Co-Working at A New Office

I spent the last 2 years working from my home office. It was an interesting and productive experience but I’m happy I found a new place to spend my work days.

For the last 12 months I was spending at least 1 day every 2 weeks at CoreFactor office in Lisbon. They just let me crash in once in a while and the time I spend there was good. We had some nice brainstorming sessions, discussed potential projects and enjoyed the occasional beer. It felt good to have office colleagues again.

So, last September, I started paying a rent and using the office to do some co-working full time.

Interestingly, last week a news article came out on the Jornal de Negócios talking about this whole co-working thing and mentioning me and a few other interesting co-working projects.

There’s a mention to the beautiful Liberdade 229 project that is well run by the cool Quodis team.

For me, it has been a very enjoying experience. Specially for being surrounded by nice people and very close to a bunch of small cafes and nice restaurants. It all helps to get the most of my day, every day.

Barcelona for the Wine, Logroño for the Future

I’ll be spending this whole week in Spain. I’m actually already writing this post from Spain, specifically in Terrassa (near Barcelona) where the Catavino HQ (and my accommodation while here) is located.

I started my trip to Spain by having lunch at the famous Boqueria (a food lovers paradise!). Barcelona looks wonderful and I’ve only visited the market and took the bus from the airport. Tonight is time for some grilling & wine drinking, after all I’m chez Ryan and Gabriella and these two are some dedicated wine lovers.

Boqueria

From Wednesday I’ll be in Logroño at the WineFuture conference where I’ll be showing how Adegga can help wineries and doing lots of demos of the AVIN with couple of Cortes de Cima 2007 bottles.

It’s going to be interesting. Two days together with some of the more well known people in the wine world like Robert Parker, Jancis Robinson, Gary Vaynerchuck (who does WineLibraryTV and Corkd), Ryan Opaz (yes, the one from Catavino) and a few more. Some crazy numbers: almost 1000 participants, 10.700 wine glasses, 600 bottles for the grand tasting. Lots of talking, meeting, drinking coming up!
