Day 21 | Sweat Life

Mi Gente! Thank you so much for the Welcome Back special edition of Kizomba Nights on Saturday. Was off the chain. Seeing new faces, students, colleagues, friends and people I’ve known for many years was doubly satisfying: I know that they are ok and they know I am ok. DJ Fofo Ja and DJ The […]

Day 18 | Moda Mwangole

I got a skateboard! I love art, the images, and the holes at the bottom so I can grab it. Dope. Please Mi Gente. Come and celebrate tomorrow with your boy Dr Kizomba an amazing Kizomba Night, Moda Mwangolé! You already know… We are going to party. We are going to laugh. We are going […]

Day 16 | Back At It

Mi Gente. This week, I’ve been waking up with joy on my face. Sunday’s open house was off the charts! The people were enthusiastic, the instructors were on point. We had the very first of the Dsantos franchises come up to give us a hand aka Dsantos VT, under the leadership of Sarah Snow. I […]

Day 12 | Vacation’s Over

I like the buildings in TO, they give me a real concrete jungle feeling. 🏙 It felt good to see old friends. Went to see my dancehall queen champion Lily Vibes. My boy Shotta Biggz! In high school we did real things 🤐😅. Saw my boy Todd Rose. Today is your boy’s last day of […]

Day 6 | Sleeping Beauty

Mi Gente, today is beautiful day, last night was a beautiful night. I spent yesterday playing video games and got a surprise visit from Kimmy & Mathias, Kizomba Canada’s cutest mini-couple. Your doctor even stayed awake long enough to make it to Moka Salsa social. 😴 Your boy is off to give a private to […]

Day 4 | Jet Lagged

Damn. The jet lag is killing me. Waking up in a new apartment as well, I’m out of the comfort zone. Feeling like a total stranger in my city. Your boy wanted to go out to Baila con Gusto last night but by the time I had my clothes on I was too tired. I […]

Day 1 | New Home, New Routine

Mi Gente! #stuckinlisbon, one of the biggest experiences of my life, ended with the scariest flight ever. Yesterday, your boy was supposed to land in Mtl at 3pm. But the plane was late. So then we were supposed to land at 4pm. But there was a crazy thunderstorm happening in Mtl at 4pm. The plane […]

Day 60 | Montreal, Are You Ready?

The struggle is over, the fun was necessary. 60 days of tears, joy and celebration. I had my last bacalhau at the airport and I took a piece with me just to be sure before I land to have a snack. I’ll close my eyes as I eat it and reminisce about my crazy experience […]

Day 59 | Almost Home and Nostalgic

Kudos to Andrea, a friend of a friend, that hooked up Dr Kizomba with a gold classic digital Casio watch #mykindagift. Of course I slept wearing the watch and it would beep every hour scaring the shit outta me. Last night, I feel asleep on the couch, cuddling my vodka watermelon, watching my new love, […]

Day 58 | Vodka Watermelon

Mi Gente. Your boy is bawling because I missed Yuri Da Cuhna’s show last night 😭but… instead I went to work and you already know… I had an amazing party. 😛 Woke up ate some bacalhau, finished with some sangria and some other stuff I can’t put on social media, feeling kinda zombie 😉listening to […]

Day 57 | Nostalgic Motivation

Rise and shine, Mi Gente! Your doctor woke up early 🌞. Last night I went to my last Muketo in Lisbon. They changed the location, it was super packed. Unreal. Saw some friends, the weather was fantastic. Definitely I’m gonna miss that night 🌜. Came back home and watched the TV show Suits 👔. That […]

Day 56 | Montreal Is Calling

Woke up today to the sound of pigeons. 🐦Thank you so much for messages from yesterday’s post. Real ppl really understood what I’ve been going through, and reacted in a positive way. Today is a new day, a new dawn, a new life 🎼. It’s the last Muketo afternoon party on a roof. I’m gonna […]
