Sights of Portugal: the old buildings of Porto

"It's a strange feeling. The feeling that I'm stuck, simply because I haven't been travelling. My mum doesn't understand, but even yesterday, over dinner, I told my husband how anxious I am to get out of here.

Sights of Portugal: quick visit to Lisbon

I am someone who likes to be in control of any situation. The pandemic made me realise even more that no matter how much you try to control your life, control is an illusion, a lie we are told since young age and on which we believe blindly. There's no such thing as control. Perhaps … Continue reading Sights of Portugal: quick visit to Lisbon →
