I went to Portugal for my honeymoon and this is making me so nostalgic!! Definitely the best place I’ve ever travelled, such a great mix of city, beach, nature and history. I can’t wait to go back!
Nadia - The View Is Beautiful welcome back anytime every time I'm back home in New York I can't wait to go back to portugal I fly back and forth every three months
I am from Portugal , i live in Porto and it is sooo nice to hear these words!!!! Ty so much you just made my day better!!!😍😍😍
Did you stay at a specific hotel, or get an AirBnB?
Monica Gutierrez We stayed at the Epic Sana in Lisbon & the one in the Algarve, it was off peak season (last week of September) so we were able to get a really good deal and didn’t have to fight anyone for pool loungers 👌🏼
@@vanessaloureiro1464 wanna see your city
I just traveled to Portugal this past June! Of all of the cities and countries in Europe that I've ever traveled to, it has been my favorite! I went to Porto and Lisbon as well as the Island of Madeira. Thank you so much for sharing, I loved seeing familiar places!
I'm from Madeira Island but currently not living there, I never realized amazing it is until I leave. Did you enjoy it?
@@MyLuis2000 Oh my goodness, yes it was amazing! Such a relaxing part of our trip. Nice cafe's and the scenery was just unbelievable!
I live in Madeira but I'm from Lisbon and I kinda prefer Lisbon :/
Jen Sheridan I would love to get in touch with you somehow and ask you for some travel tips with Madeira!!! Could you DM me!!!? That would be awesome!! My Instagram: Krysell
I literally jumped as soon as I saw the title of the video! Sending lots of love from Portugal!
Your country is beautiful!!
PLEASE make a video on why you decided to go on solo trips, tips, etc. I really am considering going on a road trip alone because no one ever wants to and life is too short! I need some advice and inspiration ✌️✌️
Hello :) that was exactly why i started solo tripping. These are my most treasured memories. I discovered what i am capable of doing. If you questions, i will answer :)
That's going to be my next video!! Don't worry, I'm definitely going to convince you to do it. 😄
I'm here because I will be going on a holiday to Lisbon and Porto on my own in a month. As you say, coordinating with friends is not easy and therefore I have been on quite a few solo holidays. There is a lot to like about them. A few years ago I did a road trip to Paris, Bruges and Luxembourg (I'm from Southern Germany) and had a brilliant time. Getting to make all the decisions yourself is definitely cool. Most important is that you embrace going to restaurants on your own. Might feel a bit weird the first time, but you'll get over it, and you cannot miss out on all the great local food, wherever you go!
I'll go with youu
Sarah R Did you ever make it? I was planning on traveling to Portugal this summer, then C-19 altered things. I’ll be going solo, I’ve heard safety is not an issue, it looks wonderful doesn’t it?
I live in Portugal and it's such a great feeling to see that people enjoy our country and our culture! ❤️
My country 😍
So glad you enjoy!! 😘🇵🇹

@@HEALTH.TIPS.english I was on vacation in Portugal
I was in Portugal this past July, so beautiful!
Love Portugal...and the azores islands from Portugal as well.
You cannot miss Madeira Island in Portugal elected best Island destination in the World for 6th time in a row.
My husband and I went there last year! Beautiful beaches and caves. Definitely need to take advantage of cheap flights from Germany. But Washington is forever my home. Also, rent mopeds people! Great way to get around & it's fun!
Portugal looks amazing. Love your editing on this.
Thank you!
digitalteacup everyone under rates Portugal but don't realize how amazing it is
@@antoniodasilva1230 I was on vacation in Portugal
Portugal is so beautiful! So proud of my country🇵🇹😍😍😍
Love this!! I grew up in a Portuguese neighborhood in the states and have had my share of pastel de nata 😉 Maybe I'll take a trip to the actual country. It's beautiful! Also loved your editing.
thebricktable Don't keep it as a maybe only and make that trip to Portugal a must :) If you go closer to the summer (avoid august too many people) take a few days to enjoy the beaches not only close to Lisbon but also in the Algarve region where Lagos city is (some of the most beautiful beaches in the world are in or close to Lagos) PS : the Pastel de Nata is traditional from Lisbon, nowadays you'll find it allover the country but my advice is to eat it there ;) Welcome to Portugal anytime
I have visited several countries, and I can assure you that Portuguese people are the most hospitable, pleasant, and inviting people I have ever met. utmost admiration for this nation and its lovely, loving locations.
I'd love to see a video about solo travel tips. My biggest concern about traveling alone is always safety, especially as a female, and I'd love to see you touch on that.
Well Portugal is considered one of the safest countries in the world
...
You need to turn your channel into a travel vlog/channel. I've become SOOO addicted to those types of videos.
I studied abroad in Portugal for a few months while I was in grad school, we actually lived in Porto!! This brought back so many wonderful memories =)
I'm from Portugal and this videos make me so happy n proud :) ty
Portugal has been on my list for awhile but after finding and watching this, I'm 100% convinced! What a fab travel video!
I was there this summer. And did all those places. And now I'm super nostalgic! Portugal was beautiful. I loved it :)
My friends and I are trying to go next year. How much would you say you spent in US dollars? Thank you!
@@zicethmendoza4407 I was on vacation in Portugal
nice to see my country aprecciated! portugal will always welcome you back!
Just came back from Portugal last week and absolutely loved it!! So much so that I am going back for a surf trip at the end of the summer lol
I am absolutely in love with you and your videos. Please keep making them as they bring smile on my face.
This trip looked absolutely amazing! You’ve convinced me to go to Portugal!
Hey girl! Just found your channel and I’m amazed! Really like the way you edit. It’s simple, calming and not too long! You have gain a new subscriber eheh 😋 ! Kisses from Portugal 🇵🇹!!
I'm so glad you liked my country! Lots of love from Portugal ♥️
she is such a positive vibe
Omg I loved this vlog...specially from my city...LISBON!! and YAAASSS you had a pastel de nata🤩 woohhoooo
My gosh, Portugal not the only thing stunning, you're gorgeous Allison! I'll be in Lisbon for 10 days, leaving tomorrow morning. Thank you for the beautiful video, praying for safe travels and plenty of good experiences and character growth!
I am very glad you liked the country where I was born ;-)
I love solo traveling too. Although I like to stay in a country for several weeks or months and sometimes a year. It makes me really adjust and learn about the culture.
Traveling solo has so many advantages. Loving it too!
Hi Rachel. People have jobs, families and they are not rich. Not sure who this comment is meant to help.
@@Kevinschart I noticed your reply to my comment from 3 years ago so I 'm really not sure anymore what this video was about and why I commented. Having said that, and being 3 years later, I can say that I have quit my job and travel the world. I escaped and found FREEDOM!
Yes, I had a high paying job but it didn't make me happy and I know many are sitting in jobs and feeling miserable.
There IS a way out and I talk about it on my RUclips channel.
If you have a PLAN and take steps, just like I did, you will be able to quit and travel or do whatever you want to do, such as spend more time with your family.
And no, I'm not selling any investment or MLM or any of that!
All I'm saying is you can escape if you want to.
Ahh perfect timing, i was telling my husband we need a getaway without the kids and proposed Lisbonne 😍 thanks for the video, it's gonna be easy to convince him now 😁
My jaw dropped with the view of the arches area!!!
Thanks so much! Taking my first SOLO trip to Lisbon this fall. Scared but excited!!
❤🇵🇹 Thank you for coming :)
Wow Portugal looks so beautiful 😍 we almost went last year but ended up going to Italy instead. Portugal is definitely on my list once we can travel again!
"This is not a castle, you are not Beyoncé".. All things we need to remind ourselves of once in a while. xD haha! Love those quirky notes! I wanna visit Lisbon someday too, I have ancestors from there, and I could put my shitty portuguese to use xD
the notes are from a Portuguese artist named Wasted Rita! Her work is brilliant! www.wastedrita.com
Can you please do a solo travel tips video? Love your channel!🥰
I love how great you are at getting off the couch and doin’ stuff!! Sometimes when I travel I get nervous and find myself in comfortable spots..like shopping and restaurants. But I love how you go for it! And your dedication to catch the sunrise and sunset. High five!!
Can you share what shoes are your go to walking lots/sightseeing/still cute for your trips?? When you went to the forest area I wondered because I’m always asking myself that. Usually I wear Blundstones.
Haha thank you! It's funny, when I'm home in Seattle I can never be bothered to get up early but when I travel I have a 5am alarm every single day. I guess when you're doing something you love, you can drag yourself out of bed!
I'm from portugal and I hope you liked the visit and I hope you come again!
I am portuguese and i am glad you like it!!
This was the first video that I saw of yours… And I totally love it! I travel solo a lot! And love some of the places that you have on your blog… Can’t wait to check them out.
The quality of the filming and the editing is beyond amazing! Especially since you were filming by yourself. 👏
Thank you!! That means so much to me. For years I never considered travel blogging because I didn't have anyone to help me shoot on trips. I've made a huge effort to learn to capture footage by myself. So really, I appreciate it!!
Allison Anderson keep doing whatever you are doing it is awesome and inspiring for next traveling ideas. I traveled and still travel a lot alone. So i am taking notes!
OMG a fellow Mary Kate and Ashley 90s kid fan yessss, the reference is fabulous :)
Next time you go to Portugal, you should visit Madeira Island! It is beautiful and warm, called the Garden Of the Atlantic Ocean. A hidden gem I would say.
I just explored Portugal for the first time this summer and actually got engaged in Algarve. Seeing this just put a huge smile on my face. It’s such a beautiful country!!
Algarve beaches are spectacular
What a magical place to get engaged!! Congratulations!
Allison Anderson it definitely was! Thank you!!
Lagos represent 🔥
Omg! That water looks AMAZING 💚 beautiful place!
I just came from Lisbon two weeks ago! Such a beautiful city! Now I wish I went to all these other cities! 😍😍
I'm from Sintra!!! I'm so glad you liked it!!!
Absolutely stunning!!
Please make a solo traveling as a female video!! I love traveling but a lot of my friends/family are not able to/don't have the money to travel. I've always been afraid of doing trips alone so any advice you have is so greatly appreciated!
I am heading to Portugal in February and cannot wait. This blog made me even more excited for my trip!
I loved Mary Kate and Ashley's Our Lips Are Sealed! They made a lot of kids our age travel-curious back then. So glad you went :)
This was glorious Allison! Breath-taking footage especially from the Algarve!
Wow, Allison, it must've been an amazing trip! Portugal looks absolutely breathtaking!!!
Portugal is beautiful😍😍🇵🇹
loved this video! I'm going on my first solo trip, to Puerto Rico, in January and am very excited!
I've always loved your vids and am all about the travel ones! I've been to Lisbon and Sintra- both are amazing!
Ah finally, THIS is what I want to see on my backpacking trip. Standing up on a paddle boarding with others to get to a CAVE? Oh my god I’m crying.
Thank you thank you for this beautifully edited video. Portugal was on my list but now I must plan a solo trip. I cannot wait to read your itinerary on the new blog. Id love to plan one loosely based on your trip! Thanks for doing the research leg work for me. Hehe kidding aside, you’re the best! Love your travel series!
I really enjoy this style of editing and how you talk about your travels! I would love to see more videos like this! 😄
This hotel is just mind blowing 😯
Good job! I liked the way you described the country and cities...
Thanks a bunch!
Namaste from Kolkata 🙏 Portugal is so positive. Vibes are kind of amazing.

Allison , I really enjoyed watching this video so much. So real and natural. Nowadays lots of travel vlogs are more sponsors videos of advertising. You are so brave for taking a solo trip. ❤️
My solo travel to Portugal was so memorable. I really enjoyed this video.

This was beautiful!! You’re so talented! The editing on this video is unreal! 👏🏼

Well done! It's hard for me to decide which is better, Algarve, Porto, or Lisbon. I throughly enjoyed each city, all different but great places!
You are so good at editing and taking footage of yourself!
Hi Allisson , it was a real pleasure to have you here at the Benagil caves , looking forward to see you again , there is more to sea😃
Please tag Blue Xperiences so people come to try your experience... thanks and stay safe
Wow I'm from Portugal and I didn't knew you could climb that bridge. I totally have to do it someday
Those castles were worth the incline though! Georgeous! 😍
went to Portugal a few weeks ago and watching this because I miss it so much :(((
This is so lovely. Thank you for sharing your experience. Portugal is on my bucket list. :)
This video is beautifully shot and edited! Do you have any tips and tricks for shooting solo? I couldn't help but worry that someone would make off with your camera at 3:36!!
Hi, I live in Portugal but in Madeira, that is an island, it is really paradisiac but it has a lot of forest to explore. It’s beautiful! You should come here!
Looks gorgeous!! Glad you're having fun! Be safe!!💖
My parents are from Portugal I miss Portugal so much!!!
Love this one ! Totally reminds me of our last vacation.. Great Job.
I´m really happy that you enjoyed my country Portugal! It´s amazing, especially Lisbon, I have a soft spot for it because that's where I grew up ahah!
Can you make a travel essentials video? And a tips for solo traveling video? Both would be so helpful!!
You make us to be there for whole video.Thank you so much.
Love it! I decided to go to Lagos after watching your video! ❤May I ask which tour did you join for the stand-up paddle-boarding? Thank you 🙏
Portugal is so beautiful and the people are so nice. But I was there in August and it was smacked with tourists and it was so hot. We were so exhausted at the end of the day, because we chose to walk everywhere in Lisbon . We were in Lisbon ,Sintra and Cascais. Magical places
...but you got those amazing blue skies. Light is Lisbon is diferent from other places, super bright
I am going to be in Portugal soon! so excited!
My beautiful country!! Sending love from Lisbon 😍😍❤️
