Lisbon, Portugal | Solo Travel Vlog 2021

[@sharonlaudat3297]

As a fellow solo traveler, it feels so great to know that many sisters are doing the same! There such a sense a freedom when you achieve this step. Happy travels!

[@JazmilSosa]

I agree, it's very liberating. Thank you!! Happy travels to you as well 💛

[@timstalam]

As a fellow traveller heading out to Lisbon this coming week for a 7 day trip, this is exactly the vibe I needed as a send off - great vlog! Warm wishes

[@JazmilSosa]

Thank you 😊 safe travels, enjoy Lisbon!

Portugal is literally on the top of my list of places to go. Love seeing black women solo travel 💗💗💗

[@JazmilSosa]

Same, brings me so much joy 💛💛

[@mardigras33]

I have NEVER EVER watched a travel vlog for more than 10-20 minutes. This was so refreshing to watch! I kept rewinding and fast forwarding all day!

[@JazmilSosa]

Thank you!!

[@janicedennis371]

Awesome!! Portugal is beautiful. Thanks for taking me along on your travels. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation.

[@JazmilSosa]

My pleasure! Thank you, Janice ☺️💛

[@2Blessed2BeStressful]

Awesome! I searched for Lisbon travel vlogs since i am heading there to work remotely for a few weeks starting in a few days and saw your video! I have been looking for Black girl Lisbon solo travel vlogs and I find you and your hour plus video! Amen!

[@JazmilSosa]

🥰 Amazing, enjoy Lisbon! ☺

[@iamchanel_b]

Going to Lisbon for a solo trip in 3.5 weeks! Found this video and it was a gem 💎! Thank you girl & you are so beautiful! Thank you for the info , it was great and very detailed!

[@JazmilSosa]

Thank you so much 💛☺I'm glad you found it helpful. Hope you have an amazing trip!

[@aziajs]

Omg. This vlog was everything. The video shots, the editing, the music, the activities, the food - I felt the vibe. You've definitely made me want to go. I keep seeing Lisbon pop up as a great place for black women to travel solo and you made me a believer. Plus you did the things I would do if I went and I loved that you Ubered and took public transit.

[@JazmilSosa]

Thank you!!! 🥰💛 Yes, Lisbon is definitely Black girl friendly, definitely recommend for solo travel

[@JamiceofCourse]

Just subscribed! I am heading to Lisbon myself soon on a solo trip and I am super grateful for this detailed and magical vlog!

[@JazmilSosa]

Thank you 🥰 welcome! I hope you have the best time!!

[@arturrosa3166]

When you showed those "pastéis de nata" that the hotel gave you and you said "I'll save them to tomorrow" I was like "nooooo!" and I had to pause and write this. That almost felt like a sin to my portuguese soul. :-) Pastéis de nata are best when fresh because they're crusty and much more tasty.

[@JazmilSosa]

😂 I was going to eat some later that day with a friend so I had to save them. I still enjoyed them the next day but you’re right, they’re definitely more tasty when fresh

[@kathyj3573]

Nice travel vlog. Thanks for documenting so much! Beautiful looking hotel, destinations, restaurants and food!

[@JazmilSosa]

Thank you 🥰💛

[@TyHardNeNe]

I typically scroll pass vlogs longer than 20 minutes but I truly enjoyed this! I'm planning a trip to Lisbon so this was so helpful. Thanks for sharing

[@JazmilSosa]

Thank you ☺️😊

[@jasonpillow768]

I've never commented on KZbin content before. and seldom ever socal media period. This vlog spoke directly to "me" on so many different levels. Right down to the "Two Sugars" joint. Thank you for indirectly embracing me with your "you". Wishing you plenty of peace and blessings 🙏🏽 from that South Shore Guy.

[@luisramos1609]

There's a lot to see and do in and around Lisbon, not to mention many other cities and villages throughout the country. You need to go back.

[@qmatii]

So DOPE! You captured everything perfectly. I have the attention span of an ant but watched until the end. Portugal is my next adventure, so this shed some light. Thanks for taking us along. Safe Travels

[@AllisonBorden]

Such a great travel vlog! I was a little skeptical at first clicking on the video because of the length but you got some amazing footage, you were engaging and it was beautifully edited, it didn’t feel like an hour! I’m going in March to celebrate my 30th so this was very helpful and got me excited for the upcoming trip ☺️

[@JazmilSosa]

Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed it, hope you have a great trip, happy early birthday!

[@jameshall2299]

Great video. Gorgeous. Oh, and Lisbon looked good too!

[@JazmilSosa]

Thank you ☺️

[@TahitiaRose]

Hey Jazmil! What a beautiful place! The architecture and scenery were just everything. I was just in awe the whole time I was watching. I really need to travel way more than I have and stop talking about it. I've always been so scared to travel solo though. You make it look so easy..lol. The rock climbing looked like a lot of fun. You did a great job. Was your heart beating out of your chest, lol? I love seafood also, so I would have been in heaven. I've had calamari before, but never Octopus, it's definitely something I would have wanted to try out of the country for the first time, instead of the states. Loved your outfits as usual. I really liked the brown dress combo and also the jumpsuit . Now you got me on the website of the shop looking at those tile trays. lol. Any-who, thanks for taking us along on your travels. ✌🏾💚

[@JazmilSosa]

Hey Tiff!! Portugal is breathtaking, beautiful views and scenery all around. I encourage you to travel if you can, the world is so big and there's so much to see and experience, I think Portugal is a great destination to go solo. This is my second solo trip and I liked it much better than the first country I went to. I was scared as hell when I was coming down those rocks lol but it was such a fun experience, I'd do it again. OMG the food was exquisite!!! Such amazing food everywhere I went. The customized tiles are so nice, I'm in love with the tray I got, you know I love home decor so I had to get something to bring back. Thanks for watching 🥰☺️💛

[@SeArCh4DrEaMz]

More details about the food please !!! I dont know why, but I cant get enough of those travel vlogs in europe !

[@TugarunnerLx]

Just simple and sophisticated that you are. I was delighted with your way of seeing my Lisbon. Hope you come back again, believe me, you won a city on your heart. Obrigado pela visita

[@JazmilSosa]

Thank you ☺️💛 definitely, solo travel is so much fun, very empowering. I think Portugal is a great destination for your first solo travel experience. I met a lot of women who were traveling there solo, it’s very safe and people are friendly and welcoming

[@aquaabundance4077]

Hey Wanderlust, I'd also recommend Iceland for a first solo trip. That was my college graduation gift to myself and I had a ball. If you like nature - waterfalls, geysers, black sand beaches and spas (Blue Lagoon). That's the spot

[@KhayMonae]

I love seeing the joy and fun you are having wile traveling and experiencing new things. This vlog really is getting me more hopeful and excited for my solo travel adventures I have planned.

I really enjoyed this travel video. May I ask, what camera equipment you use? The video is so clear. I have put off Lisbon for so long. I really want to go. Do I need to know Spanish or Portuguese??? Do want to have a language barrier like when I traveled to Barcelona.

[@JazmilSosa]

Thank you! I used my Canon G7X Mark II camera and my iPhone interchangeably. Everybody I encountered spoke English so knowing how to speak Portuguese is not a must to be able to get around

[@quadewelcome4150]

What a gorgeous woman. And a gorgeous trip. I'm interested in the COVID19 restrictions since I have a layover through Lisbon from Paris. Can you tell us more about what process you had to go through? Did you have to show a digital vaccination pass to get into the restaurants you went into. I see you were wearing your mask sometimes. What should I expect. So beautiful. Thank you.

[@JazmilSosa]

Thank you 😊 yes, I was asked for a negative test to enter Portugal and for my vaccination card when I first checked into the hotel. To dine inside at restaurants I was able to show the digital pass and had no issues. Make sure you have both just to be safe. Enjoy your layover!

[@quadewelcome4150]

@@JazmilSosa Thank you 😊

[@TravelDolo]

Im thinking of passing on Italy and going to Portugal next month. Were they strict on showing negative test result to go inside places?

[@JazmilSosa]

I was actually supposed to be going to Italy instead of Portugal 😅 yes, to dine inside they ask for your digital pass or vaccine card but not a negative test. I only showed the negative test to fly in and out of Portugal

Hi love I know you’ve mentioned Uber, but I usually like Lyft better ! Does the app automatically update your location so that you can request a ride over in Portugal? Since right now I’m located in the USA is only picking up locations in the states

Hey, yes both Lyft and Uber adjust to the location you are requesting a ride from as long as the service is supported in the country you are in
