Hi, this is Coco, welcome to my blog. I blog for hobby about our expat life in Brasilia (currently). I have two daughters (9 and 12). I am married to my desk mate from 4th grade. I am passionate about doing things that makes me feel alive, both at work and in life.
Focus of this blog
Life happenings: to document the good, bad, fun things we do. Each of these experiences take us to new places, new adventures, new challenges, new cultures.
Travels: I am so passionate about traveling. Although my job entails quite a lot of traveling, I still enjoy traveling for leisure, especially with my family. It is The experience that I can’t get enough. I love how it opens my eyes and mind, forced me to experience the uncomfortable, break the routine and structure, learn about new realities and life styles, and become more resilient.
Thoughts: random thoughts and reflections about life topics.
Food/exercise: I used to blog about food in a daily basis because I genuinely enjoy cooking and eating good food. I like to cook for leisure, not for necessity. I like to try new recipes for my loved ones to try. Exercise is a big part of my life as I crave endorphins in a daily basis. Running is my favorite form of exercise and try to run 1 marathon per year. As I am in my mid 40s, I am focusing on build muscles and strength. I also do yoga regularly.
My family: family is everything to me! I used to work a lot and didn’t have time to spend with my girls. As they get older, the urgency of spending more quality time with them became stronger. Thanks to flexible working hours, I try to be home when they are home after school and activities. My weekends are always centered around the family. As I got older, it became clearer what is important for me in life, and that is personal relationships, family most of all.
