Sometimes, what seems far is actually close. And what seems close is actually far. It’s all a matter of perspective.

When we left to go to Pico do Areeiro, we didn’t expect to see this incredible scenery. On our journey up, we went through the clouds, and came right on top, leaving this blankets of air floating under us.

In the heart of Madeira, you can find a subtropical forest, called Laurisilva Forest. There’s a lot of hiking trails you can take which will bring you to breathtaking scenes. These ere on what is maybe the easiest trail on the island.

In the trails of the levadas of Madeira island, you sometimes come across amazingly magical mist.

Streets in Japan are so different from what we’re used to in Western Europe. There’s so many different elements that make it different, from the overhead cables, to the asphalt-made sidewalks. There, it is a mundane thing. I find it rather charming.

All temples in Japan were unique on their own. This one was covered by a moss blanket, making it one of my favorite ones to see. The gardening work was also mesmerizing.

In Japan, I had the chance to see real life, very long, bamboo 🎋. I’ve seen bamboo before, even in my hometown in Portugal, but never to the extent of what I saw in Japan. It’s incredible and mesmerizing.

On the flight back from Japan, we had to circumvent Russia’s airspace. To do so, we went up to the North Pole, and then through Greenland. I never expected that seeing Greenland from above would give such amazing views. It is absolutely mesmarizing!

The 572 meter long Sint-Annatunnel in Antwerp opened in 1933 and it is 31 meters deep. The wooden escalators are a marvel to see.
