Why Do So Many People Travel to Portugal? What Makes Portugal Unique?

Things to See and Do In Portugal: Welcome to My Blog! My Journey To Educate Myself.com and help others explore this beautiful hidden gem in Europe. Portugal is the most western point in mainland Europe. It has something for everyone: beaches, mountains, waves, sea adventures, vineyards, eucalyptus forests, cork trees, cobblestone streets, festas in the streets, 100-foot waves, hand-carved boats, historic castles, traditional food, old churches, and more.


Why Do So Many People Travel to Portugal? What Makes Portugal Unique?

I live in America and travel to Portugal several times per year for 4-6 weeks. We travel the new roads, the old roads, and the back roads. I document and photograph our travels. I make suggestions on where to stay, where to eat, and what to do in places in and around Portugal.

How do you obtain a Global Blue Card?

I applied online, paid the fee ($100), and completed the TSA in-person interview when I landed in the Philly airport. My AA credit card covered the cost of the application.


Which website do you use to apply?


Do I need an appointment to complete the application?

I didn’t need an appointment because the calendar was backed up for one year so they waived the requirement to have an appointment you can complete the interview at specific international airports in the US. The interview took about 15 minutes. I needed my NJ driver’s license and current passport. I was electronically fingerprinted. I answered a few questions.

How do you know if you are approved?

Two weeks later, I received an email that I was approved. I should receive my Global Entry card in the mail shortly. The card is valid for 5 years.


How do you use the card?

When you enter the US or fly domestically, you go to a Global Entry kiosk and scan yourself in. You don’t have to wait in line for TSA or passport checks.

It fast-tracks you in a few minutes.

I am so excited. I have waiting for hours in the TSA and passport lines over the past 36 years of traveling.


Do I still need TSA pre-check?

The agent also told me that I don’t need a TSA pre-check. Global Entry gives you a precheck.


Who can apply for Global Entry?

Global Entry is open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and U.S. legal permanent residents as well as citizens of certain countries with which CBP has trusted traveler arrangements, including Argentina, Colombia, Germany, India, Mexico, the Netherlands, Panama, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Canadian citizens and residents enrolled in NEXUS may also use the Global Entry kiosks.


Where can I find more information about traveling, tax-free shopping, airport details, sites to see, what to pack for a trip, and airline perks?
