Travel Inspiration

Bob and Shannon came home from Europe with more than souvenirs — they came home with stories. The Mona Lisa from ten feet away. The best ramen in Genoa. A croque monsieur near Versailles. Bra money that outsmarted a Paris pickpocket. And a cane that opened doors across two countries. From Barcelona to Paris, this trip had it all — history, humor, heart, and a few hard-won travel lessons worth sharing.

Portugal blends soulful culture, stunning scenery, and surprising affordability—all in a country that’s now easier than ever to reach from the U.S., especially the West Coast.
