hey y'all from my room here in Lisbon I'm so excited to be here I've actually been to Lisbon before two times now so me and Elizabeth we go way back if you haven't seen my past videos I'm traveling for the summer for literally like two months going to all these different places what's exciting about this leg of my summer journey is that I am staying at my first ever co-working co-living spot which I've always wanted to try I work for myself if you're on YouTube and I'm always looking to like meet more like-minded Travelers who have to be productive and aren't just in like vacation holiday mode but also are open-minded want to meet other people you know they like this on the go lifestyle so I'm here outside in Lisbon this is amazing location and what's super fun is one of my good friends Jacob from California is doing Lisbon and outside for my I'm here so I'll be hanging with him quite a bit I'm excited to just kind of have like a semblance for routine after 12 while I'm like I feel like that's what this week's gonna be all about kind of like a productive week in Lisbon there's a shared communal Kitchen in each floor and a shared communal workspace on each floor and then the bottom floor is this really big Cafe where a lot of people are working each day the Wi-Fi is strong I've already tested it I think goodness the last few places I've been I've had no Wi-Fi and you know you broke out of work yeah let's let's have a weekend Lisbon shall we love my head I let you go it feels so good to go to a gym and while I know that might sound crazy for some and have a semblance of a routine and do something like going to the gym makes you feel like you're actually living somewhere so that felt so lovely also look at my view casual so many people here are working like East Coast Us hours there's a lot of staying out late there's a lot of working late then staying home and then sleeping in late and it's been a cycle so didn't go to the gym until like 9 30 and now it's 11 I'm gonna grab brunch with Jacob and one of his friends that he's made here you see a little bit of Lisbon so let's get ready how's the digital Nomad life been treating you so far it's going well we're surrounded by a whole bunch of like-minded individuals which is so nice people have just like picked up from whatever country they're in and moved to it Lisbon when everyone's working at the same time it's like spot on let's go be productive tour you can barely fit very simple and sweet there is a fan and no easy but the fan is good enough a lovely view it does have a little shower which is nice but Jacob who booked for longer and booked much earlier than I did because I only booked like a week and a half ago has an incredible room for basically a very similar price so I'll show you guys his um case you want to come here you know what you're signing up for there's the common space Jacob's gonna give us a little room tour here's Jacob's room considerably bigger than mine how do you like your space the best comfortable bat the pillows are great I will say the bed's honestly so nice hell yes super high ceilings which makes a big difference in making a Space feel good he has a great desk setup you can just look out on this amazing view in Lisboa the only thing is you share a bathroom with like two or three people yes yes okay taking quick second to thank today's sponsor I am so excited I got a very special package from AJ jeans so let's first talk a little bit about some denim life cycle facts so studies show that over 2 million tons of waste is generated annually through the production of denim jeans it's also made it at around 2 900 liters of water go into creating a pair of denim and then on top of that you know there's other chemicals that are needed to create these pairs of jeans which ultimately then leads to air pollution water pollution just other waste back in 2019 they ended up using a new water filtration system which is recycled over 3 million gallons of Wastewater and Counting since its launch and then in 2021 they launched the gene of Tomorrow capsule which I want to talk to you guys about which is their exploration to the most sustainable components and processes available to Showcase that this industry can be clean and secular so with the third generation of the gene of Tomorrow capsule they're focusing on sending the life cycle of garments that are already in circulation they basically invited their customers to bring in their pre-loved denim to be reused and recycled into this year's collection in hopes of essentially minimizing waste and giving old denim a new life which we love I'm obsessed with the set I think it's so cute it's such a great design it feels really high quality I think it works all year but it'll especially be great as fall approaches and we get some cooler weather and I'm just so excited about this collection it's like everything I love fashion and stability working together to if you want to check this out for yourself everything will of course be linked down below thanks AJ jeans for sponsoring this video not a lovely productive day worked at the co-working cafe here at outside and got a lot done I've ordered like three coffees now there's a group dinner that they posted about and I think like 20 people from outside are all going out to dinner together to see where everyone's from what they're up to see a little bit of a Liz boa in the Thursday evening so let's go hello good morning how are we doing definitely a struggled to wake up you're out so late last night we all went out and everyone was so lovely definitely a lot of Americans more than I expected as well as some people from over but it was such a fun time now I'm ready to get a little brunch Elizabeth and get some work going a little Stir Crazy in my room thank you it's been a night one cocktail and we're done for dinner hello good morning how are we doing I went on a beautiful run this morning it was a little toasty but it's definitely one of my favorite ways to get to see new cities by running because you get to cover ground quite literally quite a bit I'm gonna do some more exploring today it's very sunny Sunday I figured though I'd share some of my thoughts I can't say now after being here for like about a week or so that this is definitely a great way if you are traveling solo as a remote worker you need good Wi-Fi you need to be productive but you also want to meet people something like this could be a really good fit some people are like staying here for just a week some people are staying here for a month or two because most food boots are kind of here on their own people are very like social and wanting to meet other and this location is really really great as soon as you walk outside the front door there's a million incredible like cafes restaurants you name it there's a lot going on like right under me essentially very cute City amazing food scene there are like a ton of expats which comes with challenges of its own really nice to like kind of feel like I'm catching my breath here not in Taurus mode I'm more so finding like little favorite spots and going back to them I think for me doing one of these I was talking to someone in Georgia I'm like okay we decided to be the ultimate tourists one in Portugal you know might as well learn a little history historically fascinating area and so what are we doing we're taking a little Tick Tock around the town well I don't even know what they are telling my friend who's actually Portuguese I was doing that and he roasted me a little bit we looked for somebody who looked normal fun yeah she seems cool and hip and we're like we want to hang out with you foreign such a fun way to see the like Lisbon from the water yeah if you're traveling and you want to stay fit on the go I have no muscles but I'm trying not to guilt-trip you I have not been working out that much but this is very helpful literally all I brought this stretchy band this leg band this running belt and these three things are all I need to get a great full body workout in a very small amount of space I've been using this leg band to like amplify hit workouts great for working on a little glute building and then I've been using this as my primary arm workout whereas this you can use in so many different ways to did arm workout in okay let's work out I rearranged Furniture this is all the space I need to get it pretty nice out in Lisbon Lots and lots very steep house
