Instead of staying on the European side, we stayed on the Asian one so we crossed sides using the ferry! On Day 2, we explored the Karakรถy neighborhood with the Galata Tower and lots of restaurants and cafes. Then we took the ferry back to Kadฤฑkรถy during sunset. Watch all the available videos on the playlist.

Hola Reader! This week quickly got away from me and I didn't get a chance to send this on Monday. But I actually have news related to my weekly Monday email. For the past 2 years I've been sending this email on a regular basis, but even though I have loved it I need a bit of a break. Normally I feel like I should be able to handle it all, but I've started learning to take breaks when I need them. I've been wanting to change the structure of this newsletter and for that I need to step back...

Hola Reader! This week has been buuusy! From Friendsgiving to creating future experiences for you, there's been lots going on! My previous neighbor invited us out to Setubal to her friend's Quinta, which is a farm, to have Friendsgiving with some of her friends. It was a nice escape into nature with a beautiful sunset. We got to have our meal right in the middle of vineyard, absolutely beautiful. * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no...

Hola Reader! I cannot believe we're mid way through November with chestnuts roasting on open fires around Lisbon. This past weekend I checked out one of the Christmas markets around town and went to a Friendsgiving hosted by a friend. I'm not a big of the actual holiday but I love the food. * If you make a purchase through any affiliate links below, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you.
