Falling in love with Lisbon (again)


Two years ago I visited Lisbon and fell in love with the city. I'm not usually one to visit a place twice but it was the cheapest option to fly out of Portugal so I figured why not? And I'm so glad I did! The people I met and experiences I had were incredible ❤

The first day I did a walking tour of the city. Our guide showed us around and even let us stop for some delicious pastries.


After some lunch and a much needed nap (it was SO hot) a couple of girls from the hostel and I set out to watch the sunset. It was an exhausting climb but so worth it when we got to the top. We had an incredible view of the entire city and the sunset was absolutely  breathtaking!



Later that night everyone was hanging out at the hostel and spur of the moment a group of us decided to go out. We ended up going to a bar on the roof of a parking garage which sounds sketchy but let me tell you the view was ahhhmazing


The next day was a little more laid back..since I'm carrying a 10/kilo backpack I decided I deserved a massage 😎 Later in the day I took the train to Belén with the girls. The views were incredible and the pastries were even better 😜



I am forever thankful for my time in Lisbon, the Goodnight Hostel and the amazing people I met there. I came to Lisbon alone and left feeling like part of a little family ❤

Gringuitas en Sudamerica

A few years I studied Spanish for a summer in Costa Rica, and one of the girls I met at my school has become one of my very best friends. We were in Costa Rica at the same time, for the same amount of time (I definitely think this was fate) and we just clicked right away. We had so much fun over those four weeks but unfortunately lived on opposite coasts so we never saw one another. One day, she messaged me saying she was planning a trip to South America and asked if I wanted to join her. My immediate answer was YES! Hands down yes. Did I care that I already had a big trip planned that year? No. Did I care that it would be a stretch financially? Nope! Did I care that I was a maid of honor in my sister's wedding weeks after I got back? Absolutely not! (Sorry Kier) For months we spent hours on the phone together; a mix of catching up and planning for our trip. Although we hadn't seen each other in 5 years I was so excited to meet up and take on another part of the world together...
