The combination of travel and photography has become my favourite way of experiencing the world. You move through it, observe it, engage with it, and somehow even manage to preserve a part of it.

What living in paradise can’t give you

She couldn’t afford retirement in the US, so she relocated from California to Portugal

And someday it’s us who aren’t able to afford retirement in Portugal, but I guess we can also move to a poorer country also…
