portugal with our toddler and how we ended up at urgent care :(

this is so not the cute portugal vlog I was planning on filming! what started off as a fun trip to lisbon and comporta as a family turned into an unfortunate introduction to the healthcare system in portugal and the netherlands. so instead of showing you cute places to visit while traveling here, I share about our experience dealing with doctors and antibiotics and all the things. honestly though, this has been a helpful experience as we consider moving to europe long term, but man has it been stressful!
I will share some portugal recs here though to try and redeem this vlog in some way :)
LISBON
- favorite breakfast of all time: www.instagram....

Happy to hear Nico is well! This is very useful info as we plan our trip to Portugal. All your feelings were valid.

I’m so sorry it was such a stressful trip…so scary when your baby is sick 😢 hope he is completely healing! Your adventures are so inspiring. We’re seriously considering moving to Portugal with our baby girl 🤎

So sweet, thank you! He’s doing so much better now! Ahh that’s amazing you all are considering that. It’s just such a beautiful country. We just need to go back now and explore more under better circumstances 😅

Glad the baby is better now! I can affirm it’s scary when your baby can’t tell what’s wrong!
