TopTourist Attractionsin Lisbon
The capital of sunny Portugal, Lisbon is situated at the point where the Tagus River estuary meets the Atlantic Ocean. As a travel destination, the riverfront city is as rich and varied as the country’s long history. From the ruins of a Moorish castle perched atop, one of the city’s seven hills to a sidewalk café snuggled against an ancient Visigoth wall, remnants of Lisbon’s colorful past are everywhere. While Western Europe’s oldest city has taken steps to overhaul its transportation system, modernize its downtown area and revamp its waterfront, it’s the charm of Lisbon’s oldest neighborhoods that most attract visitors.

Now, I’m nobody’s food chef or connoisseur. I’m usually an “eat the beans straight from the can” kind of guy. Only when I’m absolutely popping with ingenuity, will I mix an egg into my ramen and pat myself on the back for being a culinary genius. Bon appétit.

My Dream Destination: The Republic of Udmurtia, Russia
My long term goal is to travel to as many of the Soviet republics as possible. The republic of Udmurtia in central Russia is one of the republics I have the desire to visit in the near future. At the beginning of my young adulthood, I began to explore and research various Soviet republics besides Yakutia, Chechnya and Dagestan. After randomly finding pictures of the Udmurt people on Google, I started virtually travelling to Udmurtia by viewing photographs and watching Udmurt language tutorials on YouTube. Although English travel YouTuber and Soviet culture and history enthusiast Bald and Bankrupt has been a huge inspiration to further pursuing my love for Soviet culture, I've been dreaming to travel to the diverse Soviet republics and exploring the diverse and unique cultures of Russia way before discovering Bald and Bankrupt.

“I may only see you two more times in my lifetime.” I stood across from my friend as she whipped the creamy scrambled eggs that we were about to eat. Tomorrow was her birthday, and we were having brunch in her kitchen. It was the first time since the beginning of COVID that I had been inside her house (except for the occasional feeding of her two cats, Pablo and Lulu when they were away).
