Macau’s historical center is a UNESCO world heritage site. It’s basically very Portuguese. The ruins in the picture are of a church that was dedicated to Mary, only the southern facade stands and gives it quite a fantasy-like look. Interestingly, the facade was decorated by Japanese Christians in exile during … more »
In Focus
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words.
In this section we share with you visuals from our travels around the world.
So come back for more honest photos and see how beautiful the world truly is!
All the way up!
We were in Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica during February last year. It was hot, humid and wild! Corcovado claims to be one of the most biodiverse places on earth. That claim isn’t surprising considering how you are surrounded by life everywhere! During our jungle trek we ended up … more »
Sunset from Koh Lanta
We spent a few days in Koh Lanta Yai, an island off the coast of Krabi in Thailand. It was early October and it was still raining every day as the monsoon runs until November. However, there was a day that it didn’t rain, and boy did we get lucky! … more »
Happy dog in Goa
As the weekend is around the corner, I thought I’d ask this happy dog in Goa, India, to help me out with Photo of the Day. Do you see how careless and joyful he looks? Maybe we should all try and take the weekend to relax, do something we like … more »
Casino Lisboa
Las Vegas gets all the buzz when it comes to casinos, but hey, Macao deserves some attention too! We first arrived in Macao at night. Getting to town by ferry (coming from Hong Kong) you enjoy a great view of the skyline and buildings covered in luminous signs, reflecting their … more »
Mommy, is that you?
Before I moved to Dubai, I had never seen a covered woman. Maybe a head scarf here and there (and to be honest, living in Portugal most of my life, barely even that) – but it was in the UAE that I saw a fully covered lady for the first … more »
What should I have today?
We saw this little kid in a village near Siem Reap. He was walking and I tried to click his photo but, to the contrary of most local kids, he wasn’t interested in smiling and posing for the camera. I thought he was just shy, but then I realized he … more »
Trash cans in rural Cambodia are cool!
One might not think at a first glance that a trash can has what it takes to make it as “Photo of the Day” – but, just this once, allow me to disagree. We’re in Cambodia right now and I’ve been noticing that the trash containers that we see in … more »
The joy of traveling in Cambodia
When you travel to new places with no specific expectations, you’re likely to be pleasantly surprised. That’s what’s happening to me right now in Cambodia. We decided to travel around Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam and, by default, I know more about the history, culture and people of both the … more »
That hit the spot!
Just as we were entering the Bayon Temple in the Angkor Archaeological Park we found this little troublemaker digging in the trash can outside. He inspected a bunch of items which included waste paper, poly bags, coke cans, water bottles, etc. before he found a plastic glass with some liquid … more »
