BruxoDrewXO

Basking in its homey comforts, and exploring the numerous amenities of our new neighborhood of Campo de Ourique. After a few days we will invite some of our local friends to visit, but for now, this is our private paradise.

We arrived a week ago, and stayed at a hotel that we were well acquainted with from a previous trip. After a few nights of festivals, pride marches, and revelry at the night clubs, we arrived today at our apartment.

This is to ensure accuracy as well as to ensure that the entire project does not reek of cultural appropriation and is done with the respect that it deserves.

The few books on the subject are in Portuguese, setting a linguistic hurdle for those who dare approach it. Once my work bears fruit, I hope to present my findings to those experts I mentioned.

It is my hope that I will be able to share my findings and bring this topic to the US audience, as much of the subject has previously been confined to videos that are light on information, or locked within the depths of academia.

I am still within the research phase of the project, but have also established a loose connection to two experts on the topic.

Things have been progressing well for the move, as well as personal development and growth. I have Ironed out the plans for a project I wish to undertake for my channel as well as potentially a literary endeavor.

We just put in a bid on an apartment in our dream neighborhood. It’s close to restaurants, markets, a beautiful park, and there’s a cemetery next door. Looks like I’m the creepy Bruxo who lives next to a cemetery.

Had dinner with a good friend, and set our realtor to investigate 3 properties in 2 of our favorite neighborhoods. I can scarcely believe that we will be starting a new life in 3 weeks.

Felt cute here’s a pic

Writing. Learning to do death metal vocals. Hitting the gym. Taking up yoga. I want my life to reflect my interests, instead of filling a profitable niche or being talked out of things by others Even if I only do a few of the things I listed, I feel that I will truly like the person in the mirror.

I’m trying to envision my life abroad. I’ve decided that I’m going to hit the reset button. I’m going to pursue things that enrich me as a person. I’ve dabbled with the notion of fostering a gay pagan community in Lisboa. Learning leatherwork and selling my wares when I’m proficient.

Our Visa’s came today! In 30 days we move to Portugal!

Packing and downsizing. Still no sign of our Visa’s.

We have submitted our Visa Applications. The rejection rate at this point of the process is extremely low. We will know for certain in the next 60 days.

Yup! You found me. More to come!
