Throwback to one of the million beautiful streets I got to wander in Portugal 💙🇵🇹
What a handsome birdy! 😍🦚 It was my last day in Lisbon and I was making a final must-do list before catching the train to Sintra later. I almost gave the Castelo de São Jorge a miss but then read it’s home to loads of free-roaming peacocks! 🏰 I’m a big animal lover so rushed over after breakfast. I’m a history lover too but at this point I just wanted to find peacocks! Round the back of the ruins, they were everywhere! And very chill around people. They reminded me of the deer I befriended in Nara, Japan but less cheeky. A castle worker told me they reckon they have about 400 peacocks…! Swipe to see a peacock fight!

The first backstreet I snapped in Lisbon 😍 I just fell in love with classic Portuguese architecture. Similar Iberian vibes as Barcelona which I also love (but of course Barcelona is in an architectural category of its own!). Tell me which European country you think has the best looking backstreets!
Been super busy the last few weeks but I’ve still got lots of Portugal photos I want to share! Did you even go to Lisbon if you didn’t see a yellow Tram 28? 🤔🚋 🇵🇹It’s a cliched tourist thing to do but I loved riding the old trams! Reminded me of happy memories from Hong Kong 😊🇭🇰
Finally made my first reel - me chairing my team meeting today 😂 (Messed up the pinning but first try, argh) #solarpowerisasuperpower
