My exchange in Lisbon has been nothing short of amazing. Why? Because Lisbon is certainly one of the coolest and sunniest cities in Europe!

The small capital city is filled with lots of beautiful scenery and museums, friendly Portuguese, great food (like the famous Pastéis de Nata) and amazing weather. If you are sick and tired of the hot and humid weather in Singapore like me, you're gonna love the dry-and-cooling-but-yet-sunny weather there for sure - trust me.

Studying in Catolica has exposed me to the European history and culture, and learn how to work with other peers with different working styles and habits.

Last but not least, Lisbon is a great gateway to many European cities and the UK. You'll be able to grab cheap flights tickets and travel around Europe without having to spend too much money!

Missing my exchange already and hope that I'll have a chance to visit Lisbon again someday.
