    Thank you so much for sharing these amazing places! I have been to the Pasteis de Belem and Manteigaria, but I think I would always go to Manteigaria, as it is less crowded.
    Anyway, I would suggest Pateo 13, which is in Alfama. They offer authentic Portuguese cuisine and the setting is truly traditional. Also, the food is beyond amazing! Unfortunately, sometimes you have to wait for some time so that you are seated, but it is definitely worth it!

    Hi. I love your blog with great info for travellers. If you a chance to travel again to Portugal, the Azores islands well deserve your visit. 2 hours from Lisbon to Sao Miguel (the largest island on a group of 9) with a lot to see and do and certified as the best sustainable destination in Europe.

Ever wondered what it’s like to visit Mars without leaving Earth? 🚀

Welcome to Wadi Rum, Jordan — the red desert wonderland that feels like another planet. 🌌

From racing through the dunes on a 4x4 tour, to sleeping under the stars in a Martian-style tent 🛖✨, to soaring over the landscape in a hot air balloon at sunrise 🎈— this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Add Wadi Rum to your bucket list — you won’t believe it’s real until you see it.

Back in Jordan for the fourth time, and it continues to inspire me just as much as it did on my first visit in 2012! 🐪

Jordan remains one of my all-time favorite destinations thanks to its incredible diversity and rich cultural experiences.

From exploring the ancient city of Petra and floating in the healing waters of the Dead Sea, to discovering the vibrant streets of Amman, sleeping under the stars in the Wadi Rum desert, and scuba diving in the crystal-clear Red Sea in Aqaba—every journey here offers something unforgettable.

One experience I always recommend (and can’t wait to do again) is canyoning the Siq Trail in Wadi Mujib. 

There’s truly no place like Jordan. 🇯🇴✨

I’ve stamped my passport in some pretty incredible places, but nothing has changed me the way motherhood has. Oliver, being your mama is the most beautiful, joy-filled adventure I’ve ever known—and the one I’m most grateful for. Happy Mother’s Day to the journey that matters most.
