The Enchanting Cyprus
This is always a fascinating time. Get together with my teammates, collaborate in person, and play board games. Work hard and play harder XD This was the first team meetup that was just the 8 of us (we have been to a Division meetup together- in Vienna – and also a Woo Mobile meetup –…

Stockholm in 2 days
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely LOVED Copenhagen, but after Germany, I was so freaking tired of ALL-THAT-RAIN! GOOD THOR! I mean, rain is awesome if I am at home, with a nice cup of coffee and a great book, but when I am travelling… So I was secretly praying to the gods I don’t…

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.

A Nice Surprise
My last morning in Dresden was rainy, so I took an Uber from the Hostel to the train station. The Uber driver was very chatty (juuuuuust the way I love it… #not). Told me his whole life, about his Brazilian wife, everything. Nice guy. I am one of those crazy people who get to the…

It works very similarly to FlexDay, only it has options all over the world and not just in Canada. You download the app, create an account, reserve a location either on demand…

From Prague with Love
I remember, back in 2016, sitting by the river Thames looking over the tower bridge in London and thinking about the people who live there, surrounded by all that history, all those monuments, and they don’t really care. It’s part of their day. It becomes mundane. I had the same feeling about Rome. If I…

The Sound of Music
Austria was always a country I associated with several things that were often present in my life. The sound of music which I have watched so many times, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert due to my love for classical music. Freud, in a more generic way and Schrödinger because of my completely random but a bit…

The Sound of Woosic™
The most expected week of the year so far has come and gone so fast that it feels almost cruel. Automattic’s Grand Meetups, team meetups and now Division Meetups were always highly anticipated, at least by me. Working remotely was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my professional life. But we are not…
