Back from Rome
Back from Rome with my mom and mother-in-law! Their first time in Italy, rightfully enjoyed with a little sightseeing, a good amount of pasta, some aperol, a ton of pizza, and a lot of wine. Didn't write any weeknotes this week, will get back on track next Monday :)
Cuenca
A few days ago we drove to Madrid to pick my mom at the airport. She came from Brazil to stay with us for three months and the tickets from our hometown to Madrid were half the price of the tickets to...
Albarracín
This week we went on a quick day trip to one of Spain's most beautiful pueblos, Albarracín 🏰📷
Back from Andalusia
A month ago I went to Andalusia. It was amazing, I visited castles, went to two fancy restaurants, took a million photos telling myself I would make an online gallery, maybe even print and frame a few... and I still haven't downloaded, edited or even looked at the images. It's a struggle! 📷🗺
Chelva
Today we visited Chelva, a really beautiful pueblo that is known as Valencia's Chefchaouen (a city in Morocco). In love with all the white and blue! From there, a quick hike in the Ruta del Agua trail...
Seascapes of Portugal
Portugal, 2015. Shot on an expired roll film. Even expired this Fuji film is a delight! 🗺️ South coast of Portugal, 2015. 📷 Canon EOS 300 + Fuji Pro 400h.
Editing some old photos from Sigtuna, Sweden
So many friends have asked me on social media about how my trip is going and, c'mon you guys, I haven't left my home in 1.5 years!! I'm using these Covid times to go through, edit and share some old p...
Sigtuna, white and blue
Sigtuna is magical. White and blue. Fishing boats. Ice cream. 🗺️ Sigtuna, 2016. 📷 Canon EOS 3 + Fujicolor Superia 400.
Mallorca
A small bed & breakfast inland and a rented car to explore the island. One full week of Mallorca! 🗺️ This beach is called Cala Agulla and it really was as blue as it looks in the image. The view from...
A river in Norway
We went wild camping in Norway in 2016. Wild summer, we got snow and 5ºC temperatures. This is one trip I'd love to do again!
Tarragona
Those past two days have felt so cold here in Barcelona. Wishing I could go back one month to an incredibly warm day visiting Tarragona.
Castell de Xàtiva
Castell de Xàtiva. Memories of a warm day when both my mom and my dog refused to climb all the way to the top of the mountain to get the best view of the castle.
Throwback to Valencia
Throwback to enjoying summer with my mom and our little trip to Valencia! This is the Umbracle, a suspended park with palm trees and local flora, in the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències.
Montblanc
Loved visiting the medieval pueblo of Montblanc yesterday. So incredibly charming. Locals believe the famous fight between Saint George and the Dragon actually took place in the mountains surrounding the pueblo -- and absolutely NOT in Cappadocia, as we have all been wrongly led to believe. Beautiful red roses grew where the dragon blood was spilled, and this is why Catalans gift roses to each other on the day of Sant Jordi. So now you know it too.
