Every year, my partner and I spend a few months in Portugal and work from there. Most of the time, we work from the same location, in the Lisbon area or the area around Coimbra / Serra da Lousã.
Although public WiFi is widely available in Portugal, in cafes and restaurants, we have our own setup. We both work for clients from our laptops, so we need a secure connection.
Last year was tough. I had grand plans to travel and work in different locations.
But my health deteriorated even more than the years before, forcing me to slow down.
I stopped trying to ‘hike myself back to health’ because it seemed to make my condition worse. I quit making appointments with friends because I had to cancel most plans. I even stopped my Wanderlust Daydreaming because what was the point of it? After every slight exertion, I became seriously ill.
