my travel blog
In between paid works and life enjoyment, I've covered some events, festivals, and dives. Have a look at my last adventures through these blog posts.

The Cha-Am International Kite Festival has been happening at the end of windy season, around 26 km North of Hua-Hin, Thailand. In 2025, the 12th edition was held on the weekend from 21 to 23 March.

Despite the enormous popularity of USAT Liberty Wreck (read more about it in here and here) Tulamben isn’t, probably, the first pick for an underwater wide angle shooter. In […]

Tulamben has great potential for blackwater diving, though it hasn’t yet been conveniently explored. Ocean floor drops deep very quickly and there is the Lombok straight current bringing many critters into these waters, which surface at night.

Tulamben as a dive destination Tulamben is a small village, located in the Northeast coast of Bali (Indonesia), 95 km away from Ngurah Rai airport. Your […]

(I’ve seen them in Pemuteran, Amed and Anilao, and all were considerably smaller and shyer). The overall list is almost endless – surely you won’t find them all, but still more than you can possibly shoot.

The bulls came from “Canas Vigoroux” for António Telles, Diego Ventura and João Moura Jr., plus the groups of “Forcados Amadores do Montijo” and “Alcochete”, led by Ricardo Figueiredo and Nuno Santana respectively.

That trip gave me the opportunity to understand that, and to progress on learning how to shoot, rather than what to shoot. Making a critter collection can be a beginner’s hobby, but soon becomes sterile and boring. No one will want to look at your shots, and those critters were probably seen already a hundred times,

After seeing numerous caves in Vang Vieng, Laos and Tham Lod, in Thailand (these ones, absolutely stunning, for many different reasons), I didn’t really knew to […]

Apart from the Gili Islands, Rinjani mountain is probably the greatest attraction on Lombok Island. The climb, however, left me with mixed feelings, so I’ll explain why, in the following lines. There are two main itineraries to climb the mountain, and a few variants, depending on time and money spent. I believe, in normal circumstances, you’re able to do it on your own. You might not want to,
