I very rarely share online if something isn’t going well in my life. I’ve always treated my social media the same way most of us do: we only share the good bits. I thought I was doing that but nowadays, I look back at some photos of what looks like an excellent time of my li...

In the last month or so I gave three talks about blogs and me: one lightening talk at ViewSource, one at TODO London and another one at ReactJSGirls. Although I had applied for them at differe...
Last weekend I attended my very first IndieWebCamp in Berlin. I planned it very last minute and was lucky that flights were still at an acceptable price. I’ve been wanting to attend one for a while. I found out about the IndieWeb because somehow I stumbled upon a list of blo...
Last Friday I had the fantastic opportunity to give a lightening talk at View Source 2018. However, I would only have 5 minutes and 20 slides in total, 15 seconds for each slide exactly. I decided to apply for it very last minute and to my shock and surprise, my talk proposa...
Four months later I finally write the usual “new year post”. Unlike last year’s, this time I can finally say that sometimes when time flies it could be because you’re having fun!
I can happily say that 2017 was a great year. I moved house, finally adopted a cat and ended the...
Time flies and it doesn't mean you're having fun. This post has been on my drafts for months now and it is a shame that I barely use my personal laptop after work, but here it is. Back in October, my partner and I took a day off and did a really cool tour that started in&nbs...
As promised, 2016 was the year I signed up to the gym. This is likely to be the biggest change in my life last year since it made me to start making more conscious decisions regarding the food I ate and my health. It had an huge impact in me.
Last year was shit. I moved to L...
Nearly three months after, I finally post here the photos of the Vesala gigs I saw in September. I travelled to Helsinki on purpose to finally see her live (I've been a fan for over ten years now).
Full album here
This woman is unstoppable: music, theatre, acting, w...
And so I say goodbye to 2015. A year full of emotions and unexpected adventures. As any ordinary person on the final day of the year I reflected on everything that was left to do but also the achievements I managed to complete. At the end of the day it's the good things tha...
Há duas semanas atrás fomos visitar Bruges e Copenhaga. Planeamos esta pausa há alguns meses atrás mas demasiado tarde para sermos mais ambiciosos. Eu pessoalmente gosto de viajar no inverno mas pode ser um bocadinho mais complicado para estar devidamente preparado para o fr...
Bruges is a small city in Belgium it might be a little bit more known because of the movie In Bruges but it is also a very popular destination for a small romantic break. In every canal and chocolate shops there is a piece of history and it is re...
This past week I visited another cat cafe, The Cat Village. The idea is simple: a cafe with cats. It is possible to request what you would usually request in a cafe but here you get to play with the existing cats. That are some rules that are announced upon your arrival but other than that all you need is to book your visit on their website.
All the 14 kittens were adorable, playful and very kind so interacting with them was really easy.
Unlike the other cat cafe that I visited before, this one has a better playground for the cats to sleep and climb.
It's 5£ per person and per hour and the last time to visit it is at 20h00, which allowed me to go after work.

One of the greatest advantages of living in London is how easier it gets to travel anywhere else. Every time I travelled from Portugal, I knew that it would take at least two hours so imagine how happy I got when I realised my flight to Amsterdam would only take 45 minutes.
This was all arranged very last minute and it was all so that I could spend at least a day with my best friends from Portugal (who I haven't seen in too long).
I've already visited Amsterdam before but I still made sure that I had a map of the city in my phone (an offline version). In the very first hours of walking, all the streets look the same so it's easy to get lost.
And of course... I visited the cat museum again.
Em Julho fomos visitar Weston-super-mare! Localizado a sudoeste de Bristol, é uma pequena cidade costeira que, recentemente, tornou-se mais popular por causa da Dismaland de Banksy. Infelizmente, esta visita foi realizada antes dessa exibição abrir.

There is plenty to do here in London! What I lack is energy after work. Meet ups! I love meet ups. I have published about some meet ups in this blog in the past and when I moved to London I was looking forward to attend them. Sadly I don't have time or energy for all the daily activities and sometimes the desire to just arrive home is bigger.
A few weeks ago, before I went on holidays, I went to BowlingJS, this time in Elephant & Castle and the same says it all: bowling and meet more people to like/use javascript.
We were a very small group but a really fun crowd... and hey... I only finished last on the first game!
In August 2014 I visited, for the first time, Switzerland to visit a friend. I had never considered this country has a holiday destination and it wasn't on my plans either. I guess destiny and last minute plans allowed me to discover a beautiful country that wasn't even on m...
Este último fim-de-semana prolongado decidimos passar em Brighton. Não era local desconhecido para ele, e nem na totalidade para mim, mas Brighton é uma das paragens obrigatórias quando se vive em Inglaterra.
Conhecida por ser uma cidade despida de preconceitos e localizada ...
Uma das últimas viagens de 2014 foi em Novembro a Phuket na Tailândia. Foi a primeira viagem que fiz fora da Europa e o meu primeiro carimbo no passaporte. Tão cedo não me passaria pela cabeça ir a um destino tão longe, mas a convite da minha irmã para o casamento dela...
Para os que não conhecem, o LXJS é um evento que decorre em Lisboa e que reúne todos os interessados nas novidades do mundo do javascript e este ano tive a oportunidade, graças à Blip, de participar no LXJS. O evento decorre durante dois dias, este ano numa lo...
No último Sábado pude participar no evento das Rails Girls no Porto. Apesar de não utilizar esta tecnologia no meu dia-a-dia, não pude deixar escapar uma oportunidade gratuita de aprender e conhecer mais raparigas com interesses semelhantes.
Para quem não conhece, o Rails Gi...
