I am in the market for Sunglasses

Sun, 31 May 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [702] | Comments [1]

Once again, I am not. When it is daylight, middle-age men pull out pairs of sunglasses and try to sell them to me. At night, these guys switch to drugs. Once again, they are persistant, but yelling at them seems to do the trick. Yesterday was another ... Read more >

Baby-making Weather

Sat, 30 May 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [504] | Comments [1]

First of all, the weather here in Lisbon-there is no other way to say it, but awesome, perfect, etc. There we're two clouds in the sky all day-across the river. Maybe 3. Otherwise, it is just a blue cloudless sky. 86 degrees. No humidity. (I don't think-... Read more >

I am trying to buy some hashish

Sat, 30 May 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [561]

That must be what the message was I was conveying yesterday in Lisbon-that I am trying to buy drugs. At least 8 guys, mostly middle-age to older tried to sell me drugs.  And these guys are persistant. I found that yelling "I DON'T DO DRUGS" at the ... Read more >

Yesterday, I left the UK.  I took a 2 1/2 journey by train to London Gatwick airport, which involved changing trains at a station called Reading. The train(s) stopped at the typical England villages, with a car park, nice town square, some with ... Read more >

Paradise Lost

Wed, 27 May 2015 | By foreverloafer | Views [225] | Scholarship Entry

People my age dream of going to Ibiza and party their souls out with the alcohol amount that would paralyse a horse. But I am more of a peaceful traveller, and moreover, a hungry explorer, feeling guilty when sleeping in and wearing the comfort shoes ... Read more >

Cheira bem, cheira a Lisboa! - A not common guide

Tue, 26 May 2015 | By miribarone | Views [188] | Scholarship Entry

Lisbon is a magical city. Her exactly definition is "the Empire at the end of the decadence", as Verlaine would have said. It's not a big city, a metropolis like you can imagine London, or Paris, or Milan. It's more like a hamlet where you have to lost ... Read more >

Hidden love

Tue, 26 May 2015 | By betternotstop | Views [226] | Scholarship Entry

At age of 24, I found myself living in Italy. I could easily describe the wonderful landscapes in Rieti ( the city that I live), the delicious italian pasta (or pizza, or ice creams), or the turist bustle that is Rome on sundays ( and not only) to see ... Read more >

There is something uniquely beautiful about stumbling upon a discovery, an uncharted piece of the world that suddenly becomes available to you. The beauty is especially palpable when it happens without a plan, a happy accident that you had the good fortune ... Read more >

Cabo da Roca, Portugal

Tue, 26 May 2015 | By karineben | Views [215] | Scholarship Entry

Like most 20-somethings, I woke up one morning and decided I needed to discover the meaning of life. And how does one accomplish such a feat? By backpacking through Europe, of course. After my first summer of searching high and low in museums and hostels, ... Read more >

Praia Unknown

Mon, 25 May 2015 | By tomasu | Views [183] | Scholarship Entry

Either the locals don’t even know where it is, or are seriously trying to keep this hidden beauty a secret. Three taxi attempts later and with the rough guidance to a nearby village using Google Maps, we were finally on our way. Money wasn't exactly ... Read more >
