Sunday Zine Review turns one year old


The Sunday Zine Review turns one year old! This project started just to have an excuse to update my blog every week. One year later, I've featured over 50 different zines and independent magazines from all around the world.

To celebrate the first anniversary, I'm giving away a copy of my zine "I Used To Live Here". All you need to do is leave a comment below telling me all the places you've lived in during your life and don't forget to leave your email address as well.

I'll choose a winner in a couple of weeks from all the comments received.

Good luck!

The first place I've lived was in Fogueteiro, Portugal and I've stayed there for 10 years. After that, my parents got a new house and we moved to Seixal, Portugal. When I turned 18 I moved away from my parents and went to live and study in Castelo Branco, Portugal for 4 years. Currently I'm living in London where I moved in January to start my internship as a graphic designer and ended staying. x

I was born at the foot of Mt. Ruapehu, New Zealand. I lived in a dairy for 5 years. Then I lived in a house bus in the same village. After that I moved into a House Bus in Whakapapa village (by the mountain) and I lived there for 2 years. Then I moved into a small rail town called Raurimu where I lived in a house that used to be a bank (our food was kept in the safe). Then I went to live with my grandparents who owned a motel in Rotorua, I used to make beds for small change. Then for a while I was passed around my family members, I lived with my uncle who was a doctor in the red light district of New Zealand's largest city. Then I moved into a small fishing cabin by lake Taupo, with only two other families permanently living on my street. I would play guitar on other people's porches. Now, I'm going to move back to Rotorua to live with my Grandad, but this time I'll be living in a town house. Maybe I'll still get small change for making the beds...

Congrats!!┌( ◔,◔)┘
I grew up in the Mississippi River valley metropolis of the Quad Cities in Illinois/Iowa, US. At 18 I moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, US, to go to the art school there. Now I live in sub-tropical Naples, Florida, US, just outside the Everglades. ☮

I've stayed mostly in one place - Illinois! But my most recent move was from the suburbs (Naperville) into big city Chicago :)

I was born in San Francisco, CA and lived there for 5 years. We went from a nice house in Daly City, to in apartment in the city and then moved to a house in Geneva Avenue. When I was six, I moved to Puerto Rico and I've been living here ever since. I've lived in 5 different houses all within the cities of Guaynabo and San Juan, Puerto Rico :)
