Canoa Quebrada 2023 December

A trip to Canoa Quebrada 2023 December living a small-town routine, helping local social projects, and thinking about a career transition.

Canoa Quebrada 2023 December – Goals

My goals for this trip were:

meet close local friends;
help local social projects;
live Canoa Quebrada routine;
go to the beaches.

Canoa Quebrada routine

Canoa Quebrada should be the place that I came more frequently, as it is located just a few hours by bus from Fortaleza.

I don’t come here for the tourism, but to live a different routine, have new ideas in a different environment, and meet all of my friends here.

Canoa Quebrada 2023 December

Usually, it is a tradition for me to come here in June (for the São João party), and at Christmastime.

This year, I came to Canoa in 2023 January (instead of 2022 Christmas because I came with a friend of mine), and 2023 June.

I come now to spend Christmas night with friends, and also to help a few social projects I contribute.

Help local social projects

The reason I contribute to some few social projects here from time to time is that I have known this town for almost 30 years, and I feel that I have to return just a little, as everyone here gave me so much all the pastimes.

And, to be clear, it is not about money, but all the social interactions, a long friendship, learning with pals, people who need, etc.

It is not just at Christmastime, there are a few events during the year too, that I also donate.

Remote Work

I wrote the post Great Resignation Career Transition, in 2023 September, about a decision to postpone my career as a digital nomad, reasons explained there.

Instead, I decided to focus on getting a remote work based in Fortaleza, where I live nowadays, making just short trips.

While I still don’t know exactly what to do, I’m abandoning some options and focusing on others that seem more interesting to me.

A close friend told me:

You don’t have to rush as you’ve already had a passive income.

And he is right.
