Grateful to be able to lead trips in my parent's home country again and next year it'll be a trip I put together! * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Hola Reader! This past week has been AMAZING going around Brazil as part of the group trip I've been hosting!

Hola Reader! This past week has been busy. I feel like I've fully embraced the whole living life on my terms by going out to dance salsa multiple times, meeting new friends for brunch, and just being more present in the moment. But that just means I'm pretty tired and now and need at least a few days to recover. I am officially not in my 20s anymore. ๐Ÿ˜… You'll notice as you scroll down that I've changed the layout of this newsletter. For now I'm playing around with it so this may not be the...

Hola Reader! It's been a busy weekend and one that is testing my patience in terms of Portugal mishaps. I've been getting water into my apartment when it's windy and raining heavily. It's stressful because every time I see rain on the forecast I get anxious to see where the rain will come in this time. My landlord says we need to wait to have at least a couple of dry weeks to do anything, but it's winter so that won't be happening anytime too soon.
