Bazar das Artes
So we had this amazing weekend at AzΓ³ia, Portugal. A friend of mine started to gather manufacturers to participate in a weekend fair right after black Friday and on the first advent weekend to create this Planet friendly market in the spirit of supporting small businesses instead of enormous enterprises. And Bazar das Artes turned…

Berlengas
Berlengas is a splendid place. A must visit. No wonder I have been wanting to go there forever. Since we first arrived to Portugal in 2013. I have heard great things about it and saw some videos. It took me a while to actually get there but finally we managed to organise a trip. We…

Planting trees
Planting trees is wonderful. Walking in nature, surrounded by the forest and adding one new member to their community is just such a great feeling. You can plant a tree for any occasion. A birthday, anniversary. You can buy Christmas tree with a root and plant it. Of course some research is needed prior to…

Lockdown Part 2
Here we go again. Lockdown part 2. This time in Portugal. Just before Christmas we were not really sure about my mom’s visit to Portugal, but we were thinking secretely, deep inside, what if this will be the last time. So we bought her a ticket and she came for a week. She was very…

Aljezur is awesome
We have been wanting to visit this gem in the Costa Vicentina region, but we have never got round to it so far. Whenever we were passing through, we have always said that one day it would be nice to explore the area, because we have seen so many foreigners there all the time, we…

School year 2020/21
So I think we can all agree on that the school year so far was a bit hectic. Starting with the distant learning in March we did not rest too much, after finishing the school year in Hungary… …we started the online application process for the kids school here in Portugal. It went – well,…

From Hungary to Portugal
This might sound like we have done this trip between these two countries for the first time. Well, nope. We have just spent the last year in Hungary. My father passed away, my husband’s father passed away… so we are dealing with great loss this year. It certainly affects us on every level. It really,…

When we visited Mont-Saint Michel at 7 am in high season
It was pure awesomeness. We have started our way on an afternoon from Ostend, Belgium at the end of July. Driving through the night was challenging as my godparents kept us well as they usually do, so we had a great lunch and a nice walk on the beach, however, I felt sleepy when we…

Quarantine times
2020 is definitely the strangest year in my life time so far. I bet all of us had different things in mind instead of what we are doing right now. I consider this period very useful though. Of course, I am not saying, it is a good thing what happened to us. It can be…

Israel
It has been on our mind to go to Israel but we kept on postponing for various reasons. The fact that we went this year March, is just another proof that 2020 is the strangest year ever. Itβs full of unexpected events. We can always wait for a better moment but in another way things…

End of 2019, end of an era
I have been planning to write this post since the summer but other things kept me busy, things like getting used to our temporary accommodation in Hungary, finishing my degree, mourning my dad who had passed away. I am working full time remotely these days and still trying to figure out 2020. It is in…
