Travel is my favorite kind of bug.

Welcome to my travel blog!  I quit my job in NYC to go on a 100-day travel adventure, and I will be documenting, inspiring and sharing as I go.

Today I am in:  New York City

DAY 74:  THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RESORT TOWN I’VE EVER SEEN:  CASCAIS

7/1/2014

Friday, June 27 (Cascais, Portugal) – I’ve seen the Hamptons, laid out in Nice and dined in Marbella.  I’ve been lucky enough to relax on beautiful beaches in resort towns around the world.  But I have never seen anything like Cascais, Portugal.

Just 20-30 minutes from Lisbon, Cascais is a quiet beach town with restaurants and five-star resorts along the coast.  There are a bunch of opportunities for active travelers as well.  From wind surfing and golfing to horseback riding, running and tennis, there truly is something for everyone… with a full bank account.

I was only there for one night but it was enough to deserve this post.  It is unspoiled and remote yet so close to the city.  I’ve also been to the Algarve – Lagos, in particular – which is a beach region in the south of Portugal, but there is truly no comparison if you are looking for true bliss and relaxation.
