Locked Out in Faro: My 40-Minute Lesson

On my recent holiday in Faro, I made the classic travel mistake (traveling solo means no one was there to remind me 😅). A few hours before my flight, I left my passport and some cash in the drawer, breezily checked out, and then — click — found myself locked outside the building.

No way back in. No spare key. Just me, my black backpack, and a long wait under the hot Portuguese sun. And trust me, Faro sun is no joke.

I always thought, “That’ll never happen to me.” But there I was — it really did.

Forty minutes later, my kind host came to the rescue. But let me tell you, during those forty minutes I couldn’t stop thinking: if only this building had one of our smart locks, I could’ve been back inside in seconds. Instead of sweating outside, I could’ve spent those forty minutes strolling around town like a carefree tourist.

No waiting. No panic. No helpless sweating outside the door.

That day sealed the deal for me: the right lock doesn’t just protect your home — it saves your holiday, your time, and sometimes even your passport.

So don’t say “it could never happen.” It happened to me — and it can happen to anyone. That’s why I’m determined to help more people avoid the waiting, the panic, and the locked-out drama… all with the right smart lock.
