So I've been back home now for nearly 2 months, the 5 months trip was the
trip of my life.
So many experiences, so
many new friends and most importantly I finally got over
myself, I have no more problems to be alone, wether to travel
in a foreign country or just to be anywhere on my own..
Finally I found the peace
of mind and realized that there's no need to be scared of life or to be afraid what
other people might think.
So back to Portugal, its
been great times so far, met so many new people, old friends, people came to
visit and we've been having heaps of fun.

My mum left to England and
she's going to buy a place in Hawaii sometime soon, so I'll guess my
family ties in Portugal will be extincted soon
This makes me think a lot
and I came to the conclusion, that I don't want to spend anymore
depressing winters in Europe.
My heart longs to be in
the sun in the heat far away from all the rain and all the gray windy
days.
So I guess in fall I will
be back on the road, if everything goes as I am planning.
So when I got back from my
trip, a couple of people, came up to me and gave me head ups for my
travels and adventures they followed my blog and my social media
sites.
Also a couple of mates
contacted me to get some fitness tips, most of them know me for a
long time so they could tell by the photos and videos about my
evolution.
Its an achievement for me
to inspire other people in a positive way so I gladly helped them the
best I could, its really not a big secret about improving our
physiques:
- 75% depends on what we eat.
- 25% depends on how much we exercise.
So this was really very
positive, of course there were also negative comments and approaches
from people, like “what are you gonna do with your future”, or
one time I was sitting at night in a bar and a guy asked me where my
muscle shirt was.
I guess people always tend
to point fingers at others, its so much easier to criticize the
neighbor than to get our fat asses up and change ourselves.
One guy told me: “When I
am 50 my bank account will look much better than yours”, well have
fun with your money, your cars, your houses, your stuff... Because I
am not worrying about whats gonna be when I am 50, I prefer to enjoy
whats happening right now and I listen to my heart when it comes to
living, not my mind or what society wants me to be.

Of course its important to
work, have an income and have goals, there's no doubt about that, but
I'd rather be a free traveler with an average income, than a
corporate slave or just daddy's son who never really worked for
anything in life.
It feels wonderful having
this balance in living a healthy life with a good diet and an active
lifestyle but also I don't forget to feed my soul, my imagination and
my thoughts with positivity.

I am single now for over a
year and I must say it feels good not to be constantly looking and
searching for a partner. I just live my day by day with an open
heart, meeting new people and not giving other people any
expectations.
I think expectations are
the worst, its so important to be honest and fair to each other, even
if its often not the easiest way, trust me its the right one. Truth
in the end always wins.
As usual I am gonna finish
my post with a quote:
“Take a seat and expect
or take a step and act”.
