I'm Susana, from Lisbon with roots in Setúbal — hence my addiction to the beach and sun! My life is a multitasking adventure: married and mother of three beautiful princesses. I dream of travelling by plane, but for now I travel via Google Earth because my bank account and I have a complicated relationship... I'm almost reaching the fantastic age of 50 — like a good wine or a latest-generation smartphone: with more and more features and increasing in value!
