THREE DAYS IN LISBON

Destination: Portugal. All ten colleagues started packing and left for Lisbon, eager to discover the city and to socialize with their team while being in a holiday mood. Even though the weather was pretty bad, the trip was a beautiful experience for all of them. More than that, for some of them it was their first trip on an airplane.

“We really liked to organize ourselves outside of work. We bought suitcases, cosmetics kits, we boarded the airplane and we made a lot of group photos. Everyone enjoyed the trip and the portuguese people were very friendly and kind. The city was beautiful, and the food was very tasty”, said Mariana Cațer, Store Manager JYSK Brașov 3.

Our colleagues enjoyed visiting the city with it’s picturesque streets, they loved walking on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean and discovering the portuguese cuisine.
