Along with the regions of Serra da Estrela and Lisboa, whenever I’m in Portugal I tend to spend time in Entroncamento where a dear aunt resides. Last Autumn, we made the most of the hot, very late summer days and cooled off at Aldeia do Mato and explored Dornes in the Ferreira do Zêzere. Located in…
Traveling to … Aldeia do Mato
One of my favorite things about Portugal are certainly its beautiful nature and landscapes. Yes, its coast and beaches are some of the best, but so too are its infamous praia fluvials {river beaches}. If one doesn’t live near the coast, or doesn’t want to venture a full day at the beach, its many river…
Portugal Travels on Film
Looking through photographs of past travels, beautiful landscapes and intricate old architecture for inspiration of Spring creations…I realized I had never shared photographs I’ve taken in the last few years on my film camera. I first photographed and developed my first film in high school, but I have loved it long before. Always intrigued by…
Traveling to … Passadiços do Mondego
Our planet, our natural environments are really such a wondrous sight. I think it’s important to recognize how much it’s in danger while also being a beautiful place to visit. A great thing Portugal has been doing to take advantage of their vast scenic mountains and natural settings — is to create accessible wooden walking…

Spending summers with family and growing up in the beautiful natural countryside and farmlands of the Serra da Estrela — it all very much impacted and shaped who I am now.

Traveling to … Lisboa Moments + a Setúbal Lunch
Whenever I go to Portugal, I’m fortunate to spend time in Lisboa’s Caparica coast. Having family there, it’s always a treat being a close drive to the city and also near its beautiful beaches. Sometimes my stays are jammed packed with adventures, others too short but oh-so sweet. This year was somewhere in the middle,…

Today, we’re taking a nice calm walk around its Jardins Superiores, also known as its Upper Gardens. After making your way within the stunning interiors of…
Traveling to …. Palacio Nacional de Queluz
Let me take you to what has become one of my favorite places. A place so special, so inspiring and left me creatively refreshed and renewed. There aren’t enough words to describe, nor photos that can do the beauty of the Palacio Nacional de Queluz, justice. It’s often been referred to as the Versailles of…
Traveling to … Peniche & the Archipelago of Berlengas
Peniche, the seaside town known for its fishing, delicious marine dishes, and of course the unbeatable surfing… A famed coastal town that has retained much of its charm and quietness, despite the ever growing tourism. Peniche is also the only place one can be to visit the Berlengas; a Portuguese archipelago consisting of small islands….
