Extreme Temperatures. Warm.

I want to write about extreme temperatures I have experienced in my life. Warm. The warmest weather I have witnessed was in Portugal in 2017. That was a terrible heat wave without any break and a chance to rain. There were fires in the country. It was +43C. Swimming in the ocean was a good…

I don’t want to travel

Since I started as a travel blogger, it's wise to speculate on trips as such from time to time. Not long ago, I made a post about lockdown. Continuing the topic, lockdown made traveling impossible for a while. Even to go to a near by city was a challenge. It felt like going to US…

Who Am I? Identification Through Places. Portugal. Part 2

In 2017, I came to Portugal for a longer time. I was not a tourist anymore, I was building a life - my studies, gym, friends, groceries - in a new place. Yes, new because I've never lived in Portugal. Staying in the country longer than 2 week was an interesting and controversial experience. Though…
