Driving from North to South in Portugal
When my friends and I decided to book a trip to Portugal, we had a hard time choosing where we wanted to go. The choice between a city trip in Porto or Lisbon, or spending a week at the beach in Algarve was a hard one to make. Instead, we decided to cover it all. Cities, small fishing villages, and many opportunities for swimming in the atlantic ocean. We spent 10 days in Portugal and we visited in September. I recommend bringing warmer clothes alongside your swimgear and summer clothes at this time of year. Below you'll find our itinerary with tips and tricks along the way.

Forget the Snow: Why Your Next New Year’s Should Be an Aussie Summer
If you grew up in the Northern Hemisphere, New Year’s Eve probably makes you think of thick coats, scarves, and trying not to freeze while you wait for the clock to strike midnight. But down here in Australia, we do things a little differently. December 31st is right in the middle of our summer. So, instead of hot cocoa, we’ve got cold drinks. Instead of snow, we’ve got sand.
