Financial Mistakes I Made in My 20s (And Still Make)
I opened the fridge, ready to cook a delicious dinner with fresh ingredients that I would later soak on sriracha sauce for extra flavour. A plastic bag of kale was getting most of my visual attention, but something behind it got my eye. A small box of eggs. I grabbed the box with caution not to drop it and, to my regret, I saw the expiration date. With two expired eggs and fear of getting salmonella, I decided to throw them away. And I experienced a déjà vu. “I have been here before”, I thought. But I wasn’t sure when. A few days before something similar happened with a pack…

Sweet Tooth In Tallinn?
After a few days in Estonia’s main city, I decided to discover some cosy cafes to spend part of my free time working and enjoying a cup of local coffee.

It’s a great neighbourhood if you want to enjoy the quietness of the outskirts, alongside having access to a huge amount of stylish international restaurants. It’s also…

A few weeks later, they cancelled the program due to the severity of the virus and the national lockdown. About a couple of months ago, they opened the program again. Countries are slowly reopening and the number of cases and deaths is slowly decreasing, but we will continue working from home for a few more months. This makes the present moment the ideal time to be able to work from abroad. Being away for a month sounded like the most exciting experience to have, especially after being trapped in…
