Spain: Barcelona, Tourist

So a lot of Europe isn’t a avery big fan of tourists.. even though we bring in so much money! oh well. sorry…

Portugal: Porto

Porto is usually very rainy and has bad weather, but the travel gods have shown me generosity and I had super sunny, amazing…

Spain: Barcelona, Foodie

The Barcelona USE-IT map is I think a bit outdated. So some of the places that it suggested that we visit were gone or closed. But! For some of the foods, just save it until you get to La Boqueria. Located by the main touristy road, this huge market sells great deals of…

Germany: Berlin, culture

All the streets of Berlin are packed with creative graffiti and all sorts of art. I don’t know if I am imagining it or not, but the people are efficient but a bit rude. But I am totally not imagining the fact that the Germany entrance passport stamps are placed PERFECTLY aligned with…

Portugal: Evora

I mainly came to the city to skydive!

BTW skydiving in SkydivePortugal is probably the cheapest tandem skydiving you will find anywhere in Europe (that is also safe). I’ve done my research. 115 euros for a 3000m dive, and 129 euros for a 4200m dive! With amazing staff and…

Germany: Berlin, History

My feet were killing me in Berlin and I don’t remember what I was doing but I was late to the free walking tour, which worked out just fine. The history is really cool in the city, but I think it might have been more information than I wanted. heh. So I went to go see the iconic…

Portugal: Sintra

Sintra wasn’t on my destinations list when I first got to Lisbon. I went on a walking tour — informative, but wayyy too much standing around and waiting — and during the middle of it, the tour guide mentioned Sintra to be the “fairy tale” land at the train station, so I immediately bought a ticket…

Switzerland: Montreaux

I traveled with a bunch of techers to Geneva, and Annie and I wanted to go to Gruyeres, where we could have visited a…

Portugal: Lisbon

Lisbon weather, like Porto, was amazing. Not sure if it was because I was lucky but always like that.. There are two main centers to the city — one right by the Arco da Rua Augusta and one right by the Rossio Plaza. Both have terraces for restaurants and lots of waiters asking foreigners if they…

Germany: Hamburg

Hamburg is a three hour bus ride away from Berlin, and there are these busses called Flixbus that you can take across for just…

England: London, Diagon Alley

This is my last Harry Potter filming location to visit! There is still a place in wales, and other lesser used filming locations within a drive from London, but.. trains are expensive, and I’ve seen all that I wanted to :D

Portugal: Food

Foods to eat in Portugal:

(ask the waiter for more information. A lot of people in Portugal spoke English well! ask “Fala ingles?” to ask if they do speak English!)

(oh, and don’t say gracias here. if you don’t remember obrigado/a, just say “thank…

Switzerland: Geneva

Cafe Du Soleil for Fondue. It isn’t in the touristy area, and it was packed with what seemed to be Swiss people, so I…
