An Italian-American Girl in Lisbon

Last August I rented out my office/guest bedroom for two weeks, in order to get by between jobs. I was quite nervous at the time, never having shared my day to day life and apartment with anyone, let alone a stranger. Little did I know that I was about to gain  a friend.

Daniela came to Lisbon to learn Portuguese. She’s an Italian-American living in Paris. Super energetic, sweet & fun to be around, Dani’s visit was a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed showing her around my favorite spots in the city, taking her to eat at some cute and delicious restaurants, to concerts and just having her as a housemate.

These are a few shot’s from her stay. I have no idea if there are more in other films. I’ve been lazy with developing films lately…

Lud hanged with us quite a bit as well. Here at Grémio do Carmo. We stayed there all afternoon with Vera & Hugo, with the place all to ourselves. Unfortunately Grémio closed, just a few weeks ago after a very successful year.

Took her to see Filho da Mãe playing live. Of course :).

We also took the boat and crossed to the other side of the river so Lud would show us her favorite spots in Almada’s coast.

And that’s all for today.

I hope to be renting out the room again this summer.
