The Start of Hispanic Heritage Month πŸ’›

Hola Reader! Today is the start of Hispanic Heritage Month! Now I live in Portugal and it's not really celebrated here, but of course I have to. Latin America is one of my favorite places in the world and even though each country is unique, there are lots of similarities and its the warmness of the people that I love the most. I may live far from there now, but in the future I do plan to go back and live in many countries especially Peru to spend more time with family. I can't stand what's...

Hola Reader! I just got back from a glamping getaway from Bebino and omg it needs to be on your list! The place we went to has spots in Portugal, Spain, Italy with new ones opening up soon in France.

Yes, I'm in! β˜€οΈ when? Depends on my schedule πŸ—“οΈ * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links...

They provided comfy chairs and had popcorn and drinks for sale. I have to say I looove that Lisboa has so many events depending on your interests. I've...

Hola Reader! This week has honestly been a bit rough. My website is going through it and at first I wasn't even sure that I wanted to share that. But I also think it's important to share the bad along with the good of this creator/blogger journey. Hoping to have my site back up before the weekend, but for now it's down for maintenance. * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you.
