In Action
Behind the scenes and the occasional selfie.
Packing again, this time back the North of Portugal, after the winter solstice traditions, but first I’ll do a break to indulge myself with the seasonal treats around a big table full of people. Enjoy this season’s good things and stay tuned for more photos.
Just like last year, yesterday I arrived home with the same kind of feeling: my soul filled with joy and inspiration, from the people on stage and those who were sitting next to you. I only feel sorry not being able to interact with more people, from speakers to friends and complete strangers, but two days go by in a blink of an eye.Huge respect and admiration for Bernardo, Pedro, Gonçalo, Isabel and the rest of the team for pulling this off, and can’t thank them enough for letting me be part of it this year. Also a big thank to all those who attended my talk and sang Happy Birthday to me (first time from so many people 😀) or say hi throughout the weekend.In my mind there’s still the closing thought from the talk of Timothy Allen (one of the reasons I returned this year): find meaning. Let’s do that in our travels.See you all there next year! #ngexodusaveirofest #ngeaf #aveiro #portugal #festival #adventure #travel #photography #discover #explore
Big weekend ahead! I will be talking at this stage today, and be attending the this amazing conference for the whole weekend. Looking forward for everything: to share my travels, getting inspiration from talented photographers and meeting new cool people!! #ngexodusaveirofest
The swirly incense sticks are a cliché, but one too good to ignore. Today is had the pleasure to have my bro, and currently a Macau local, Fernando to do some behind the scenes for me!
Camino de Santiago
Two years ago I started planning to do the Portuguese Way pf the Camino de Santiago, but “chickened out” thinking I wasn’t ready for it. I ended up spending those days at Trás-Os-Montes (probably my favorite region in Portugal), assuming I’d left the Camino behind for a while. I quickly found out that wasn’t the case, as I discovered I was right in a route that goes through the Montesinho Natural Park (later found out it’s an alternative to the Silver Route that joins the Sanabrese Way). I don’t believe in signs, but this has been a small motivation ever since.This year was the time to finally do it, and Ana Morais and João Eugénio joined me in it. Slowly and steady we managed to walk the 160km from Ponte de Lima to Santiago de Compostela, sit down in the middle of Praza do Obradoiro and stare at the cathedral’s “gigantuous” facade while thinking about what we had done! And I couldn’t stop thinking I’d wanted to keep walking all the way to the coast, to Muxia. Throughout last week I picked some shots for each day, but also shared lots of fragments on Instagram Stories. If you missed some, or want to see all of them again, I grouped all my Camino stories here: www.instagram.com/stories/h… #camino #caminodesantiago
This week, while walking the Camino de Santiago, it’s all about the weight: I’ll be carrying all my stuff, between clothes, gear and some snacks. So when I was packing able to keep the total weight of my bag below 7 kg, and for that I needed to keep my gear minimal. This is all all be carrying (besides batteries and cards):- Fuji X-E3, my lightest body- XF 18mm and XF 27mm, my lightest lenses

It was time to sit down for some rest, and have a well deserved beer last June in the “Magic Mountains”, when @esiracusaphotos played a bit with one of my camera
Back on the road for some days with my mate @esiracusaimages, we’re after some of the hidden corners of the so called “Magic Mountains” of Portugal. #portugal #arouca #serradafreita
This is what you get when you put too many Fuji geeks in the same place!! It was a tiring but cool day with the FujiXFocus group along with @Fujifilm_PT at the Douro Valley, trying new gear and tasting port wine!
