Roger SheehyWriting has been a passion of mine since my youth. Like most, it started with journaling (and some really bad poetry), but later I moved into short stories and later travel. I love to write about the things that inspire me. I try to capture the essene of the ever-changing world around me and share it with others so that they too can share in the experience and find their own story. Most of my writing is in blog form, but I still write short stories. This is my first published novel.My wife and I recently moved to Portugal which has given me a new topic on which to write: the trials of immigrating to a new country. I share some of our crazy stories, as well as tips to making the move easier for others. I'm a contributor on several Facebook group pages devoted to expats, as well as the Prisco Business Group website. Prisco is the team here in Braga who assisted us in getting our Portuguese residency and in starting a business.Outside of writing, I have a wide area of interests. I consider myself a Renaissance man: a person with many talents or areas of knowledge. Obviously, I love travel, but I also love to cook. I briefly attended culinary school and I am a card-carrying 'foodie.' Having spent many years in Kansas City, I am also a huge fan of BBQ! So much so that I have become quite a pit-master in my own right, and my wife and I were even Certified Kansas City BBQ Society Judges. We participated in several high-stakes BBQ contests in Missouri and Arizona, which required trained judges from across the country. But what's BBQ without beer? I love a good craft beer and I'm even a homebrewer. I also love dogs and woodworking.Now that I'm in Portugal, my other necessary passion is learning Portuguese. I have had two teachers, Ricardo (Viva Portuguese) and Patricia (Fun Languages), along with a collection of mobile apps and flashcards to help me slog through this. In five years, I hope to pass the language test, but in the meantime, I use what I have learned to be able to communicate with the locals.Connect with Roger: https: //rogersheehy.com/https: //www.facebook.com/RogersRhapsody Read More Read Less
