Escaping Reality: My Solo Getaway to Albufeira | Vlog |

[@RobReacts1]

The Portuguese weather must play havok with Charlie's hair! :D

[@izabela1961]

One of two most surprising countries in Europe I've discovered. The second one is Croatia. I didn't think they would be SO interesting. Portugal stole my heart to the point that I learned the language! It's good you can travel and see so many different places. 😊

Hi Charlie. Portugal's beaches look so beautiful and seaweed free. Parasailing is heaps of fun, you won't regret giving it a go.

[@CharlieandRob]

Yea lovely sandy beaches!

[@fugawiaus]

Travels all the way to Portugal and eats Thai and Italian. Hehe Hope you have a great and relaxing time.

[@CharlieandRob]

haha I will have a nandos in England to make up for it ;)

[@GamerParkenev]

Just booked my first solo holiday, going here, cant wait but also nervous xD

[@CharlieandRob]

Amazing. Hopefully this video inspired you a little. Enjoy it. Be sociable!

[@gbsailing9436]

Hi Charlie, Well done for getting away and having some fun. I'll edit this once I've finished watching it. Ok so with the parasailing (which I've done), think of it like this: Even if the rope from the boat breaks, you are basically in a parachute so you will just float down to the water, swim away from where the parachute falls and by the time you can say 1,2,3 the boat will be with you! So no dramas! I enjoyed this one. Have a great holiday!

[@CharlieandRob]

It was an amazing experience and you will see it in a few weeks 😁

I love Albufeira, we were there at Xmas 🎅 great walks, love the old town…..fair play Charlie. Can’t wait until the boat trip ⛴️

[@CharlieandRob]

We have 3 more videos of my trip. Boat video is next! Its a lovely place and the sun being out was a bonus!

[@susankemble-jones3021]

good on you Charlie, for going on your own and enjoying your time away!! I am watching you with a great deal of interest as my own trip looms closer and i can see myself doing these things also. by the way i will be in Felixtowe in July if you want to catch up with me??

[@CharlieandRob]

You must be so excited! Are you staying in Felixstowe or travelling a little? Its a bit far for us (nearly 3.5 hours away), but if your travelling down south then definately :)

[@melissaperkins4303]

Portugal looks absolutely stunning. Your confidence is growing ten fold Charlie... well done. It's a shame you couldn't go Rob but I hope you are doing a little better today than the other day. Take care guys x

[@CharlieandRob]

Still struggling but I'm glad Charlie got away. I will do my best to find some time to get away soon hopefully

[@melissaperkins4303]

@@CharlieandRob Sorry to hear you're still struggling champ. Take care x

[@loisr1560]

I hate heights and i did parasailing in bali many years ago.

[@CharlieandRob]

Well you will have to wait and see for what I thought of it 😜

[@loisr1560]

Enjoy

[@laserspewpew_7175]

The one thing I miss after moving from UK to Australia is how close to Europe I was!. Australia is amazing but just so far from Europe. So cool to be just a few hours away from so many amazing countries.

[@CharlieandRob]

It's incredible! Well hopefully our adventures can fill a small hole for you 😀

[@leandabee]

I love that you are enjoying your solo trips 😃. I'm doing a solo trip to Hawaii in August, yay🥰. That beach was beautiful when it was sunny. I have done the parasailing thing, and I am terrified of heights, but I tell you Charlie, once I was up there, I didn't want to come down. The sound of silence and feeling extremely safe, it was so sad to have to come down. I really hope you did it 👍👌

[@CharlieandRob]

Its amazing how people talk to you more when your going solo as well! Everyone wants to make sure your ok as not many people travel solo! Yes I did it and it was amazing!

[@leandabee]

@@CharlieandRob oh that's fantastic Charlie, well done 👌👏👏🥰. Did you feel a sense of total peacefulness ? Can't wait to see more adventures 😀.

[@CharlieandRob]

@@leandabee Very much so. Its what I imagine jumping out of a plane would be like at the point youre gliding down after parachute opens.

[@karensterling5597]

Thanks for your vblog iv never been here, but excited to be going nxt Wednesday with hubby. Beach looks amazing, we to ģoing do boat trip .

[@leandabee]

@@CharlieandRob 😅, yes, with the added bonus that one doesn't actually have to jump out of a plane 😀 🤗

[@lyndatravis4297]

Great video Charlie 😊

[@Teagirl009]

Never been to Portugal, so I enjoyed seeing this vlog. Looks really lovely! Some areas you showed remind me of some coastal towns in SE Qld/NSW but the architecture in other spots is very different to here of course. I also love trying local snacks and drinks in other countries! It's wonderful seeing how far Charlie has come with her confidence on camera. I love these solo trip vlogs😊. Has Rob got any solo trip ambitions/plans on the horizon too? You'll enjoy the parasailing, if you go, I did it many years ago in Australia. ⛵🛥️

[@CharlieandRob]

Thank you so much! Yes down on the beach it looks similar for sure. Rob really wants to do his own solo trip (he will probably go somewhere for the history and culture rather than sun) but he is so busy and its about finding the time :)

[@billdaniel8310]

I got drunk on Pina Coladas' in Hawaii and had a bad hangover the next day.

[@CharlieandRob]

Luckily I only had one so was fine :)

[@Kev_Newman]

Looks pretty good, but I'm not brave enough to travel to a foreign language country on my own.

[@CharlieandRob]

Not everyone is a psycho killer 😀

Always leave him at home where he belongs 😅😅 If I didn't know better, I would have assumed you were in Oz, it's not that much different

[@CharlieandRob]

You will get to see more in the next few episodes :)

[@davidjohnpaul333]

@carmie9759 Really? Because I believe it was the Dutch. Tasmania, formerly known as Van Diemen's Land, was Dutch...Portugal you say 🤔

[@davidjohnpaul333]

@@carmie9759 Thank you; I didn't know any of this ☺☺

Anyone would need a LOT of time away from Rob.

That's a bit mean
