It's important to remember . When an invisible, such microscopically small thing such as a virus is able to stop the world, to put everyone in quarantine, to threaten to ruin the economy, throwing millions into misery. It's time to remember how small we actually are. How insignificant our daily worries that take so much … Continue reading The unbearable weight of being human
Dogs are the happiest creatures right now
I took these pictures only last Sunday, in a park near Hampstead Heath. I had gone for the allowed walk for exercise and was keeping my distance. It now seems it was such a long time ago. After 14 days in isolation in my room in London - where I was stuck doing literally everything, … Continue reading Dogs are the happiest creatures right now
The Birth of Spring – Part 2
It is a cruel consolation to know and see Nature going on as it should go. A consolation because at least something looks normal. While we are in lockdown at home, with our lives on hold, not being able to plan not even short term, piles of anxiety, sadness, loneliness and depression are a contrast … Continue reading The Birth of Spring – Part 2
The Birth of Spring – Part I
I'm more of a Fall person, to be completely honest. But I do confess there is a certain pleasure in seeing the circle of life with my own eyes. One of the things I love about Britain is how pronounced each season is. With Spring, comes the promise of new life, a fresh start. The … Continue reading The Birth of Spring – Part I
My solo trip to Mexico – itinerary, transportation & accommodation
Last year I spent 14 days in Mexico. I wrote about my experiences in each city I visited but I never really explained the itinerary. I decided to take some time to leave some of the most practical details here. Also, hopefully it would be useful for solo female travellers, like myself, who would love … Continue reading My solo trip to Mexico – itinerary, transportation & accommodation

Wouldn't it be better off if we were one same country? My answer would be an automatic No. Without a given thought. And … Continue reading How is Portugal different from Spain – by a native Portuguese
Madrid (2013) – 3 essential life lessons I learned in Erasmus
I've realised a couple weeks (thank you Facebook) it was 7 years ago I finished my 6 months of studies in Madrid, part of the Erasmus program I had enrolled to. Madrid was the only place in Europe that wasn't buried in 10 meters of snow during the winter I could actually afford to live … Continue reading Madrid (2013) – 3 essential life lessons I learned in Erasmus
Lisbon, 2014
Lisbon, or Lisboa in my language, is one European city that has been getting a lot of buzz in recent years. The capital of my country was always perceived as the big city in my mind. The place where I was going in school trips to visit museums, palaces, convents and so on. Basically, the … Continue reading Lisbon, 2014
Status: Travel planning on hold
Without much travelling happening later, it's been hard to keep a frequent posting agenda here. I had made myself the promise that having less travelling at the start of the year wouldn't stop me from posting. Afterall I live in London and there is so many subjects to photograph in this city. And then, my … Continue reading Status: Travel planning on hold
I protest (ed)
On International Women's Day... As a 27 year old woman, there is a lot I've learned and a lot I'm yet to learn. I've learned that I was lied to in school, when the feminist movement was part of the past printed on those thick History textbooks. I was misled into thinking women were already … Continue reading I protest (ed)
