I’m sitting in a beach themed bar at the airport in Luanda

I’m watching a soccer World Cup game

I’m drinking a local beer called the Luandina (pictured below)

And I’m listening to one of the most jamming Portuguese songs, which is playing loud enough to be heard throughout the airport (see song of the day)

Life is good 🙂

Today marks the start of my 3 week holiday in Portugal, with a layover of a few hours in Angola on the way there and back.

I’ll be touring Lisbon with Jared and an old childhood friend, Alzira. We’re going to the Rocking in Rio concert where we’ll see Muse, Haim and Bastile. And then spend the rest of the time in Faro, a small town on the south coast (with maybe a sneaky visit to some other towns)

It’s going to be a great opportunity for adventure, perspective and relaxation. And even though I’m taking some work with me, I know I’ll come back feeling rested and ready to take on the rest of the year.

Blogs might be delayed slightly on some days, but I’ll make an effort to write them everyday and post when I find WiFi 🙂

Let the adventure begin! 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
