There is no such thing as escaping uncertainty. I've decided to embrace it. Literally.

"Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark." - Agnes de Mille

Coming and going. After spending a week in this quiet and peaceful beach, it’s been somehow difficult to be back in the city. For the first time since I embraced this “life on the road” I have no clue where is next. The only clarity is the constant movement of coming and going. . Indo e vindo. Depois de passar uma semana nessa praia linda e tranquila, estar de volta na cidade não tem sido fácil. E pela primeira vez, desde que eu abracei essa “vida na estrada”, eu não faço ideia qual será a próxima parada. Minha única clareza é esse movimento contínuo de ir e vir. . .

Not the best travel picture and far from being the best one of Maputo. This is, however, the best picture to say that life isn’t always great, beautiful, or easy as it appears on Instagram. Specially life on the road. It seems glamorous and full of adventures, but has its ups and downs. Yes, I travel a lot. Yes, it makes me extremely happy to be on the move all the time and I can’t imagine a different life for myself right now. But I do pay a price for the choices I make. I travel on a budget, I sometimes don’t know if I’ll have the money to get to my next destination, and when I do, it usually means hours and days sitting in front of a computer writing reports, analyzing data, cursing the internet connection. . Don’t believe - or judge - someone’s life from social media posts. Life doesn’t need to be always amazing to be worth living. . .

It’s official: this year I’ve spent more days away from “home” than spent at “home”(1). As people keep asking me when I’m heading back home, I get more and more used to answer that home is where I am, here and now. Home is the feeling I have when after months away I go back to a Cafe and people know what I’m going to order (almond mocha, right?), or the feeling I get when arriving in a place I’ve never been before and it feels known to me. As I continue my journey embracing the uncertainties of my life, I realize that home for me is where I’m happy, and not being in one single place has made me quite happy in the past few years - with all the ups and downs it entails. Where and what is home for you? . Agora é oficial: nesse ano passei mais tempo fora do que em “casa” (1). À medida em que as pessoas continuam me perguntando quando eu “volto para casa”, eu vou aperfeiçoando a minha resposta de que minha casa é onde estou, aqui e agora. Estar em casa é a sensação que eu tenho em entrar num Café depois de meses fora e o garçom saber o que eu vou pedir (mocha com leite de amêndoa, certo?), ou aquela sensação de chegar num lugar completamente novo que parece ser conhecido. Conforme continuo nessa minha jornada de abraçar as incertezas da minha vida, eu vou percebendo e aceitando que casa é onde eu me sinto feliz, e não ter um lugar fixo tem me feito muito feliz nos últimos anos - com todas as alegrias e tristezas que essa minha escolha me proporciona. E você, onde você se sente em casa? . . [29.jul.18] . . #homeiswheretheheartis #mrbinafrica #literaluncertainty #mytemporaryhomesandi #eueminhasmoradastemporarias . (1) by home I mean my country of citizenship // meu país de origem.
