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, […]

Quite the Weekend
Working remotely has, in my case, only advantages. But after almost two years of Covid, seeing several people working from home, considering this happened in a very unordered manner and also because there was no alternative to it, I have to admit, I can only see advantages because I work for a company that is […]

Peace
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. Carl Sagan

From the Pale Blue Dot
Our posturing, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save […]

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.

Here We Go Again – Packing for a long trip
And another journey is about to start. The longest trip of my life so far. I’m leaving today and will be away from home for 3 whole months. 😱 The challenge? Pack everything you need to spend three months away into one single backpack! 😅 Yeah… I know! I will write about the trip in […]

Ooops, where’s my luggage?
I feel very lucky to be able to hop on a plane (or a car, bus, train… you got the idea) whenever I want to. One of the perks of working remotely. It’s a feeling I’m not able to describe, especially when you have been bitten by the wanderlust bug. So the other day I […]

Portugal – Day 2 – Lisbon
I’m not a big fan of organized excursions. They are too fast, too messy, too busy. You end up not seeing everything you want, you have little to no time to appreciate the places you go. However, sometimes, out of pure laziness, I yield and I end up in one of those crazy and disturbing […]
