Portugal

<h1>Portugal</h1>
A country saturated with an endless coastline of white sandy beaches and rugged coastlines. A city with an extreme attention to architectural detail with a complimenting booming restaurant scene. Portugal is an all in one country for coastline advocates and wine enthusiasts (like myself).

<li>This is the first part of my Portugal Travel guide. In this part you will find all the places I visited and photographer on the coast between Lisbon and Ericeira. I will also include links to the places I stayed at and my favorite restaurants 🥙☕️ </li>
<li>Shoutout to <a href="https://magmanow.com/@parkerschmidt">Parker </a> for helping me put together this guide &amp; proving some of his lovely images 🍯</li>

<h2>Praia da Ursa</h2>
About an 50 minutes from Ericeira, or 35 minute drive from Lisbon is a beach which makes you feel as though you’re on another planet. Praia da Ursa. 
Even though I had visited this beach only a year ago, it still holds up, creating a beautiful palette of sunset to blue hour tones. This is the spot I had grabbed one of my favorite photos and had felt like a child again running around it’s spire filled shores.
I would recommend to visit the beach for sunset although it can get pretty crowded, there are plenty of angles and hidden coves to explore.

<h2>Praia de São Julião</h2>
I had been caught in awe with the jagged cliff sides, moody fog and determined fisherman sprinkled across it’s shoreline.
I visited this beach for a early sunrise mission and for a late afternoon walk in the golden light. Both options were stunning, although sunset is the better option for golden light. Depending on the tide you can walk for miles down the coast, just make sure to not get stuck between the cliffs when the tides come in.

Sintra-Cascais National Park
This location is perfect if you want to leave the beach towls at home and chase some moodier vibes. In Sintra everyone will tell you to visit the Sintra castle, which is beautiful but for an outdoor lover like myself the moody forest was very high on my hit list.
The road you should take is called “Estudante da Peninha”

Ericeira
On my visit, I stayed at Ericeria’s good vibe headquarters, <a href="https://bit.ly/3eJTk5g">LaPoint Surf Camp</a> . A beautiful infrastructure that functions as a surf hostel. We took on a day after day surf bootcamp with some phenomenal instructors.
After each session, the whole crew would rally back from the beach to the camp. Running to the open spaced common area to enjoy endless bowls of acai and midday yoga.

Hungry?
Ericeira, and its laid-back charm, offers a lot in terme of food and culture. These are my favorite restaurants/cafes:
<a href="https://www.souldoughpizza.com/about-us/">Soul Dough</a> 
Probably the best Pizza I had, the restaurant is owened by italians who moved to Portugal.
<a href="https://instagram.com/sunsetbamboobar?igshid=cw2w7pyo4fm1">Sunset Bamboo</a> 
Great Burritos, Juices and Coffee 😋 It is located in the heart of the Ericeira’s center. 
<a href="https://www.zomato.com/Red-Chilli">Red Chilli</a> 
The Interior might not be the fanciest but they sure know how to cook mouth-watering indian food. 🍲

Let’s get cozy!
These are the places I stayed in during my stay.
<a href="https://bit.ly/3eJTk5g">Lapoint Surf Camp</a> 
A old vinery converted into a hostel. Surf, skatepark, pool, view of the ocean, great food and cozy rooms. 
<a href="http://www.booking.com/Share-DColca">Apartment in Ericeira</a> 
This apartment was located right next to the Sao Sebastiao beach. It is a small and cozy, one bedroom apartment with everything you need.
<a href="https://abnb.me/1DnN3G1aYbb">Sintra Airbnb</a> 
This was one of the more quiet locations I stayed at and I loved every second of it. The studio apartment was small but it had a beautiful garden, a pool and the owner had two dogs ☺️🐶

A few memories from the winter wonderland ✨ — @undefined's mag on Magma

<h1>Namibia</h1>
A place of contrast and extremes.
The first things that pops into my head when I think about Namibia are the rust-red dunes and the deep blue sky. The country is wild, the people are friendly, and the roads seem endless. I have seen many photos from Namibia before, but it was nothing like I imagined it to be. The scale of these places are immense.

Traveling in Africa often means facing terrible roads and difficult conditions. We rented a 4x4, equipped with rooftop tents, still had overcome two flat tires and got stuck in the sand. Travel days were long and bumpy, we rarely drove for more than four hours each day, but the incredible views along the way made up for it!

Sunrise heli flight

This morning was one for the books. An experinece I will never forget. We hopped on a helicopter and flew over the oldest and largest dunes in the world. It was impeccable, it is hard to put it in words. I am glad I got to capture this this unforgettable experience with my camera.

Nature

Finland

<h1>The Finish Lapland</h1>
Lapland is Finland’s northernmost region, a sparsely populated area bordering Sweden, Norway, Russia and the Baltic Sea. It’s known for its vast subarctic wilderness, ski resorts and natural phenomena including the midnight sun and the Northern Lights. Capital Rovaniemi is the gateway to the region. The homeland of the indigenous Sami people, which extends into neighboring countries, centers on the far north.

Back in Feburary I was invited to explore and capture one of the coldest area in Europe. — @undefined's mag on Magma

Iceland

In Iceland, you can see the contours of the mountains wherever you go, 
and the swell of the hills, and always beyond that the horizon. 
And there’s this strange thing: you’re never sort of hidden; you always feel exposed in that landscape. But it makes it very beautiful as well. — @undefined's mag on Magma

Hiking

Chamonix

Chamonix, a quaint little town tucked in the french alps just across the Italian border. It is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts, the people who meet here all share the love for mountaineering and hiking. The peak of the rugged mountain chain has attracted many photographers like myself. Hope you enjoy this collection. — @undefined's mag on Magma
