For my 3rd interview, I really enjoyed speaking with two friendly, local Lisbonites, Bia and Carolina. I think they had more fun with the interview than I did! We talked about everything from pineapple on pizza to politics and the pandemic. Interestingly enough, their answers were in stark contrast from my first two interviews. It …
For my second interview on the streets of Lisbon, Portugal, I had the pleasure of speaking with two Russian students, Julia and Anastasia, who arrived in Lisbon just a day earlier. They gave their candid answers on a wide range of questions that I asked, including things about the US and Russia. I found their …
Living here in Lisbon, Portugal has given me the opportunity to meet and strike up conversations with people from all over the world. I had this idea based on those conversations to create this new Blog segment I'm going to call: “The Lisbon Files”. They’re basically fun and interesting interviews with everyday people on the street, …
Yesterday, I took a different hike route due to Covid. As I walked, I looked up and saw something that provoked so many anchor moments in my life.

Living is Lisbon has been my dream forever, and now I get to live it! I've made exploring this beautiful city my full time job. This is one of my favorite hikes... for now! Hike with me along the River Tagus on a sunny day and take in the sights and sounds and you'll see …
Again, I want to celebrate my 2-month anniversary here. I could not have made a better decision in my life, ever! I think back to the 6-month resident Visa process, selling my condo, living like a vagabond while waiting for the Visa. I’ve done so much in 8 weeks here that I tried my best …
I wrote this poem in 2002, while living in Amsterdam. Cash Love makes the world go roundMoney makes the world go roundLove of money makes the world confoundOur classless, 3-Class society needs some common groundThe comedy is how everyone tries to make itThe tragedy is that some just try to fake itHe who has it, …
(Video at bottom of page)This is a special post for me as it marks two months that I have been here now. Like I said before, here in Lisbon, I still don’t know what I don’t know and everyday is better than the last. I am told that I have done and seen a lot …
