Our Travels: Lisbon, Portugal

Here at World Words, it’s not just writing about travel that gets our pulses racing – we’re pretty keen on actually travelling, as well. At least one of us is always on the go, exploring a new (to us) and exciting corner of the globe.

A newly-opened property in the Maldives, Finolhu is a beautiful five-star resort that is all about old-school relaxation.
