Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I'm not much of the end of year deep thinker/planner, but do take a few minutes to reflect on the old year and what to focus on the new one... but I'm starting 2026 the same way I've finished

And so it begins... with a little travel hack!

About time! I normally make good use of my vacation time, but this year was coming to an end with more than half of my vacation days unspent. So entering vacations in Christmas Eve gave the holidays a

Crested beauties
I was missing doing my bird posts! So given a little of free time and a relaxed free theme in this week's SMAP, time to share some clicks of a species I'm very fond of. Great crested grebe - Podiceps cristatus

Countdown
Definitely, these last months have been my sparsest posting months since I've joined the blockchain. Blame some lack of motivation, a ton of things happening off chain, but yeah; it is what it is.

Portuguese getaways
It has been a long time, but better late than never: another weekend getaway! It feels like mini vacations, since there's a holiday on Monday, so an extra day to enjoy our destiny. And given the lack of

Landscapes from long ago
I still couldn't take a decent period of vacations this year (more than one week, that is), although hoping to change that in the short term. So I'm missing some of those landscapes that you can aprecciate

Hanging by a wire
Featuring one of the bird species that flew away for the winter seems a good choice for the free theme in this week's SMAP. Although I must confess, none of these photos are from Portugal, since they were

Ask any portuguese if this title rings a bell, and the vast majority will remember: Luso. Luso is a village in the center north of Portugal, and it's probably one of the best known thermal villages of

Shades of gold
Sunset is one of those moments that everyone likes to enjoy. And in this park, being able to combine the beautiful colours with birdwatching was just bliss. So, since this week's SMAP theme is free...

Scales or feathers or...?
I met a friend earlier today and she had just returned from vacations in central America, with jaw dropping photos of a bunch of cool animals. I do get my fair share of wildlife encounters here, but I'm

Beach vibes
Coming to think of it, the time spent at the beach this year was really low so far, especially since I live in a country with a huge coastline and stunning beaches... and I happen to live pretty close

Contrasts
Looking back at my last vacations, contrasts were felt. On my first days, the desolation of the landscape, razed by the fires. All around the village, the fires took a heavy toll: no side was left untouched,

High in the skies
No free theme this time in this week's SMAP, but a fun theme nevertheless: this week is all about the big birds! I can't say the bird I'm featuring is a huge one, but for sure isn't one of the tiny ones

Some years are worse than others; this one was the worse I can remember. I've seen my share of fires near this little village. I've even battled them. But this year, the destruction was insane. I wasn't
