About Júlia Vilaça

http://www.lisboacool.com/en

My name is Júlia and I am an avid collector of happy moments and my dream is to help you discover the coolest places when you travel.

I can say that my journey into the world of travel and to the experiences that lead me to travel... started as a child. I am an only child, and all the trips I made to the homes of my family, whether near or far, delighted me. I will never forget the family reunions with those who lived far away, sleeping in a strange house, tasting food that was different from what my mother usually cooked, observing everything with a look of true discovery.

I soon realized that travel is a wonderful phenomenon: its value is priceless, it creates happy memories, which will only become even more valuable over time.

But, after a while, and with my first trips, including one in which I traveled throughout Europe, I also discovered that not all moments become perfect memories, and that often the places I visited – which were apparently perfect – did not live up to the time spent there. On the other hand, I also found that there are places that have soul and these deserve more than one visit! So, I got to work and tested my ability to create priceless memories, while experiencing unforgettable moments.

I started creating guides which not only expressed the city’s culture and vibrancy, visiting the must-see places, but also the best places where you could experience true urban life.
