Skilled Trades are Back!

I’m loving the news I’m coming across lately. Finally we’re starting to see a career rewind 🥳 Our society was begging for a more ruthless shift in global future professional framework. It was about time we headed back to the drawing board! To slower and happier days for the younger generations 🥂

First cub out

These last five years have been an absolute rollercoaster. Dropping our daughter off at her Uni accommodation was as exhausting as emotional. Living and studying through COVID, amidst a generation that uses social media to intimidate and manipulate others without mercy, did not make our task any easier, as we tried to hold them afloatContinue reading “First cub out”

Overtourism

Last week 16 people lost their lives in one (if not the most iconic) Lisbon trams. We should see this as a warning to the tourism over-crowded countries. Something must be done. And I’m not referring only to these beast old vehicles’ regular maintenance. I’m talking about the excessive tourism that’s gone out of hand,Continue reading “Overtourism”

On the “bubble-wrap” gens

I am not looking for clicks or followers writing about this topic (unless what I write entertains your thinking). As many of us do, I find writing therapeutic; it helps me make sense of the world around me. And I’m sorry, as much as I’d like to keep up with new ways of reasoning, IContinue reading “On the “bubble-wrap” gens”

The appeal of passive income

It’s misleading and overrated. We’re all being lead to think passive income is an easy way to an awful six-figures of free loading cash. Came across an article that sums it up nicely yesterday. It’s more trouble than it’s worth. I’d rather start a business the good old way and actually see things happening thanContinue reading “The appeal of passive income”

The power of visualisation

“Menopause is the body’s way of handing you the microphone and saying, ‘Your turn.’” These Facebook groups focused on relocation and early retirement only make the retirement perspective all the more appealing. How can you even dare to scroll past? This is how we wish we lived all our lives in the first place! DreamingContinue reading “The power of visualisation”

A health(y) investment

“Menopause: when the fire inside you matches your ambition.” Keeping a healthy weight in a Mediterranean culture meant keeping a well-rounded body. When I stayed at my grandparents for the holidays, they would think a good set of chubby cheeks meant good health; it meant we were well-nourished. All a reflex of their life experience,Continue reading “A health(y) investment”

30+ Still with Mum and Dad

Surely like many of you, I’m part of some groups on themes of personal interest. Every so often I see a post that triggers me. I might be about to sound quite harsh for some, but as I’m old school AND still hold some of those old views, that won’t stop me 😂 I’m sorry…Continue reading “30+ Still with Mum and Dad”
