Like most people in life, Cinnamon was dreaming of a new place to call home. The wanderlust was so strong by the time she embraced her fourth decade of life, that she decided to move to Portugal on the fly after some personal setback. On the latest post and podcast, we talk about why she is loving the expat life in Lisbon, her portable business, what her new “home” Lisbon is like, racism, bad romance, and how a random Tinder date gave her the most profound and illuminating advice.

Podcasts are back! Yeah!!! I know you’ve been waiting for this for the longest time… Not! Here it is anyway. It’s been almost two years since the last podcast episode because time has just flown by. I had been thinking of reviving it, but l was too lazy to dig out my microphone from storage. Here is an interview with an expat here in Valencia. Hopefully it will be one in a series about life during the lockdown, both in Spain and other countries.

** This post was originally intended to be a blog, but l ended up posting it to our Facebook page. A few people wrote me privately asking me to put it here as it might provide a few minutes of reading material as well as it being a historical log of sorts, so here it is. Apologies if you’ve already read it on Facebook. We hope everyone is weathering the storm well. Here is a day during lockdown in Spain.
