Sintra wasn’t supposed to be real. It was too much. Too many towers, too many turrets, too many colors stacked like candy. And yet, there I was—squinting at the surreal skyline like someone had spilled a fairytale all over Portugal.

👩‍🌾 A Morning in the Mist

I caught the early train from Lisbon, watching the city melt into green hills. Sintra greeted me with fog thick enough to feel like velvet. Even the trees seemed older, wiser, like they had secrets in Latin.

My first stop was Palácio da Pena, a Technicolor fever dream built on a mountaintop. It was loud and quiet at the same time—a bit like me on vacation.

*It started with a photo. You know the kind—pastel houses, cobbled lanes, flowers tumbling from every balcony like they’re late for a parade. I didn’t know the town had a name then. I just called it "the place that looks like a watercolor dream."

It was Colmar. And it was very real.*

📍 Finding Colmar (and Yourself)

Colmar isn’t a detour; it’s a feeling. Nestled in France’s Alsace region, it has the colors of a child’s crayon box and the quiet of a good secret. You don’t come here to tick off sights. You come to remember how to walk slowly again.

I arrived on a soft spring morning, my train sighing into the station like even it hated to leave. The streets smelled of butter and stone. My suitcase rolled like a drumbeat on the cobblestones, announcing my very modern arrival to a very old town.

There are places we dream of before we even know they exist. Neuschwanstein was one of mine.

I can’t tell you exactly when I first saw it. Maybe it was on the back of a jigsaw puzzle box, or maybe it was the day I realized Cinderella’s castle had a German cousin. All I know is: the first time I stood in front of Neuschwanstein, with the Bavarian sky dramatically overacting behind it, it felt like coming home to a memory I hadn’t lived yet.
