Bouncing Around Portugal

Portugal has a way of surprising you at every turn, castles, cathedrals, coastline, and history woven into every village and stone walkway. Here are a few snapshots from my journey, each one a reminder of how much beauty is packed into this country.




Cabo da Roca

Portugal’s westernmost point, and the most western part of Europe.
It’s said you must touch the monument to make it official, so of course… I did.



Turrets and Hidden Kitchens

The turrets on top of this home represent where the kitchens are located. Something about this house feels a little spicy, in the best way.



One of Many Forts

Portugal is full of forts, strong, weathered, and still standing like quiet guardians of the coastline.



Lisbon Cathedral

A breathtaking reminder that history here isn’t just remembered, it’s lived.



A Portuguese Palace

Grandeur, detail, and timeless architecture that makes you pause in awe.



Chapel of the Royal Palace

A sacred space filled with stillness and beauty.



Entryway to the Palace

This statue is said to represent the elements of the earth, or perhaps those who supported the ones who were out at sea.

Either way, it feels like a symbol of strength, grounding, and devotion.






View from the Palace Courtyard

Even the courtyard was impressive, and much larger than it appears in photos.





The Caves

A final reminder that Portugal’s magic isn’t only in its cities, it’s also carved into its coastline.


Love & Light

Les Bassins de Lumières in Bordeaux

Les Bassins de Lumières, Bordeaux: Where History Meets Art Les Bassins de Lumières in Bordeaux is a place where history and art collide in the most unforgettable way. Located in an old port district north of Bordeaux, this enormous building once served as a submarine base during World War II. It was originally built for Italian submarines, a massive structure designed to disappear from view. The scale of it is hard to comprehend until you’re standing inside. At its peak, 32 submarines could hide beneath the structure’s bomb-proof, iron-reinforced concrete roof , nearly nine feet thick. The space was built by an estimated 6,500 workers , many of whom were Spanish laborers, including Republican prisoners. The building itself was reinforced by 2,000 concrete piles driven deep into the ground, a reminder of both the engineering and the human cost behind its creation. Today, the building still feels cold, dark, damp, and water-filled. The air carries a heaviness. You can feel the magni...

From Portugal to Paradise: Finding Zen in Chacala, Mexico Where’s Waldo? Remember the beloved character created by Martin Handford, brought to life in the 1991 animated series with Townsend Coleman, Jim Cummings, Brad Garrett, and Julian Holloway? That’s honestly how my travels have felt lately, bouncing from one place to the next, always searching for the next adventure, the next moment of wonder. I believe we left off in Portugal, which was a wonderful place to be indeed. So wonderful, in fact, that I’m heading back in September. But after Portugal, I went somewhere completely different. Mexico. My warm-weather bags were already packed, so the transition was easy. I landed back in Boston, stayed for four days, and then it was off to find my version of “Zen.” This trip was exactly what my body and spirit needed, a chance to reset and reconnect through yoga, nourishing meals, long walks on the beach, and early morning volcano sunrises. I flew into Puerto Vallarta and took a hot, sw...

Tiles, Tiles, and More Tiles: Lisbon’s Azulejo Magic Tiles, tiles, and more tiles. I love it. Lisbon has completely captured me, especially the stunning 15th to 17th century homes decorated with tile facades. Everywhere you turn, there’s another building covered in intricate patterns and bold colors, like the city is wrapped in art. One of my favorite moments was seeing an authentic elderly woman sitting outside, watching traffic pass by as if she had been there for decades, quietly witnessing the world move along. Something about it felt so timeless, like Lisbon itself. Behind the Scenes at a Tile Shop I spent some time at a local tile shop, watching the process unfold. Portuguese tiles are everywhere here, and they’re not just decorative, they’re woven into the architecture and history of the city. You’ll find them on palaces, churches, buildings, and homes, each one telling a story in its own way. These tin-glazed painted ceramic tiles are known as azulejos , and they are one o...
