Loved all your videos on Lisbon. You have definitely helped me plan for my trip in 2024. Glad you didn’t end up in Portugal jail 😂

I appreciate the realness of the closed burger king, missed train, train station map & details. Thank you!

[@caroleshields1668]

I’m so glad you decided to go to the Palace. I really enjoyed this vlog. I will be watching so all of your Portugal videos. Planning to visit Lisbon Cascais and Sintra in October. Thanks for the tips. Trying to decide if we should spend the night in Sintra

[@rveal242]

[@jpinfinitivlogs]

[@profhortsunlover1536]

I'm older lady [in my 50's] and planning my 1st solo beach vacation but i'm a bit too afraid to book something, your vlogs are giving me inspiration ty for sharing with us. x

[@profhortsunlover1536]

Loving these, you're giving me itchy feet!!! I am loving your enthusiasm! When's your next solo trip? Count me in!

[@luismedeiros7139]

Really enjoyed your video it's a shame being in Portugal and have Starbucks coffee, hehe I'm glad you enjoy your stay

[@YolandaMichel-sz8qz]

Hi, I’m going to Portugal in a couple of months. Looks like a wonderful place! I know I’m late to the party though😊

[@daviddittman]

Did you know J K Rowling lived in Portugl before she moved to Edinburgh, Scotland. So much of both countries in Harry Potter

[@thejuliacarter]

Yes! I discuss JK in my Porto, Portugal VLOG and how it's rumored that Porto inspired a lot of her scenery in HP. I also did a Harry Potter themed tour of Porto while I was there 😊

[@SERGIO-cr6uy]

FYI: JK Rowling confirmed via tweet that she has never been in the Library Lello (Porto), as some may have said, so she didn't use the "library stairs" for Happy Potter. But she was inspired by Coimbra university Outfits for HP. Another "FYI", Ian fleming, the autor of James Bond, was in the Palácio Estoril (Hotel) during WW2 (1941). That hotel was a spy nest, as Portugal was neutral during WW2. Ian Fleming was inspired by that to write the James Bond Series.

[@annap8328]

OMG, she goes all the way to Portugal to eat at Burger King: Girl you got to reflect on that! 😱

[@angelajones201]

Maybe you should reflect on being so negative.

[@adeneden7389]

Get it big sis!

[@thejuliacarter]

❤️❤️

[@lamarjackson6874]

I learned so much from watching this

[@thejuliacarter]

😊😊

[@philtyke747]

Walt Disney visited and used the image to create Cinderallas Palace .

[@cfmcabrita]

Just shame you didn't entered the Pena Palace... It's quite impressive inside

[@robertjetson7143]

Hi, did you film this with your g7x ii? If so good quality content. Brings out them beautiful features of yourself 😃

[@thejuliacarter]

Yes, I did!

[@victoriaaletaaustria2817]

You still have another day to your trip, why not bring enough local currency ESPECIALLY that's an out-of-town trip to Sintra. You could have not extra local currency IF YOU HAVE COMPUTED to the last cent the fares required, but as it is you run short. Likewise, you could have save yourself some blunders by researching. If you have the Viva Viagem card (can be used for trains, trams, buses, boats), there's no worry to have change, as long as there's stored amount you put. It's more expensive for single use ticket.

[@myopinion8761]

Burger King in one of the countries offering the best food in the world? Wow!! 😞

[@standelasanantone2180]

Good info… liked some of the video -would’ve been great to see the sights and scenery in real-time (not in fast forward)… also, show more shots of buildings, people, etc instead of talking directly into the camera; we wanna see the places

[@kenhart8771]

You didn’t really show anything and your knowledge of Sintra is very limited. Sounds more like you will never be back.

I’m a tourist not a guide.
