As promised, I want to dedicate my testimony to Maria Inês.
We first met when she, then a complete stranger, showed up at my door and offered to clean my apartment (which honestly set an unrealistically high bar for all future friendships). And then I got to spend the next months seeing her in the office, sitting right next to a photograph of a mystery man whose identity remains one of Lisbon’s greatest unsolved secrets.
Besides this OBVIOUS highlight of my stay, I can also say that I enjoyed the rest of it as well.
Lisbon is quite an international city, which makes it incredibly easy to meet people from all over the world. I’m so happy to have met everyone I did, and thankful for all the friendships and experiences that came with it. I also had the chance to travel around Portugal and discover some beautiful places, including the Algarve and Madeira.
When I wasn’t busy giving Maria Inês compliments (my main task), I was supposedly working. My daily routine consisted of keeping way too many Canva tabs open and executing my core marketing masterplan: cornering every person who came to the office and making them follow Spin. Some call it marketing; others call it social pressure. I call it organic growth. After all, nothing drives organic reach quite like weaponized politeness and awkward social obligation.
Sorry to everyone I pressured into following us (actually, I’m not sorry at all. 10/10 experience, would corner strangers again).
Besides, winter is coming. Having bravely endured two Portuguese winters, my threshold for indoor hypothermia is now remarkably high. Still, I’d prefer to spend the next one within close distance of a properly functioning Polish heating system.
Jokes aside, I’m genuinely grateful for everything I experienced during these 11 months. I had an amazing time, made wonderful memories, and will definitely look back on this experience with a lot of fondness.
PS. FOLLOW SPIN!
PSS. Please like this testimony. I’m still chasing organic reach, even in my farewell speech.
