I write about living a creative life & slow travels from Portugal

Hi, I'm Shanna. I'm a writer from California who moved to Portugal in 2018. You might know me from my Instagram account a_vegan_in_portugal or my So You Want to Move to Portugal sessions (now defunct).My publication on the Substack platform is called life: examined.
life: examined is a compendium of ideas, thoughts, and questions about living a creative, intentional life—written to you from my perch in Portugal.
I ask big questions and explore thoughtful topics, about living simply, creatively, and intentionally. Join me by signing up for life: examined and buy me a coffee if you feel moved to do so. Thank you!
