About Fika Comigo

Welcome to Fika Comigo, a space where I invite you to join me on a journey of self-discovery and mindful living in Portugal. Inspired by the Swedish tradition of Fika – taking a break to savor a coffee and connect with the moment – this blog explores the beauty of slowing down and appreciating the simple pleasures of life, such as coffee and cake.

A Mindful Journey in Portugal

Moving to my first home has been a transformative experience, opening my eyes to the power of mindfulness and sustainable practices. I’ve since embraced a more intentional way of living. I’ve learned to cook delicious and healthy meals using fresh, local ingredients, and I’m constantly seeking ways to incorporate eco-friendly habits into my daily routine. The idea for Fika Comigo came from a desire to share this passion for mindful living and sustainable practices in Portugal.

Finding joy in everyday activities has become a goal of my mindful living journey. Whether it’s nurturing houseplants, creating a cozy and sustainable home environment, or simply getting lost in a good book, these simple practices help me slow down, appreciate the present moment, and connect with myself.
