So happy to have finally landed! After a long 22 hour journey, including almost missing my last flight 😅, I finally made it to meet the gorls ❤️❤️. Arrived at our airbnb late at night, and spent the first night there eating tapas, and having late night chats on the roof!Lue lisää

Lisbon Day 2
21. kesäkuuta 2023, Portugali ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
Long day of exploring and seeing what Lisbon had to offer. Immediately started the day off with some Gingigha, a cherry liqueur, which I don’t think I really like, but someone so kindly got us 4 chocolate ones. Tried Portuguese tarts, they were DELICIOUS!!!! Try em with cinnamon, would recommend. Bought 2 pairs of shoes. Went down to the water, seems like they have a little festival kinda thing going on around the city so that’s cool. Then we decided to take on the town and check out Pink Street, leaving the house at 12:49am 🤭🌙We got extremely side tracked and made many pit stops along the way, but me and Kes made it to Pink Street, not quite into the clubs, but just met and chatted with some lovely people outside the bars. Somehow ending up at home in time the watch the sunrise.Lue lisää

Lisbon Day 3
22. kesäkuuta 2023, Portugali ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
So much exploring today. And crazy amount of steps taken today. Hit the Fado museum and learned about the beautiful and soulful history of Fado music in Portugal, which originated in the Alfama (dubbed Alfalfa) district of Lisbon. Lots of just walking around and admiring the lovely architecture. We also went around the Alfama district a bit but it seemed to be ‘siesta’ time, where most places are closed between 2-5pm. After this, we went to go see the Castle of São Jorge. I still don’t really get what it’s about, but I think it was like a defence lair or something. The views at the top were to die for, and it was cool to explore. Later at night we went to the little festival that was conveniently 3 minutes away from our place. Opted to share piña colada in a pineapple, which is so extra but we are extra. We returned to Pink Street with the goal to DANCE and we did exactly that. We became besties with the DJ and he let us dance on elevated surfaces and let us wear the DJ headphones 😁 Later, me and Ailish ventured to find bread for the next day’s breakfast. We went into a bar to ask for some help from the staff in finding bread at 2am, but the bartender so graciously sold us some bread- BAR BREAD!!!!Lue lisää

Lagos Day 1
23. kesäkuuta 2023, Portugali ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
Just arrived in Lagos! After getting a whopping 4 hours of sleep, we headed to the train station (my first train!!!) where I slept for pretty much the entire train ride. We got here and its hot, real hot. A quick (but felt long) 15 min walk to our AirBnb and after some resting we went to check out the beach. The one that we went to was about a 30 minute walk away, which felt a lot longer in the sun. Surprisingly, the water is pretty cold, refreshing, but not so much my speed. I hung out more in the shaded area which is surrounded by a tall wall of rocks, and slept at the beach for like an hour. Later we went to the grocery store where I saw this huge watermelon (as pictured) and we went home for dinner. Lately we’ve been eating copious amounts of bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Ailish made us delicious fish with risotto and veggies 😋 We wrapped up the night with a messed up episode of Black Mirror that left my jaw dropped the whole episode (S6, E2).Lue lisää

A nice chill day spent pretty much entirely at the beach! We went to a little market at the beginning of the day, and I bought a cute sundress! A few sunburns on everyone but it was really relaxing, and a nice change of pace. I got to catch up on some sleep which was really nice :-) At the end of the day, we had a couple of drinks and met up with some really awesome new friends- funnily named Ethan and Chris which offered a homey sense of comfort 😂! Lots of dancing as always, and watched the stars at the beach to end off the night. Do it all again tomorrow!Lue lisää

Todayyy i had a long sleep in and we spent lots of time relaxing at the beach, while Kseniya was out surfing! I did some actual swimming today and let my hair get wet, the waves weren’t too intimidating to swim in today! I tried this Brazillian(?) drink that Ceci recommended, and we went to the town to get some ice cream before heading home. After some sangria and improv, we wanted to go eat some real Portuguese food for dinner. Unfortunately the restaurant that we were wanting to go to was fully booked for the day, so we planned to go there tomorrow! We settled for €4.50 donair to end the night.Lue lisää

The jetlag has really been hitting me, I’ve been having some trouble getting to sleep at night, so I slept until like 1:30 today, but it was much needed. After eating a quick lunch I went out to do a little walk/hike/trail thing on my own, the girls went to do it in the morning but I wasn’t up to it then. I didn’t go very far because it is a long walk (they ubered home from the end), so I only went about half way and turned around. Went back into the town and did a bit of shopping and window shopping, then got me some more ice cream 🤭 we then headed out as a group to get to that dinner place, ‘the garden’ and each had a grilled fish platter, and had some port wine. After dinner, Kseniya proposed that we do a “night cap,” but somehow that turned into drinking games with new friends and a long night of dancing and fun!!Lue lisää

Barcelona Day 1
27. kesäkuuta 2023, Espanja ⋅ 🌙 24 °C
Today was more of a travel day than anything- the most brutal travel day, that is. After a very short sleep, we had to catch the 7:15am train to Tunes (before catching the train to Lisbon).……. too bad it was CANCELLED because there is a train strike in Portugal. We ended up taking an uber to Tunes and got to catch our train back to Lisbon from there. I slept for literally the entire train ride (time travel) and we went to the mall to kill time before having to catch our flight to Barcelona.

Side note, last night literally less than 24hrs before we were supposed to check in to our AirBnb, they cancelled the reservation, so in a hassle we booked a hostel, which worked out just fine, but it was a small sidetrack.

Back to the story, it’s TACO TUESDAY at taco bell and that means 1€ tacos so I had that for lunch. We went to go watch a Wes Anderson movie in the mall, which I totally slept through as a result of being super exhausted and still jetlagged. I thought that the way that it was filmed was very beautiful though. We caught our flight shortly after, which I also slept entirely through. Made it to our hostel in a jiffy and guess what… it’s TACO TUESDAY at the mexican restaurant across the street so I ate more tacos for late night munch.Lue lisää

28. kesäkuuta 2023, Espanja ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
A very eventful day. We had a much needed sleep in and did some laundry. While that was going I did a small solo exploration just walking around and found an asian market and got wasabi peas! Met the girls again and headed out for a long day of walking. First went to eat some delicious brunch where I had an açai bowl and then we went to see various sites and also complete some chores. We walked through the gothic quarter which was beautiful, and stopped in many stores along the way. Ate some churros and passionfruit gelato 😋😋. The first church lookin thing is the Cathedral of Barcelona, the second site was the Arc de Triomf (not to be confused with the Arc de Triomph in Paris), and the last was the Segrada Familia. After our looooong walk we went back to the hostel before dinner where we got some 🎶empanadas🎶 after that, Jaya and Neesha came over to convene with us before going to the club. We also went with our hostel mate, Elena from London, who is the sweetest girl ever! We had lots of fun and unexpected moments, but made it home in one piece.Lue lisää

After a short sleep and a quick debrief in the morning, we went to eat a hearty breakfast at “ByKate” where i got a NY Bagel which consisted of smoked salmon, avocado, cream cheese, and chives. After we embarked on a long walk and stumbled upon an antique market along the way. Further on, we decided that it was only fit that we saw the Barceloneta (the Barcelona beach), so we did a nice one hour walk over there. At that point it was only appropriate to share some Sangria with our friend Elena by the beach (first image) in a cute little spot called Makamaka. After that we took the bus home, which is very slow here. Honestly walking would take only an extra 10 minutes. I almost fell asleep on the bus home. We had a short rest at our hostel, then went to get some late night tapas for dinner. This is farewell, Barcelona!!Lue lisää
