But a family vacation to Lisbon, Portugal in 2015 changed our trajectory. But one of the most unexpected things about this country is how very different tipping etiquette is.

But in our eight years here, a waiter has only prompted us to leave a tip once or twice. I always tip 20% minimum since they are the only bar in Lisbon that knows how to make a proper Manhattan.
