Two entrepreneurial girls from Odessa inspired me for a trip to Portugal. Their amazing Instagram photos of Lisbon, especially those of food and seafood, in particular, wide long beaches and breathtaking cliffs — got me booking flights and planning the whole trip just after a few weeks of observing their beautiful adventures in this country.

It is actually quite interesting to reflect on Instagram’s power and power of visualization in general — it is noticeable on such big occasions as this sudden trip and invisible for the rest of the time — but that’s how we interact with the modern world.

Currently, I live in Budapest and the main disadvantage of living here is the nearly complete absence of sea products, especially fresh fish.

Something special to eat in Lisbon

A friend of mine once told me as it to be a huge secret — when he travels to a new place — it may seems that he is interested in a new culture, people and architecture, but the truth is he is just looking for food :)

I do not know why my friend is embarrassed about such a natural drive as a desire to eat. I would like to cheer people with this desire up and appreciate it by starting this article listing special Portuguese dishes:

Desserts. My first impression — Lisbon is another desserts’ capital, along with Paris and Vienna.

Pastelarias is a place to go for breakfast, lunch, dinner or anytime one need to sweeten his life — huge selection of cakes, cookies, candies will make the work.
