I’ve never been to mainland Portugal but hear that Lisbon and Porto are incredible. I don’t know if you’ll have time, but Madeira is breathtaking. I was there a few years ago and loved visiting Old Blandy’s wine lodge to see how port wine is made and enjoy the generous pours after. Picturesque island with friendly people

I'm heading there in two weeks. Lisbon. Portal then Lagos

Porto, Sintra, Algarve

Porto was beautiful. We did a free walking tour and really got a sense of the history and places to explore later. Plus I’d go back for the Francesinha sandwich alone!

We did north to south: Porto, aveiro, coimbra, obidos, sintra, lisbon.

Algarve!!!! The coast is beautiful

Ok so. I have been on this journey for almost a year now to try and 'get to know and love myself' and I'm not there yet. I separated from my ex in March of 2020 and divorce was finalized in October 2020. I'm still sad, lost, angry etc. I'm trying/tried therapy, meditation, ayurveda, self help videos, books, but I'm not happy with myself and I don't think I know myself. I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!
