Goodbye 2015

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...

Copenhaga

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...

In Bruges

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...

The Cat Village

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. Useful links: Cat Village

One day in Amsterdam

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.

Um fim-de-semana em Weston-super-mare

BowlingJS

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!

Inês Teles shared a photo of the group in Twitter

Switzerland (2014)

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...

Um fim-de-semana em Brighton

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 ...

Tailândia

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...
