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-…
Keep readingA 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…

I started writing this post while I was on my way to Copenhagen. But then I don’t know where the time went and here I am, trying to finish it 11 days later. By the way, I woke up that morning and checked my Instagram.…
Keep readingPrague days 2 and 3
Wednesday started with Damianne and me heading to a co-working space to meet with Jirka. It was the first time I tried WeWork. It works very similarly to FlexDay, only it has options all over the world and not just in Canada. You download the…
Keep readingFrom 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…
Keep readingThe 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…

During the month of January, I will be posting (tentatively) one post every day as part of the #bloganuary challengeToday’s Prompt: What is your preferred mode of travel? Let me start this post by saying I don’t do very well with “preferred”. I have a…
Keep readingBack 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…

Keep readingWhen 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…
Keep readingOne 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…

My family was always a big fan of games. Board games, video games, pick your poison, we love it! I grew up used to having aunts and uncles, and my parent’s friends at our house on Saturdays for endless game nights, guitar playing and lots…
Keep readingToulouse (ish) and the Cité de l’espace

Keep readingFrom 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…
Keep readingAndorra La Vella
When I first started planning this trip I first made the decision to go to Barcelona, from Trondheim. And then, I made the mistake of opening Google Maps to see what was in the surroundings. Getting there from Barcelona I took the Alsa bus, which…
Keep readingWalking through the clouds in Montserrat
Ok, I think we have established by now that I am TERRIBLE on keeping this blog updated. Today is May 28th, 2020 and I’m still writing about my last trip that started on September last year. I have started writing this post a million times…
Keep readingBarcelona – Days 7 & 8
Day 7 was a quiet day. After working I just went to do laundry. And after a few days having appetizers for lunch (even though healthy ones) I was craving a big salad with real meat, so I decided to walk around for a bit…
Keep readingBarcelona – Days 4 to 6
So, since the following few days I was working part of the day and exploring the city after work, I got to see fewer places each day, so I will try to condense 3 days in one post! Day 4 The weather forecast for today…

Day 1 Day 1 in Barcelona was actually day 3 since I got here on the Saturday 19th, but didn’t actually do anything. Day 2 I went to Girona and Figueres, so it’s day 3 of the third part of the trip and day 42…

Keep readingAround and about – Norway
I would like to start this post by saying that I have no idea for a title at the moment. The idea of naming the posts after Doctor Who episode names crossed my mind, but I’m not sure it would work since the name of…

So, after 8 days in Florida for a conference (post about that later) I have finally arrived in Norway where I will be staying for 4 weeks visiting family. And while I will be staying at my sister’s place and there’s nothing touristy left to…

Keep readingOoops, 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…
