My happy place
Lisbon is by far the city I've returned to most times of all cities I've visited. I've spent three winters here, which is my favorite time of year to spend in this particular place. And now I've been here for a couple of summers too, slightly warmer, slightly busier.
I was fortunate enough to stay in my friends' Peter and Johan's beautiful apartment in Principe Real, the loveliest neighborhood! And most of the time I was sitting behind my laptop working on this, my website! (Which has been in a maintenance mode for roughly two years, eeek...)
But apart from being obsessed with getting my website done, I've played heaps of padel! I love how sports in general have a way of connecting people, in an instant you are suddenly being part of something, having a teammate, chatting about life and even making new friends.
Relaxing with a book is so much nicer after any sports activity in the heat too.
I miss this city enormously already, it gives me calm, it gives me energy and I always feel very balanced and at ease during my stays. It's something with the vibe that's very relaxing and unpretentious.
I can't wait to be back in October!
