Pifas!!! Three years ago my friend Shannon came to visit us in Lisbon and got lucky enough to find this guy and his electric Tuk Tuk for a city tour of Lisbon. She recommend him to us & we booked a trip w him when Eric’s mom visited. And we instantly felt the connection, he became a friend. . . Since then I have recommended him to dozens of friends and friends of friends & everyone has raved about their time w him. Today we got to spend the day together again with Asif & Kiran visiting. . . What a gem! If you’re ever in Lisbon, be sure to contact him @ecotukpifas for a fantastic taste of this incredible city! ❤️ Obrigada Pifas!!

Checking out new places to ride. 🐎. . I’ve been struggling a little at the first equestrian center I chose. Group lessons seem to mean you are receiving instruction while also sharing the ring with many other riders at all levels who may or may not be receiving a lesson. They may be breaking in a new crazy horse that you’re told to steer clear of 😳 . Which can be particularly unnerving when it’s the first lesson back on the horse since you took a big fall...which may then end with you crying in class & feeling like a total idiot. . . So...instead of being annoyed and frustrated I’m exploring other options like private lessons (super affordable here!) and other riding schools with less activity in the ring. This one is gorgeous!!! . . Good lesson in remembering you are always at choice and getting creative with how you can make things work for you.
Daily pilgrimage, two blocks from the apartment for a ☕️ and some ☀️. One of the many perks of working US hours from EU. Seen at super low tide today. . . . #digitalnomad #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomadcouple #workfromanywhere #locationindependent #thebeachismyoffice #beachbreak #coffeebreak
Hands up for possibilities that lie ahead. 🙌🏽✨
