Hey! Welcome to Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹 Come along with me for a few days in Lisbon, Portugal! I was lucky enough to be invited out for the Amazon Creator Summit, but since my flight was delayed by a strike, I ended up with some extra time for a proper solo adventure. From finding the most beautiful homeware to eating my way through the city (yes, I found the best Pastel de Natas!), I had the best time exploring. I even visited the world's oldest operating bookstore and stumbled upon a massive book fair in Eduardo VII Park. Enjoy the vlog! Brogan xx

[Disclaimer: Some of my flight and 2 (out of 4) nights of my hotel were covered by Amazon. This vlog is not sponsored.]

Places mentioned & visited:
🏨 Hotel Locke de Santa Joana - would personally skip, didn't LOVE my stay!
🥧 Pastéis de Belém (The original!) & Manteigaria
📚 Livraria Bertrand (World's oldest bookstore)
🎨 LX Factory (For the best trinkets and art)
🥩 Portugália Cervejaria Belém (that steak and the view!)
🛍️ A Vida Portuguesa (homeware)
🍦 Time Out Market

Your dress was stunning 🩵 I wanted to say Thank you for something that may sound silly, but you inspired me to break out of comfort zone. Im 56 and I've never eaten at a restaurant alone, nor have I explored a big city like San Francisco solo before. While my eldest child had surgery and was recovering , I had two days to myself in San Francisco. My natural inclination would be to hole up in my hotel room and door dash. I channeled my inner Brogan and I went out to brunch by myself and explored San Francisco on my own and it definitely helped passed the time.

Benjis nans sardine story reminded me of on our way home from Disneyland Paris my great Nan got stopped at security at the train station , she’d taken some rolls and butter at breakfast but also thought it was a great idea to steal two of their knives as well 😂😂

O’my goodness what a fantastic blog. I’ve just been looking at Lisbon for my first solo holiday and you’ve helped my decision. Looks like I’m going to Lisbon for my first solo abroad holiday. Thanks so much Brogan for showing your viewers your Lisbon trip. What amazing city to visit ❤

Great vlog as usual. You looked beautiful in your dress for the Amazon meal, it really suited you. Where is the white and blue T shirt from that had the sun on it please? I admire your confidence for exploring on your own and especially the eating on your own! I’m such a wuss I won’t even go and have coffee on my own! Can’t wait to see what you guys get up to next. Thanks for great vlogs, better than anything on the tele!
