Portugal, here we comeā! As we are a fully distributed team, we had people flying over from various corners of the globe to join us for our yearly Speckle retreat. We strongly believe that itās essential for team bonding and engagement and therefore we get together in person, brainstorm and develop personal relationships.
Despite theĀ weather forecast not being too optimistic, we all arrived in Lisbon safely and full of excitement. After all, we were heading towards Ericeira, a beautiful Portuguese fishing town, also known as a surfing mecca. We chose it because weāre **web surfing pros**. Little did we knowā¦
From there, we got to spend five delightful days together, doing workshops and co-working. But, it wasnāt all work! We did a scavenger hunt and learnt to actually surf (on the *ocean*, not the web) and bake pastel de natašØāš³.
When asking Specklers what their personal highlight was, the hackathon was the clear winner! For those not familiarĀ with hackathons, it's an event where engineers get together for a short periodĀ of time to collaborate on a project. We worked, weĀ sweated, and weĀ shared manyĀ laughs together during this session!
Certainly, time flies when having fun, and we spent the final evening together around a big wooden table for a candlelit dinner, accompanied by a local guitar concert.
Many thanks toĀ @wide-ocean-retreatĀ for organising Speckleās third retreat.
