My Barcelona

The Lisbon Blues

January 21, 2020January 22, 2020 Ioana

With cities, it’s like with relationships. You see it for the first time, you like it, you want to know more about it. The spark bursts, and you move in, you start to get along, you get accustomed to new habits. Eventually, you wear each other out, and you move on. Continue reading The Lisbon Blues

About Travel in Patterns

Hi, I am Ioana, and I like to travel while working remotely. Sometimes I travel for short term, sometimes I stop and live in a new city for a while, getting to know new languages and local habits.

Over the years, I have called ‘home’ several cities across Europe including Lisbon, Bilbao, Amsterdam and Milan, until I fell in love in Barcelona, where I am based now. I have a twelve-years background in architecture, practicing it and writing about it, and I like to capture nice stories, patterns and colours around me. And to live by the sea.
