Actually I don’t know mine as much as I wanted to, what is a shame, especially given the fact that it is not that big (actually quite the contrary); plus it is so beautiful!

Last summer, me and Mr. 0730 had planned a roadtrip through Portugal, but in the end we couldn’t be off of our jobs together in the days we wanted, and it didn’t happened.

Maybe next summer… Meanwhile I’m constantly receiving pins with stunning pictures of portuguese landscapes and I can’t resist to share some of my favorite here. And Porto again, yeah! 🙂

There is so many gorgeous portuguese cities and places missing, but I certainly will have the opportunity to include them here sometime.

Porto ❤

As tomorrow, besides being friday, is the last day of the month, and I have some ‘pinspiration’ to share, I’m antecipating the {0730} weekend plans for two feature and today I’ll tell you about Porto.

It is always a pleasure to see my hometown referred as a must-see destination. The last time it happened was here (at the World of Wanderlust), where it was included in a list of ‘The 12 most romantic small towns in Europe‘, and it was really good to see it side by side with amazingly beautiful places as Cinque Terre; and I can tell you, for sure, that Porto really deserves to be in this list! If I just could pick only one adjective to describe it, I agree with Brooke Saward and it will be charming.

I had planned to share some suggestions of places, in my opinion, not to miss if you have the opportunity to visit Porto but, as I’m in a hurry today, I’ll leave that part for next week’s {0730} weekend plans for two post, ok?

You can buy the flight now (you won’t regret it!) and plan the whole itinerary after next friday 🙂

Meanwhile, I suggest you to take a look at this video that I love [Porto – European Best Destination 2014 on Vimeo].

Behind every great professional there’s a gorgeous office!

I’m still working at home, as I’ve already shared with you here, the news is I am now working full time to a single company. As everything in life, it has pros and cons but the bottom line is positive. As certainly you’ve already noticed, managing my time in order to write here at {0730} blog is definitely a disadvantage, but I’ll try to change that.

For a start I’m inaugurating a new {0730} feature, where I’m sharing workspaces I love on wednesdays – {0730} inspiring workspaces – (1) because I really believe that ‘Behind every great professional there’s a gorgeous office’ (or at least it should be) 🙂 + (2) also because this is good to get some ideias to improve my own workspace and + (3) it is a great way to discover inspirational people as well.

This first wednesday, I’m bringing you the office of the photographer Shannon Moffit. You can see more pics of this absolutely inspiring workspace, and know more about Shannon, here (at The Everygirl).

Simple yet stunning, isn’t it?
