Get Lost in #Lisboa

All you need to do is print this article, tuck it into your pocket, and jet out on the next plane to Lisbon. 

Get lost. Learn a new language. Try some new food. Drink green wine. Listen to Queen—they fucking LOVE Queen in Portugal (it actually might be an unhealthy obsession?).
