About Me

Hello and welcome!

I started this blog to document my travels, but added personal milestones and reflections over time. Generally-speaking, I have simple needs, and I try not to take (my) life too seriously (it is courageous to be able to laugh at oneself i.m.o.). I've never been a big fan of the high life or the expensive brands. The pursuit of happiness is not all about a big bank account or a fancy status in my books. I like to indulge in mostly non-financial pleasures like a classic novel or movie, a beautiful garden, a long and deep conversation, lively, world music and dance, a child's laughter, nature's splendor, the warmth of a big hug, the company of good friends, and the peace within a church. However, I'm also a realist, and I'm aware that there are some fun things that money can buy.

I also use this blog to give thanks, praise, and glory to God for He is the source of my love, strength, inspiration, wisdom, hope, joy, and peace. I seek personal growth and sanctification in opportunities disguised as problems. I am forever grateful for His blessings and mercies. Without Him, I will not be where I am today.

I hope you enjoy this blog and thank you for walking with me!

Hello Sandra,

You are indeed a (pretty) citizen of the world. I apreciate the detailed report you made about Porto, Portugal. You are a very sensitive and well instructed person.
Next time you come to Portugal, send me an email. I will be glad to invite you for a dinner with my wife. I will show you a little more about Portuguese food. Now, I am going to look at your blog with more detail. Have a good life!
