Thought I needed a fixed apartment in Lisbon, then my host asked me one question at breakfast
I was paying 1,100 euros a month for a place in Alfama just so I'd have a "home base," and my host Ines asked why I was renting a storage unit for a city I leave every 6 weeks. Switched to booking monthly stays and put the difference into a better health plan, so what made you finally drop your home base?
Wait, 1100 euros just so you'd have a place to store stuff while you're gone every 6 weeks? That's wild. And Ines just casually dropped that question over breakfast like it was nothing, that's the kind of thing that would've wrecked my whole morning honestly. So you were basically paying rent on a storage unit with a bed in it. I'm still stuck on the fact that you were dropping over a thousand a month on a place you barely slept in. How long did it take before you actually pulled the plug after she said that?
