I feel INSPIRED, REFRESHED, RECHARGED, HAPPY, etc. These travel highs last me for a good while and the greatest of all is the infinite amount of photos that I have to go through, which extend the high for an even longer period of time. I’m reliving the trip every time I look at the photos. Travel NOW. Even if it’s just for a week or two at a time. See more of the world so that you nourish an open mind. Get out of your little box for a bit and then go back to it – your routine suddenly feels fresh and new and you’re excited all over again. Life is so much better this way.
My trip was rejuvenating. I lived most of it through the lens but that’s how I go through life nowadays. If it’s not captured, it didn’t happen. Lisbon, Portugal was my favourite, closely followed by San Sebastian in the Basque Region in Spain, and then Barcelona. When all is said and done, I thought Portugal surpassed Spain with it’s dashing underrated beauty. But then again, we all appreciate different types of beauty and that’s the beauty of it all.
This is me in the Pena National Palace in Sintra, Portugal. We only spent four hours in this city and I was stressed and overwhelmed for the most part, trying to capture it before we had to leave for the next city. The other two photos are for sale as prints at my Etsy Shop.
