I’ve a baby girl that demands a lot of attention, but if you’d like we could get that coffee after July 20, when my husband is on paternity leave and can stay with her.
Liza, it was so wonderful to meet you on Clare Egan's Artist's Way call today and you mentioned you had a Substack, and I'm delighted to discover it. I am an American who has lived in 3 European countries, with Spain, now, Barcelona, as my new home as of February, and my older daughter who lives here studied social anthropology so I know she'll be interested in your new Substack on travel, food through the social anthropology lens (as will I). I've traveled to nearly 40 countries and I am fascinated by other cultures. Look forward to following you here.
Thank you Amy, and wonderful to connect with you too. It does look like my Scattered Crumbs and Tangled Tales publication is sth you and your daughter could enjoy! Barcelona is a wonderful place, I lived there 3 months in 2023, and will be traveling back several times in the next ten months, maybe we could even meet in person at some point.
Hi Liza! I'm hoping you'll be amused by my comment (if you can bear with my bit of background before getting to the point). This evening on March 21, 2025 I was reading some Facebook posts about Portugal. Someone had posted a link to an article by Lucy Pepper. I followed the rabbit hole to her post regarding menopause and then her recent interview with Elizabeth.Ink.
I strayed further when I read a comment you made. I looked to see more about you and saw this
Social anthropologist - Professional Coach (CPCC ACC) - Reader - Foodie - Polyglot - Bad at Sketching
My husband and I moved to Faro Portugal just this past December. I was back in the states a week ago for my niece's wedding. This was in Charlotte, North Carolina where everyone is currently glued to college basketball, myself included. So to show how provincial I still can be, I instantly assumed you were referring to
CPCC — Central Piedmont Community College
ACC — Atlantic Coast Conference
😅
So I excitedly read your “reintroduction” hoping you'd mention Charlotte, or even better, Chapel Hill North Carolina.
Ha! I quickly saw that probably none of this holds any meeting for you and felt, well, mislead. As I composed, in my head a stern dressing down of your failure to identify what those letters mean in your world, I had to laugh at myself for being a bit of a ninny.
Now that I've typed this out, on my phone, I feel even more of a ninny. But I have typed it now so I'm going to press Post. So, maybe you'll chuckle or maybe shrug at this crazy American, but do know I come in peace and mean no harm. I also don't know what caused this last bit to be in blue text.
Hi Robbie, acronyms are terrible as don't travel well, I guess. CPCC means Co-Active Professional Certified Coach and ACC is Associated Certified Coach (which is an ICF( international coaching federation) accreditation). Still I put them there for anyone who knows and cars.
I had to look up what a ninny was (English is not my first language) :-)
I don't think you're a ninny. Thank you for stopping by.
Omg you live in Lisbon? Me too! Maybe one day we could go for a coffee and I could pick your brain.
Your new project sounds amazing and I am already excited to read the post about the birds in the Portuguese wine labels. That sounds interesting!
Coffee meet up would be great.

Great, as I will be traveling a lot between now and July 20, so let’s connect in DMs after that date.

Getting read to teach a sociology of food class for the third time, so I'm all about this, Liza!
Nice to have you here, Robyn!
