Keeping the sunny positive vibes for as long as possible. Every day is a fresh start and the day before, a moment to learn from mistakes and improve. It’s impossible to know everything no matter how confident some people may appear to be. To be honest, too much certainty and confidence in some situations can be down right annoying (it depends on the situation but there is more than one way to do something effectively or debate, I digress).😂 Any who, keep warm sunny day optimism around for as long as you can. It can keep you going or push you even further on your journey! #expatlife

This is what I wore on my first full day in Lisbon Portugal 🇵🇹Why? Because I wanted to wear what I think is vacation appropriate lol 😂 Although the temperature was decent, it wasn’t what you picture when you say you’re going on vacation. You picture sun and the perfect level of warmth rather than a slight chill and random spatterings of rain☔️ But that’s reality and sometimes, it happens. Do you give up though and just stay indoors the entire vacation? No! Even in the rain, my husband and I managed to have a great first day in Lisbon. I’ve downloaded some of the things we did on that first day in a new blog post, link in bio☝🏾☝🏾, so make sure you give it a read and see how you can enjoy the rain. Besides, it’s just water after all 😂🤣 #visitlisbon

Sometimes you need a good laugh 🤭😂 Following through on all your plans and executing it to a T can be difficult, even for the most type A person (which I’m not really). Why? Life happens. Nothing reinforces this more than when you’re expat in a new country learning a simple new rule about bank cards, transit systems or how to fill out a form to reflect your nationality. They all sound menial but it can require more effort and derailments can happen that take you of course even with the copious amount of research you’ve done beforehand. This also happens when you’re not an expat. Dealing with managers, properties, families, things change. But through it all, it’s important to remember to laugh and to know your capable. Hopefully this offers a bit of laughter, the wind 🌬 whipping me on a beach 🏖 in Portugal 🇵🇹. #expatlife #visitlisbon

A serene scene in the algarve. ☀️☀️My first bank holiday weekend in London as an expat has been a fun one. Loads of sun and fun hangs and life planning. Can’t be mad at that 👍🏾 #expatlife
