How It Was Like to Road Trip in Europe in the 90s

Paper maps, no accommodation booked, and no rules — I was born in 1988, in Portugal. My parents were middle class, my dad a teacher, my mom a baker.

How Long Does It Take You To Watch a 90-Minute Movie?

This Simple Exercise Shows You How Much Time You Waste Being Distracted — I started noticing something weird every time I watch TV. A 40-minute episode of a tv show takes me around 1 hour to finish. A 90-minute movie takes me 2 hours. This is without the interruption of ads, I’m talking about streaming platforms. How is this possible? And then it…

3 Reasons Why I Loved to Live in Paris, France

Even the most skeptical need to agree on these points — I’m asked often how long I lived in France, but I don’t know.

Do You Write On Medium? You Might Have Written a Book Without Realizing

Have you? — The average book length is 90,000 words. Most articles on Medium are 5-minute reads or about 1,000 words. Have you written 90 articles? Then you have written enough words to create a book. Sure, a book needs a structure that is different from putting 90 articles together. I’m not suggesting…

Returning can be more challenging than going away — I am a serial emigrant. But also a serial “returner”. I lived in France, the UK, and Hungary, but in between those stints abroad, I always came back to spend time in Portugal. Last month, I returned again, after 3.5 years in Budapest. Going back to your own country after…
