A pensar em algo profundo no Exodus Aveiro Fest. Ou em cerveja. Um dos dois! 📸 Marília Maia e Moura #exodusaveirofest2023
I’m becoming a grumpy old person, and still kind of getting back to the everyday routine after returning from Nepal, so take this with a huge pinch of salt. But I’m getting so tired of most of the travel content being created nowadays, we somehow lost the joy of curiosity and discovery.
When did the travel stuff switched from the displaying the best of a place to “hey, look what I am doing now!”?
Why do most of the travel content creators now put themselves between the reader and the place they’re at?
Why do so many of them kind of play around with the readers lack of knowledge of that place to not be entirely honest about it, so it conveys the narrative they’re building?
I think I know the answers to all these questions, I guess this evolution to a more lifestyle driven way to do things never really caught on me. But again, I’m just a grumpy old guy…
Almost forgot to post this from my Annapurna trek: my arrival to Machhapuchhre Base Camp, with the weather really getting worse as we went up!
One more nepali taxi!
Finally time to give Bhaktapur its well deserved slow place, because good things don’t like rushing out. #bhaktapur #kathmanduvalley #nepal
Panauti, a quiet, slow paced, no frenzy Nepali historic town for a change. #panauti #kathmanduvalley #nepal
Hike in the Kathmandu Valley countryside, to reach Namo Buddha, one of Nepal’s holy Buddhist places. Made me realize I still have things to do at Bodhanauth, let’s see if I can squeeze that when I returned to Kathmandu. #namobuddha #kathmanduvalley #nepal
Day 4 - Dovan to Machhapuchhre Base CampGoing up, up in the mountains, but often what’s over there isn’t a bright sunny day.#annapurna #annapurnatrek #nepal
Any city looks better by dawn, but Patan is really a place best seen under the first rays of light. Not only because the lack of tourists that haven’t arrived yet from the day tours from Kathmandu, but mostly from its slow awakening, with the daily routines coming to life, specially the visit to the temples at the beginning of the day. #patan #kathmandu #nepal
Just went for a quick night stroll around my hotel, for real!#patan #kathmandu #nepal
