WordCamp US 2023
I debated for a long time whether I should attend WCUS this year or not. The main reason was time. Between work projects, focusing on the apprenticeship and studying, it was also a weird period coming back from a 3-month sabbatical and I felt like I should focus more on coding than anything else. But…

Back to “Normal”
I swear I thought that being part of the #bloganuary challenge would be enough to get me into the habit of writing more here. But then, the whole Developer Apprenticeship thing happened and threw me off a bit. Mostly because I started another blog to help me study (Rosie Codes), where I share things I…

When the magic started
Immigrating to another country is not easy. There are a lot of hoops to jump through, a lot of challenges to overcome. Doesn’t matter how prepared you are, how much you’ve planned, it takes a while for you to get on your feet, get a place to live, get a job, establish a routine. And,…

One week Vacay in Tobermory
After being here for almost 12 years I finally went to Tobermory during the summer. This is the kind of place that’s too close to home to make me want to actually do the effort to plan a trip but not close enough to make it an easy day trip, so I postponed it forever.…

From the Pale Blue Dot
This story begins about almost nine months ago, on December 31st, 2019. I had a small group of friends over for the holiday, and at some point we started planning our 2020 trips. The year before (December 31st, 2018) we had talked about going to NY. But since some of them were still settling down…

Between the Lines Winery
Last weekend I had a few (seven) friends over for the weekend. It happens quite often when most of your friends live 120km from you (or you live 120km from them). We had planned a wine tasting tour and one of them suggested a Winery called Between the Lines. I had never heard of it…

Lynde Shores Conservation Area
And, one more weekday off, after working Saturday and Sunday. Working on weekends is not the best thing ever, but it has its perks. First of all, it’s only one weekend per month, so no biggie. Second, having weekdays off can be very useful. I get to visit places when everyone else is working, I…

Beach Life – Pernambuco, Brazil
One of my goals, when I was looking for a remote job, was to be able to travel more. To be able to be with my family and still have vacation days left to explore the world. After the first 3 months working on my new amazing job at Automattic, I have decided that I…

Hiking Kinda Mood – Mount Nemo
After working during the weekend I had Monday and Tuesday off. The day was beautiful, sunny, not too hot, not too cold. It felt such a waste of time to spend such an amazing day off inside the apartment. So I messaged a friend who usually doesn’t work on Mondays and we went off to Mount Nemo…
