This site has been dormant for a few months. I stopped writing because something unimaginable happened in my life on 29 October 2023.

MY DAD DIED

It was unimaginable because he seemed immortal after overcoming so many hardships in his life. But on 29 October, at the age of 87, his heart gave out. Today, almost 5 months later, I still can’t accept it. I have the feeling that I’ll be able to call him in a little while and tell him more about my daily life, talk to him about politics, rugby, cooking and secularism.

His death leaves a void that nothing can ever fill.

That’s precisely why I’m going to start writing on this site again. I know that he will never be able to read anything, but this site that I kept up to date for myself, as a travel diary, but also for Mum and him, will continue to be updated.

Adeu meu pare.

Every time I write a line here, I’ll think of you.

I know we’ll never see each other again, you didn’t believe in anything else after life on earth and neither did I.

I love you.
