"Portugal was amazing!" said Todd. "Everyone was so nice. I did several events for ToddWorld in Lisbon and Porto, appearing at several stores called Fnac. I also did a fun event at Cadin, a great place that helps children and their families from all over the world. We even raised some money for them :)
