As anyone who knows me knows, I live in Portugal's beautiful capital, Lisbon.

I teach English there and live with my wonderful girlfriend, just outside the city. Moving there has been one of the best choices of my life, after a really nice three years in Poland where, in the end, the salary I had just restricted me a bit too much.

Wow, was this ever one that struck a chord with me. The thing I wish I'd learned sooner is how much importance to place on happiness and enjoying what you do with life.
