This was the trip where everything went wrong – we all have them. Maybe I was overdue. When you travel a lot, you learn to roll with the punches because there's no point in getting worked up about things that are beyond your control. You have to adapt, change your plans, and make the best of it. So, you may be wondering, what exactly happened?

The fourth edition of PyCon Portugal was in Cascais, and, just like last year, I was one of the volunteers that helped organize the conference program. In addition to unexpectedly presenting a talk in addition to my workshop, I also learned how to make pastel de nata.

After PyCon Italia in May, I had the full month of June at home. I used this time without any travel to update two of my workshops for the SciPy conference. For the first time ever, I would be presenting two workshops at a single conference – both of which were four hours long.

This year's PyCon Italia was in Bologna, the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region. In addition to presenting a talk, I got to enjoy spectacular food and company and get a taste of Modena and Ravenna (two nearby cities in Emilia-Romagna).

While I've presented several times at ODSC and PyCon US in the past few years, this trip was filled with unexpected developments. For one, I was presented with my first ever speaker award, which I will cherish forever ❤️ You'll have to read this post to learn about the rest.
