard that AP was not the safest place; …
Although I have not yet documented all my travels, I’ve been to a lot of places (France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Croatia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Costa Rica, Mexico, Canada, Philippines…you get the idea). I’ve learned how to travel and what the ultimate travel must have items are. But before I get to …
If you haven’t already figured it out, I’m a bit of a Francophile. But I will confess that going to Beaune was a hard decision. I went in March and the beaches of France were calling. I kept picturing myself catching some rays in Nice, having some Bouillabaisse in Marseille, or going broke in Cannes. …
You’ve been dreaming of going to Versailles. After all, it is the most beautiful Castle in the world, right? Abso-freakin-lutely. But you’ll hate it. Why, you ask? Because, just like Venice and Dubrovnik, Versailles is a place that is ridiculously overrun by idiotic tourists who don’t even know how to behave. The volumes of people are …
Do you like food? Do you love food? If so, then you may want to consider Lyon as your next travel destination. Besides the food, there are wonderful museums, shops, and parks. On top of that there is the wonderful Fete des Lumieres in the winter season. It is a wonderful, working French city. The people …
