We are Jacob and Jenny, a husband and wife passionate about traveling the world. We started uploading in May, 2021 with a goal to see as much of the globe as possible. After visiting Costa Rica and French Polynesia, the time was right to quit our full-time jobs, so we left everything to travel and have loved every minute of it. Our goal is to make it to all seven continents and visit as many countries as possible. Follow along and be a part of the journey!

Portugal is so gorgeous with stunning architectures, colourful buildings, beautiful language, and positive vibes ♥️🥰🤗
It is a gorgeous place!! 😍 Hope you're doing well friend!
@@JacobandJennyTravelYes, you have to try it, bro, the highest fastest train in Southeast Asia... the speed is 350 K kilometers, the newest fast train in Southeast Asia, the first in Indonesia, Jakarta - Bandung, lots of tourist attractions in the city of Bandung which is beautiful and comfortable and cool and cool and beautiful...
OMG. So happy to see you guys in my country. Hope you enjoy every moment, every sight and place ❤
It is such an amazing place!! Thank you for watching ♥️
Jenny, the "sea" is just the Tejo river. The real sea is about 10 miles away at Carcavelos. The Torre de Belém was far from the river bank (by then it was a few meters away from the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) and together with another fortress at the south bank of the Tejo river guarded the entrance of Lisboa's port and city itself.
That is great to know! Thanks so much for the information :)
Wow Lisbon looks incredible. Just think about the history there that goes back before our country was founded. Wow! Nice video guys. Stay safe. ❤
It is gorgeous! It is so fun to think about the history too. Thanks Kathryn ♥️

First time I'm watching your videos.
Great to see you here in Lisbon and loving your vibe. Hope you had a great time and always feel welcome back!
Anytime you're back in Lisbon, if you're into a guided photo tour get in touch and I'll show you around. :)
Thank you friend! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed it. We will definitely contact you if we are ever back in Lisbon :) thank you for your offer!
Great video in a Great City! Just a small comment the "ocean" is the Tagus, I know it's its estuary and so large that it looks like the ocean but it's the river Tagus. 😂
Thank you so much, and it is a wonderful city!! That is good to know :)
I married in the main church in the Jerónimos monastery behind you 😊
That is so sweet!! ♥️
U guys are very ❤
Thank you so much!!
I was wondering if you would go to the Tower of Belem! So pretty! I went there for a long weekend when I studied abroad in Spain.
That fountain reminds me of the fountain in Barcelona! If you drink from it they say you will return.
It was probably our favorite spot in all of Lisbon, it is so gorgeous!! That would be a perfect weekend trip from Spain!!

Very cool. Lisbon seems like a city often overlooked, kinda flying under the radar. From this perspective at least. Regarding tourists...I was kinda concerned Jenny was painting them with that broad brush, reinforcing the negative stereotype that they're too often associated with. I'm glad she elaborated at the end. Tourism can be a vital boost to a place's economy. They're travelers as well, like you guys. Wanting to experience a destination and take it in. However yes, many are irresponsible and spoil the party for the rest of us. Thanks for making the distinction. I love your enthusiasm and spunk guys. Wonderful vlog.
Yes we totally agree with everything you said 🙌🏼 we are so glad you enjoyed the vlog and we appreciate your kind words! Thank you friend!
I dont known that because Lisbon is overcrowed with tourist and for about 4 or 5 years has been a must see for all tourism
Malandro, foi-te almoçar onde eu Nasci, fui Batizado na Igreja de Santos-o-Velho, perto da Rua da Esperança e o Restaurante Aregos!
Made in the 11 century, in Alfama there's another from the 12th, and the Sultan, the mourish king enter in the well in the castle and only reapeared in (praia das maçãs) 😋 there's a way underground connecting the 2 places, this happened when King Henry took Lisbon 😊
Thank you so much for the information :)
That's not the ocean, that is the estuary of river Tejo. The ocean is a further 10 km away in the west.
That is good to know!! Thanks for the information :)
It's the biggest estuary in Europe
If you don't count the black sea as a estuary
That tuk tuk was so fun. Let Jenny pronounce 'herb' any way she wants! We get what you are saying about tourism. The tower was very unique. Jacob is the water fountain king!
Hahaha😂 right?! And the tower was so cool!!

In Lisbon you can't see the ocean! But the Tagus River!
Good to know! Thanks for the information :)
Pumpkin soup 😊
Yum 🎃
OK, that is the Tagus RIVER not the ocean! Another thing, you are in one of the most touristy areas in Lisboa so what do you expect?!? You have reason not to eat at Time Out...Tourist trap!! It does get extremely hot in the summer and even more touristy!
That is good to know!! Lisbon is beautiful and we can't wait to see the rest of Portugal! Thank you for your comment!
You will love it all and just wait until you do see the ocean...Gorgeous! We now live near Lisbon after falling in love first trip! Enjoy!!
Manuelino style is only 1 building 😊
Interesting! Thanks for the information :)
13:35 é a embaixada de Itália, difícil de morar por lá.😂
Hahaha! That is interesting! Thanks for sharing :)
Não é a embaixada da Itália é a de França
Embassy of France, not Italy. "Palácio de Santos" or Saints Palace. Has been a monastery, a royal residence, a noble house, institute and now an embassy.
Fun fact, our king Sebastian, had his last meal there before departing to a holy war against Morocco, where he was captured/died, leading to a succession crisis that led the portuguese throne to be occupied by the spanish monarchs for 3 generations.
Oh guys. I live close to the places you first filmed... Its the worst part of town xD a lot of hobbos and durg addicts (still safe to live and walk around, don't take me wrong... But really really ugly xD).
As for the castle, in Portuguese, J is read like "Gee", like in English. So George is really closer to it then the Spanish "wrohrwreh" xD
Other thing, try cod "com natas/with cream" and "à Brás". Those are the best. Also recommend "steak on the stone" and octupos "à lagareiro".
And try the pasteis de nata / custard tarts!
Anyway, I'm very pleased to see you enjoying the city. If you need more tips, feel free to ask!=D
Ahhh that is all great to know. We tried the pasteis de nata and they were so delicious!! We will have to try steak on a stone! Thank you very much for your comment!
hi jenny and jacob how are you guys 😃
Hi Sam!! We are good! How are you?? :)
Hello Jacob and Jenny. That is not the sea. It is a river. River Tejo.
Thanks for letting us know :)
@@JacobandJennyTravel You are welcome.
Sumol! carbonated orange juice or pineapple 😊
It was delicious! Thank you so much for your comments :)
I wanted to check out their giant camera obscura. Did you encounter fewer aggressive beggars in Portugal than in Italy?
I think it was around the same honestly!
Jovem, não faça isso, comer bacalhau e beber sumo, numa terra de bom vinho!
Aprender a comer e a beber pode ser uma arte!
O vinho é QB, o vinho é para ser saboreado (degustar), há vinhos que são bebidas dos Deuses!
O segredo é saber escolher e ter alguns $$, mas há boa qualidade/preço em Portugal.
We did have lots of wine while in Portugal and it was delicious!! 🍷 cheers friend!
Damn it. It's not Horhe's Castle. There are no Horhe's in Portugal 🇵🇹.
Hahaha oops! Thanks for letting us know :)
❤
♥️
Regular cheese,
Go to Belem and dont eat the Pastel de Belem?
I know we totally should have! Next time :)
You get to eat, where the TUGAS eat 😊
Jorge is pronounced "George" not like [hoar eh], that's Spanish.
That is good to know! Thanks for letting us know :)
13:58 Actually not. Porto Brandão, Trafaria, Monte da Caparica... are unfortunatelly very delapidated neighborhoods. They're not cool places to be.
That is good to know!! Thanks for letting us know :)
Maybe not for long
Trafaria already has Arbnb
@@lxportugal9343 A ver vamos...
That is not the ocean guys…..it is the end of the river Tagus.
The ocean is about 3 or 4 miles to the right of that square.
Good to know! Thanks for the information :)
Actually, Plovdiv, Bulgaria is the oldest city in Europe
That is good to know! Thank you for sharing :)
Not capital…
true, but she said 'oldest city'@@richardpons6930
What did you mean by "It turns out it's actually Ror-Reh's Castle"? (1:53). The name "Jorge" in Portuguese is not pronounced in the way you did it in the video -- that's the Spanish pronunciation of it! "Jorge", in Portuguese, is pronounced similarly to "George" in English; and it is really the same name! You guys need to snap out of the false notion that has had you convinced that Portugal is in Spain and that the two languages are practically the same.
Good video all the same -- I totally get your enthusiasm, and wanting to learn about other cultures. Good on you.
Thanks for the information! We love learning about other cultures and experiencing them. We are glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching :)
Such a shame that excessive tourism seems to have finally corrupted the landscape of what was, just a decade or so ago, one of the few remaining authentic European capitals left to explore for travelers seeking a genuine local experience. 😒
It really is such a bummer, Lisbon is such a gorgeous place and we loved it! Just wish there was not sooo many tourists there. We are gonna try to go off the beaten path a little bit more :)

@@JacobandJennyTraveli really recomend to you, my city, PORTO 👍
@@zmk8587 We are going there after Lagos!! We are so excited!
You are funny! I never saw yellow tomatos!!!! And portuguese people dont really like tomato soup! Lol! Just saying! :)
Hahaha thank you!! That is interesting! Thanks for sharing :)
While I enjoy the energy and excitement in your videos, I feel like it's contradictory to point out the touristy nature of some things and claim to want to immerse yourself in the culture when you make assumptions about a place based on anecdotal information and don't actually do research before experiencing a culture. Assuming that the wine shop you passed is mostly ports is ignoring the dozens and dozens of unique varietals across the multiple growing regions in Portugal. Port isn't even from Lisbon. And the amount of Asian food might be because Portugal colonized places in Asia like Macau and Taiwan.
Thanks for your opinion!
Que lingua esquisita é esta que ela está a falar?
English haha
cod fish and ....soda!! -- they are Americans after all
Is cod fish not a Portuguese thing? Every time we looked up what to eat in Portugal or asked locals they said cod fish.
It’s the soda, you drink cod fish with wine…!
Amy Schumer came to Lisbon!!!
That is awesome haha!! Thanks for watching :)
No! Jorge = George, not like the Spanish.
Good to know! Thanks for the information :)
