First chapter: Portugal
I am writing this text about Portugal retrospectively while I am already in Norway. On the intense journey back to Germany and the three-week stopover there, during which I was also never really alone, there was simply no moment to put my Portugal experience into words.
(Text continues below)
Despite the five months time I summarize it briefly: Portugal was a very intense trip for me. I have learned a lot about myself and have consistently pushed the limits of my endurable fears and happiness. The place there seemed to give me no break and certainly I was very ready for it, after 6 years in the countyside where I had lived very much in a constant security.
This time changed me a lot and made me more connected to myself and the world and the people around me, that were important to me. I learned that facing your fears does not mean dying, but that they disappear when you go through them.
The first months have worked well and it is a wonderful book for the Maro Verlag resulted. Feel free to check it out ;) Since it was so cold in my accommodation, I worked from the van as much as possible. This way I could stand with a view to the sea and still had the feeling to get a lot of Portugal. Since the sun was shining most of the time, it quickly got warm in the car. After the job was finished I drew the Belavali House, updated the shop and otherwise enjoyed Portugal to the fullest. Probably go back there after Norway, continue to enjoy.
