Last weekend, I treated myself to a culinary adventure, starting with some mouthwatering pork at A Casa do Porco Bar. Then, I indulged in exquisite Japanese cuisine at Makoto san before finishing the night with an elegant Italian meal at Fasano. On another note, I’ve fallen in love with this practical raincoat—it features both inner and outer pockets.
I keep my two phones, passport, and cardholder tucked safely into the inner side pockets, while larger items like books and toiletry bags go into the mesh pocket. And for casual outings? It’s always flip-flops, shorts, and a T-shirt for me.
1️⃣ Always make sure to pack your essentials securely before heading out. Avoid carrying loose items and steer clear of poorly lit streets after dark.
2️⃣ If you’re snapping photos on the street, try to be discreet about it—and remember, taking pictures near the Sé Cathedral is best avoided.
3️⃣ While traveling by vehicle, refrain from using your phone openly. Ladies, consider keeping your phone hidden snugly in your bra for added security.
4️⃣ As soon as you board the subway, dive into a book. This simple trick helps avoid unwanted eye contact with strangers, whether they’re young men or homeless individuals.
