There is nothing I like to do more than sitting around, staring at a body of water, reading something girlie, and eating the beach equivalent of street food. Cascais, only a 45 minute train ride from Lisbon, pairs an old-town vibe, with the sparkling Atlantic Ocean. Plus, it’s the easiest beach to get to from the big city. Fresh seafood, white sand and a laid back attitude: Cascais totally delivers!
Take a break from the art, nightlife and rich foods that Berlin has to offer, and spend a day learning about the holocaust. As the epicenter of one of the largest events in world history, Germany undoubtedly offers a perspective you could never have learned in school. Here are my recommendations for a 3-stop tour that every visitor to Berlin should take the time to do.
All the great and romantic things you have heard about Paris are true; and how fortunate of me to be in such a city while still young and pretty. 
It’s a shame, however, that even back then I wasn’t charming. Sweet Paris (pronounced pa-ree in French), thankfully, is charming enough for the both of us.
When I was in college, a Professor of mine recommended that I “go charm my way through Europe” and see what happened. So I figured, what better way to kick start my 20s than to embark on a “find-yourself” European adventure? ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS. This trip inspired me to set my 30 by 30 travel goal, and took me to eight countries on a whirlwind tour that I will never forget. What’s amazing about the UK, is how many diverse cultures make up a truly unique “British” culture. Visit London and explore the world!
Ten years ago I set a goal to visit 30 countries by my 30th birthday. With no plan or country list to fulfill this goal, I decided to let life take me where it wished.
“See Simi Travel Blog | Adventures of a travel snob“, is just that. The account of an ex-20-something year exploring the world, usually solo, and on a very limited budget.
Every other week I try to tell you a story about the friends, food, fun and fails I’ve had along the way.
