It's been 10 years since I posted about my travels. I have been in Mexico City for most of this time, and with a little one for the past 3 years, and so I have done more local travel than anything. In 2020, with lockdowns, economic downturns, and the hassle associated with travel, I have traveled even less. Yesterday I got on my first travel virtual travel experience, via Airbnb.
This was my second shortest trip to Lisbon, the first was featured on this blog. I started the day cooking Portuguese food, listening to fado, looking at old pictures, and making drawings of the city. When the time came for the experience I was in Portugal in my mind.
While the host could have been more engaging and inclusive, it was still nice to travel in my mind. I also got to make drawings pending from my first visit to Lisbon, almost 15 years ago!!
I learned about the geography of Lisbon, about the history of the azulejos, the beautiful colored tiles covering buildings, cork-making, Portuguese wine, a local festival, revisited the different neighborhoods and got more into fado music.
This inspired me to organize a Mexico City virtual trip, so stay tuned.
