Ana Kuijpers is a travel content creator who's half Portuguese and half Dutch. She lived in Portugal until she was 12, and since then, she's returned every year, not just to visit family but also to explore every corner of her home country. Even though she's originally from Porto, Lisbon holds a special place in her heart. She returns to Lisbon whenever she can, drawn by its perfect mix: the good weather, the light in the city that just hits differently, the rich food culture, incredible beaches nearby, and the discoveries waiting to be made. She also loves how close Lisbon is to her favourite Portuguese region, Alentejo. There's no city like Lisbon, and it's Ana's favourite European capital. No matter how often she visits, the experience feels new yet familiar and comforting, like coming home.
