What saved me in Portugal (and could spark something for you)
Where the hell I have disappeared? Is Good Vibes Day Out over?
🤗 Hey, I am Anna, founder and leader of Good Vibes Day Out. Welcome back to the Newsletter!
Good Vibes Day Out is a community, events and weekend trips to create connections and spend a beautiful day outdoors, and now also it is about connecting with meaning, slow traveling and curated spaces where you can drop the mask and be real. I am explaining why below.

Long time no see! You might ask what has happened?...Well, I have been hesitating for a while, a couple of weeks, to be honest, if I should talk about it or not. But it will be weird to come back again with another concept and content without ever explaining what and why.
So here is the truth: I got burned out…Not because I didn’t like what I was doing, but because I kept doing it in a way that was no longer a fit. I started Good Vibes Day Out two and half years ago with the purpose to create connections and make friends. I was new to Portugal, and after 6 months I have realised that I miss having my crowd to make it feel like home.

Through running this community and beyond it, I have been able to meet great people and make real friends. I have had the deepest and most honest conversations in my life with them. My friends became my pillar and my growth engine. The friends’ support kept me going even in doubts, even falling down the rabbit hole, questioning why I’d poured so much time and energy into events and community building.
💛 To everyone who opened up, who let me open up, who clicked, resonated, and put in the time, you’re my gold.
Taking a pause in organizing made me realise that focusing on travel & destinations exhausted me because people and their stories were my driver in the first place. Also nn creative work it is so enticing to follow the audience, views, likes and forget about what feeds your energy, inspiration and spark.

So is Good Vibes Day Out over?
Nope, but it is evolving. Still nature, still connections, but now with more meaning, more alignment and a higher standard of care. So think slow traveling and curated spaces where you can drop the mask and be real.
✨To celebrate this shift, I’ve created a mini-retreat, August 16-17

✨ A summer weekend in Alentejo during the meteor showers!
What’s planned?
🌿Stargazing with zero light pollution
🌿Staying in the glamping in the middle of nowhere
🌿Yoga + sound bowl sessions to fully relax
🌿Hikes along Alentejo coast, cliffs and wild beaches
🌿Candlelight dinner under starry sky
🌿And of course… good vibes, shared moments, and connection
PLUS: I’ll be adding a little twist this time:
We’ll have space to reflect together on how we connect with each other, and how we can make the most of these experiences.
👉 August 16-17
👉 Alentejo
👉 Includes two weeks of shared space online before the trip to get to know each other
If you feel it, it would be great to have you in this journey! 🌠
