Celebrating One Year of a New Life in Portugal
In week 52, the final of my first year in Portugal, I celebrated the milestone in the small, Portuguese town of Lagos while trying to calm my apprehension over the next stop on my journey.
Trying New Things. Making a Few Missteps
In week 51, my attempts at being an introvert failed and my adventures took an unexpected turn.
Adventures in the Algarve Region of Portugal
In week 50, I was settling into Lagos, my home for the next month, and where I would mark the end of my first year in Portugal.
The Day I Left Lisbon
In week 49, I left the beco and headed south to write the next chapter of my life in Portugal.
Saying Goodbye to Lisbon…for Now
In week 48, with my departure from the beco in less than a week, I spent time with friends and finally faced the task of packing up my home in the beco.
Enjoying My Last Days in the Beco
In week 47, as my final days in my beloved beco were coming to a close, I spent time enjoying the neighborhood I had grown to love.
Preparing to Leave Life in the Beco
In week 46, I left NYC in style and headed back to Lisbon to prepare to leave my life in the beco.
Pit Stop in NYC
In week 45, I was back in NYC, spending time in my old neighborhood, visiting my old hangouts, and seeing how things have changed in a year.
Driving Mama Tis – Part Two
In week 44, it was time to drive Mama Tis back to the casino in Cherokee so she could gamble away a little more of my inheritance before returning to Kingstree for Christmas.
Mud-Dogging (Mis) Adventures
During week 43, I was back in SC, hanging with Mama Tis. One day we woke up excited to attend a holiday party but ended up on an unplanned and ill-equipped mud dogging (mis) adventure.
