Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found within the pages of a passport, beneath cobblestone alleys and the corners of withered castle walls. That’s where true history still remains. The best stories are those you travel to venture the world to experience and create with the memories shared… The world is…
Traveling to…the intriguing Covão dos Conchos & hiking the beautiful Serra da Estrela
Summer officially meets its end for the year next week, and even if the weather has been anything but sunshine this last week, I’ve been hanging on to sweet summertime for dear life. I didn’t do much traveling this summer, but the month I was fortunate to spend in Portugal was more than how I’d…
