Change(s) first: Early in the new year my blog posts will appear on my new WordPress website, and this site will no longer be active. There’ll be a final post here indicating when that happens. The address for the website will remain the same, http://www.triciapimental.com, but will have a whole fresh look.
Something else new: I’m been posting on myatozchallenge.com, which I discovered at http://www.juliedawnfox.com. Julie Dawn Fox’s blog is of particular interest to me because I live in Portugal, but there’s always valuable info for the armchair traveler. Check it out!
And now for Hope: Click here: The Christmas Scale – YouTube
Wishing everyone a beautiful Christmas and a happy and healthy 2014…
About Tricia Pimental
Brooklyn-born Tricia Pimental moved to Portugal in 2012, where she found rural life so idyllic she wrote a piece for the Living the Dream section of International Living Magazine. Today she serves as their Portugal Correspondent.
The former actress and Toastmaster has written three award-winning books: Rabbit Trail: How a Former Playboy Bunny Found Her Way, Slippery Slopes, and A Movable Marriage. Other writing credits include two travel books for International Living: The Old-World Charms of Portugal and Escape to Portugal, and a 15-part video series entitled Portugal 101.
Tricia has discovered one of the best parts about living in Europe is the ability to sample the culture (especially all that food and beverage) of many countries via road trips. She and her husband Keith—and their intrepid Maltese, Carson—have traveled through Spain, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Denmark, and more, as well as Ireland, Eastern Europe, Russia, and the Baltic States.
After renting in various regions of the country, Tricia and Keith now own a quinta in central Portugal. She blogs at www.triciapimental.com.
