Liz is Awesome!! She helped me learn the subway and train system in Portugal. I appreciated the time she took to explain some of the cultural differences, which stores to shop for the things I enjoy and some areas I might enjoy living in Lisbon. Most of all, I appreciate her sharing her knowledge with patience and kindness.
