If you were following my previous travel blog (destinationeurope.net), you’d know that not too long ago I said I could never live a nomadic life. Well, never say never right? Last week I finished packing up my apartment in Paris and put all my stuff in storage. I’m now officially homeless!
My current plan is to have no plans. More or less.
I do have a few short work trips organised which start today with my first ever trip to Portugal! I’ll be staying in a beautiful apartment in Lisbon provided by HouseTrip and then I’ll be heading to northern Portugal to spend some time in Porto for the Travel Bloggers Unite travel conference.
After that it’s off to the beautiful Catalan city Girona for another conference. I’ve visited Girona a couple of times before and it’s one of my favourite cities in Spain. It’s definitely worth a visit if you get the chance.
I’ll finish the month off in London, this time for a food bloggers conference so after that you can expect to see a lot more foodie posts around here!
I’ve added a new widget to my sidebar which shows my upcoming travel plans so if it looks like we might cross paths let me know and we can meet up.
What are you travel plans this month?






Good luck Andrea! Enjoy yourself in Portugal. I’m looking forward to seeing the photos and hearing all about it.
It should be fun. Have you been?
No, but it’s high on my wish list. I have a possible house exchange there! You’ve certainly sparked off a lively discussion.
good Luck Andrea, seems like a great idea .. Is Ferbent going with you too
..yes looking forward
to lots of photos and stories about your trips, wonder where you will end up!!
Thanks Anne! Ferbent isn’t going to the conferences with me but we’ll be travelling around Europe together of course.
How wonderful … I think it is a fab thing you are doing , and I love your little Fiat, very cute, now I understand why you cannot fit me in
as well as your luggage . Happy travels
Wow! You’re a busy gal. Have FUN!
Sorry you’re not going to TBU. It would have been fun to hang out.
Look forward to meeting you at TBU! I wanted to do the Lisbon thing but didn’t find out about it in time.
Shame you missed out. I did the HouseTrip blog trip in Rome just before the last TBU and it was one of the best blog trips I’ve ever been on so I have high expectations of this one! Can’t wait to meet up!
How brave of you, Andrea. I guess it’s something I could never do. I’m too old for that, and I know that for as much as I love traveling, I need to go back to my home from time to time. I look forward to read your next adventures. And you know that you’re always welcome in Milan!
I’ve thought about doing it so many times in the past but like you I’ve always liked to have my home to go back to. But it has come to the point where it’s cheaper for me to travel than to have a base in Paris so I just decided to pack up and leave. I’m not sure how long I’ll last though!
You are a Renaissance Woman!! Wow, what a giant leap into the unknown. You must be excited and frightened at the same time..I know I would be! I wish you nothing but the best of luck my friend and hope you conquer every turn in the road ahead with nothing but success!
I am excited! Thanks for your support Jeff. So far I’m loving the freedom.
What? I didn’t think you were going to do it so early. We do have a lot to catch up on.
It was a very spontaneous thing. One day we just said enough is enough and started packing. But I thought I told you we were doing it? Sorry if I didn’t! I think all the stress from moving has fried my brain a little!
Are you going to be at WTM as well in London, or just the food bloggers conference? Either way would love to see you again either there or back in Paris!
I will be at WTM. Let’s meet up there!
Wow! I’m only just catching up on my reader and came across your news. Enjoy your nomadic travels. I lived in Portugal for a year, down on the Algarve and travelled around the country on the back of my husband’s motorbike. Some of my most carefree memories are on that bike travelling through the Alentejo. Look forward to seeing where your travels take you.
Wow, what an amazing experience that must have been! I just got back from Portugal and loved it. Can’t wait to return but for now I have to hand in the keys to my apartment and then head to Spain for the next conference. I’ll be back in Paris again in November and I think (hope!) Rosemary is going to organise another meetup so hopefully I’ll see you then.
