I went to Portugal for my honeymoon and this is making me so nostalgic!! Definitely the best place I’ve ever travelled, such a great mix of city, beach, nature and history. I can’t wait to go back!
Nadia - The View Is Beautiful welcome back anytime every time I'm back home in New York I can't wait to go back to portugal I fly back and forth every three months
I am from Portugal , i live in Porto and it is sooo nice to hear these words!!!! Ty so much you just made my day better!!!😍😍😍
Did you stay at a specific hotel, or get an AirBnB?
Monica Gutierrez We stayed at the Epic Sana in Lisbon & the one in the Algarve, it was off peak season (last week of September) so we were able to get a really good deal and didn’t have to fight anyone for pool loungers 👌🏼
@@vanessaloureiro1464 wanna see your city
PLEASE make a video on why you decided to go on solo trips, tips, etc. I really am considering going on a road trip alone because no one ever wants to and life is too short! I need some advice and inspiration ✌️✌️
Hello :) that was exactly why i started solo tripping. These are my most treasured memories. I discovered what i am capable of doing. If you questions, i will answer :)
That's going to be my next video!! Don't worry, I'm definitely going to convince you to do it. 😄
I'm here because I will be going on a holiday to Lisbon and Porto on my own in a month. As you say, coordinating with friends is not easy and therefore I have been on quite a few solo holidays. There is a lot to like about them. A few years ago I did a road trip to Paris, Bruges and Luxembourg (I'm from Southern Germany) and had a brilliant time. Getting to make all the decisions yourself is definitely cool. Most important is that you embrace going to restaurants on your own. Might feel a bit weird the first time, but you'll get over it, and you cannot miss out on all the great local food, wherever you go!
I'll go with youu
Sarah R Did you ever make it? I was planning on traveling to Portugal this summer, then C-19 altered things. I’ll be going solo, I’ve heard safety is not an issue, it looks wonderful doesn’t it?
I just traveled to Portugal this past June! Of all of the cities and countries in Europe that I've ever traveled to, it has been my favorite! I went to Porto and Lisbon as well as the Island of Madeira. Thank you so much for sharing, I loved seeing familiar places!
I'm from Madeira Island but currently not living there, I never realized amazing it is until I leave. Did you enjoy it?
@@MyLuis2000 Oh my goodness, yes it was amazing! Such a relaxing part of our trip. Nice cafe's and the scenery was just unbelievable!
I live in Madeira but I'm from Lisbon and I kinda prefer Lisbon :/
Jen Sheridan I would love to get in touch with you somehow and ask you for some travel tips with Madeira!!! Could you DM me!!!? That would be awesome!! My Instagram: Krysell
This hotel is just mind blowing 😯
anyone portuguese here?❤️🇵🇹
Here here
Sou brasileiro kkkk, mas a verdade é que de certa forma somos todos portugueses, um dia irei para Portugal
This video is amazing! I’m so glad you’re back on TH-cam!!
went to Portugal a few weeks ago and watching this because I miss it so much :(((
This was beautiful!! You’re so talented! The editing on this video is unreal! 👏🏼
Thank you!!
Please make a solo traveling as a female video!! I love traveling but a lot of my friends/family are not able to/don't have the money to travel. I've always been afraid of doing trips alone so any advice you have is so greatly appreciated!
thank you for making such amazing vlogs! You're vídeos are stunning. One of my fave vlog channels!
Omg those caves!! 😍
Looks gorgeous!! Glad you're having fun! Be safe!!💖
My Country!! I miss it. Live in the US now. FORCA PORTUGAL!!!
I am going to Portugal in a month, and I think I will follow the exact itinerary. I am just a bit sad that I won't be able to do the SUP, because I have not swam in a long time and it is required.
Well done! It's hard for me to decide which is better, Algarve, Porto, or Lisbon. I throughly enjoyed each city, all different but great places!
loved your video,i grow up in a town called Aveiro in portugal i loved to see ll cities again ❤
Estela Nunez Anadia
Haven’t seen your videos in forever I wasn’t getting notified 😩 I’m going to Greece solo in July 😍
My sweet and beautiful country!!
So glad I came across your vlog! I just booked my trip to Lisbon and wanted to know how you were able to travel to multiple places? What transportation did you use or recommend?
Omg!!!
I saw this Video and I Think, it cant be real 😂
I travel next month also to Portugal and the cities lisbon, porto and lagos. Also i am an solo traveller❤
I find you and your channel like a destiny💕
We shouldnt be scared to Explore the world alone🥰
Hi Karina, that's awesome! How was your trip to Portugal? I am also planning a solo trip. Do you have a recommendation as to where to begin and end the trip? Any other tip appreciated.
I'm new here in your channel. And I love all your videos.
What time of year was this? I'm thinking about going this October but I heard that it rains a lot during that time of year.
Wow beautiful.
which one did you like more? Porto or Lisbon
❤️❤️❤️
Which month of the year did you travel?
I literally jumped as soon as I saw the title of the video! Sending lots of love from Portugal!
Your country is beautiful!!
Love this!! I grew up in a Portuguese neighborhood in the states and have had my share of pastel de nata 😉 Maybe I'll take a trip to the actual country. It's beautiful! Also loved your editing.
thebricktable Don't keep it as a maybe only and make that trip to Portugal a must :) If you go closer to the summer (avoid august too many people) take a few days to enjoy the beaches not only close to Lisbon but also in the Algarve region where Lagos city is (some of the most beautiful beaches in the world are in or close to Lagos) PS : the Pastel de Nata is traditional from Lisbon, nowadays you'll find it allover the country but my advice is to eat it there ;) Welcome to Portugal anytime
Love Portugal...and the azores islands from Portugal as well.
You cannot miss Madeira Island in Portugal elected best Island destination in the World for 6th time in a row.
Portugal looks amazing. Love your editing on this.
Thank you!
digitalteacup everyone under rates Portugal but don't realize how amazing it is
@@antoniodasilva1230 I was on vacation in Portugal
I was in Portugal this past July, so beautiful!
My country 😍
So glad you enjoy!! 😘🇵🇹

You need to turn your channel into a travel vlog/channel. I've become SOOO addicted to those types of videos.
My husband and I went there last year! Beautiful beaches and caves. Definitely need to take advantage of cheap flights from Germany. But Washington is forever my home. Also, rent mopeds people! Great way to get around & it's fun!
I live in Portugal and it's such a great feeling to see that people enjoy our country and our culture! ❤️
I am very glad you liked the country where I was born ;-)
All glory, praise and honor to our Father God and His Son Lord Jesus Christ the true Creator of heaven and earth for a wonderful creation 🙏❤️🕊🌷💦⛰ Lord Jesus Christ is the way the TRUTH and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Him🙏❤️🕊 catholic, muslim, buddhism, hinduism etc. they are all together leading a lot of people to the lake of fire 🔥 because it’s satan religions the father of lies. Holy Bible is the TRUTH alone🙏 REPENT, believe in the Gospel.
"This is not a castle, you are not Beyoncé".. All things we need to remind ourselves of once in a while. xD haha! Love those quirky notes! I wanna visit Lisbon someday too, I have ancestors from there, and I could put my shitty portuguese to use xD
the notes are from a Portuguese artist named Wasted Rita! Her work is brilliant! www.wastedrita.com
I'd love to see a video about solo travel tips. My biggest concern about traveling alone is always safety, especially as a female, and I'd love to see you touch on that.
Well Portugal is considered one of the safest countries in the world
...
This trip looked absolutely amazing! You’ve convinced me to go to Portugal!
Portugal is so beautiful! So proud of my country🇵🇹😍😍😍
I'm from Portugal and this videos make me so happy n proud :) ty
Omg I loved this vlog...specially from my city...LISBON!! and YAAASSS you had a pastel de nata🤩 woohhoooo
Hey girl! Just found your channel and I’m amazed! Really like the way you edit. It’s simple, calming and not too long! You have gain a new subscriber eheh 😋 ! Kisses from Portugal 🇵🇹!!
Portugal has been on my list for awhile but after finding and watching this, I'm 100% convinced! What a fab travel video!
I have visited several countries, and I can assure you that Portuguese people are the most hospitable, pleasant, and inviting people I have ever met. utmost admiration for this nation and its lovely, loving locations.
Ahh perfect timing, i was telling my husband we need a getaway without the kids and proposed Lisbonne 😍 thanks for the video, it's gonna be easy to convince him now 😁
Just came back from Portugal last week and absolutely loved it!! So much so that I am going back for a surf trip at the end of the summer lol
I was there this summer. And did all those places. And now I'm super nostalgic! Portugal was beautiful. I loved it :)
My friends and I are trying to go next year. How much would you say you spent in US dollars? Thank you!
@@zicethmendoza4407 I was on vacation in Portugal
Can you please do a solo travel tips video? Love your channel!🥰
I studied abroad in Portugal for a few months while I was in grad school, we actually lived in Porto!! This brought back so many wonderful memories =)
Lagos represent 🔥
I love how great you are at getting off the couch and doin’ stuff!! Sometimes when I travel I get nervous and find myself in comfortable spots..like shopping and restaurants. But I love how you go for it! And your dedication to catch the sunrise and sunset. High five!!
Can you share what shoes are your go to walking lots/sightseeing/still cute for your trips?? When you went to the forest area I wondered because I’m always asking myself that. Usually I wear Blundstones.
Haha thank you! It's funny, when I'm home in Seattle I can never be bothered to get up early but when I travel I have a 5am alarm every single day. I guess when you're doing something you love, you can drag yourself out of bed!
Wow Portugal looks so beautiful 😍 we almost went last year but ended up going to Italy instead. Portugal is definitely on my list once we can travel again!
3:50
song?
nice to see my country aprecciated! portugal will always welcome you back!
can you do a video giving advice on solo traveling??
Yep! I"m going to do a Q&A!
This trip looks amazing! I have been looking to plan a solo trip, and so I'm excited for a video about how you plan, etc. Do you get sponsored/sent there by companies or? I haven't been abroad and so I just don't know where to start, and going alone scares me a bit. Also who takes your instagrams on your solo trips? Tripod or? Thanks for the video!
Welcome to Portugal !!
I'm so glad you liked my country! Lots of love from Portugal ♥️
Hi Allison.. Have you been to Banaue Rice Terraces here in the Philippines??
Or do you want to experience having a TRADITIONAL TATTOO by our Oldest Traditional Tattoo Artist who is 103 years old, named "WHANG-OD" ?
BELÍSSIMO VÍDEO
It looks beautiful, definitely on the bucketlist :)
Love it! I decided to go to Lagos after watching your video! ❤May I ask which tour did you join for the stand-up paddle-boarding? Thank you 🙏
Hi Allison. My name is Ana, I am a portuguese girl. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay here. I wanted you to know those passive agrassive messages in the hotel are from a portuguese artist called Wasted Rita. You should check her on facebook or instagram. She is really good. Best wishes!
Next time you go to Portugal, you should visit Madeira Island! It is beautiful and warm, called the Garden Of the Atlantic Ocean. A hidden gem I would say.
Thank you thank you for this beautifully edited video. Portugal was on my list but now I must plan a solo trip. I cannot wait to read your itinerary on the new blog. Id love to plan one loosely based on your trip! Thanks for doing the research leg work for me. Hehe kidding aside, you’re the best! Love your travel series!
Make video about northwest area of Pakistan please. Thanks 😍. I watched all your videos. Your videos are great and music selection is perfect👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
Hi! I’m from BriteSpark Films, a documentary company based in the U.K. we’d loved to feature some of these shots of Portugal in a show we are making. What’s the best way to contact you to request permission and credits ?
Nice video.....se you next time in my country
Do you speak Portuguese? Did you have any issues communicating while traveling?
I loved Mary Kate and Ashley's Our Lips Are Sealed! They made a lot of kids our age travel-curious back then. So glad you went :)
Hi! We saw your video its so nice… were going to lisbon in 2 wks did u rent a car goin to Lagos? Were family of 5 (3adults,2 kids) I appreciate your reply. Thanks
Love your videos beautiful ❤️✔️keep it up ✔️🥰😀
Its good see people visit my country and like it.
But just one thing the city is called Lisboa not Lisbon🤣.
And hey if you come back try Esmoriz its pretty good.
Hello, which month did you go to Algarve? I’ll be there the first week of October and I’m wondering if it’ll be warm enough for the beach! 🥰
Thanks so much! Taking my first SOLO trip to Lisbon this fall. Scared but excited!!
This video is beautifully shot and edited! Do you have any tips and tricks for shooting solo? I couldn't help but worry that someone would make off with your camera at 3:36!!
Nice shots! We really liked Potugal too! We also have something to show in our video from Lisbon to Algarve, check it out!
My life ambition is visit 'portugal.because they are very much friend ship to Vijaya nagara empire'in india
haha the thing about the library...why everyone keeps talking about that? J.K. denied every aspect of it, has nothing to do with it.
Hi! Could you share the names of the hotels you stayed in? It would be really helpful, thank you ♥️
I want to go to Portugal but only because it's one of the most safest countries in the world! Can anyone write down a list of places where i should visit once I am there? Will likely be in Lisbon first.
OMG a fellow Mary Kate and Ashley 90s kid fan yessss, the reference is fabulous :)
Hey Allison, do you recommend traveling to Porto? doesnt seem like a very interesting city when you have only a few days.
Portugal is beautiful😍😍🇵🇹
Wow indah sekali pemandangan di negeri ini saya terharu melihat nya andai ku lihat di depan mata pasti aku hanyut di buat nya 😍😍😍🤗
Hi, did you have your reservations booked ahead of time or did you just travel to where you wanted to visit and booked a room at that time. I'm planning to visit this summer and don't know if I should use a travel agent or just book accommodations as I go?
Super cool! How easy it is to move from one place to the other in Algarve? Did you rent a car to visit all those amazing beaches?
Would you recommend spending 2 days instead of one at sintra-cascias for a 10 day Portugal trip?
You’re such a beautiful woman I love that black and white shirt on you and I love your videos
quick question, when did you go because I want to go now but I'm apprehensive about the weather
loved this video! I'm going on my first solo trip, to Puerto Rico, in January and am very excited!
I was just in Portugal and I am becoming a citizen of Portugal to
the notes are from a Portuguese artist named Wasted Rita! Her work is brilliant! www.wastedrita.com
I hope that u will show us more details bout ur trip cuz we didn't see a lot of places in this video , and It's better to reduce showing ur self talking in the video .
Can you share your hotels , I want to do the paddle boarding to the caves it looks amazing
How is it with your fiance, when you travel without him and then maybe can*t go with him that year because of it? :)
I am absolutely in love with you and your videos. Please keep making them as they bring smile on my face.
Omg! That water looks AMAZING 💚 beautiful place!
