When I did my inaugural residency in Madrid (see Recap! Madrid Residency), I blogged daily about my life as a Spaniard. I have decided to do the same when I am in Lisbon. This introductory post brings back an old blog strategy called ‘a-live’, short for Alex Alive and Alex is Live. The novel concept of hopping from country to country and blogging as I went was short-lived due to the unavailability of Wi-Fi, the tedious process of uploading photos, and the inability of my brain to formulate sentences after a night out in the new or often old town.
Since I will be [mostly] stationary in this trip, I thought I would give this another go. The last thing I want is another Trip Report that is overdue (see World Cup 2022).
Surprised you chose Lisbon over Porto
Residency philosophy is big cities only. I’ll visit Porto for a day trip.
