A Saturday full of art, culture and friends. Even Sophie joined. Started with the opening of @soraianoliveira gallery in Algoz. Soraia is a talented artist working on the edge. @mathias.explores was there capturing moments and friends. Ended the evening with an amazing intimate dinner with more creative friends. Little Sophie had her fill of art and culture too!

This is a love letter to Portugal’s westcoast 🌊

Where the wild raw coastline teaches you how to receive and the dramatic cliffside shores never resist the incoming tide.

Each evening your sun sinks into the sea and whispers, exhale. You’ve arrived. You have no where else to be.

Where springtime feels like a fairytale and the sound of the waves rolling on shore lulls you to sleep.

Whenever someone asked me “what are the top 5 biggest pleasures in your life?”…

I’ve always answered “just driving my car and listening to music” Loudly”.

Welcome to a page that will be seeing my love for cars for a while; don’t judge me, I’m still new at it!

But I have realized for the past few months / year that a passion has emerged. And so here we are;

Doing a collab post w/ main account @joanaparaizzzo - for those who might be interested.

Thank you so much @mathias.explores for these pictures and to Clube dos Veículos Clássicos do Barlavento - for having the opportunity to shoot with this wonderful 1970’s Carocha to launch my project 🫶🏻

See you around in the road 🛣️❤️

Few people know Portugal better than mathiasexplores. Discover the area through the eyes of the person who's explored it more than most.

You always give so much to everyone else. The job, the house, the relationship, the kids, the pets, the grandparents…

But the real question is: do you allow yourself to receive?

When do you let yourself receive?

What are you comfortable receiving?

And from whom?

We’re all experts at giving, but when do you actually give yourself the permission to receive?

Think it’s about time to pull yourself up from the bottom of your list?

We certainly do…..

Today we decided to launch 🚀 my first ever reel in this account where I’ll be telling you about the cars I’m shooting along the way in this Euro trip I’ve been organizing 🤭

Before I tell you about the whole project, we’ve decided to test it out first!

I’d love to interact with more people, especially women!, who are into cars, classic cars and motorsports in general ❤️

Let me know if this is you & let’s connect 🤌🏻

About the car: this is a 1970’s beetle who was is owned by one of the Classics Motor Club in my hometown, in the Algarve!

His collection had many impressive cars but we decided to teste the famous #carocha first! 😌

where darkness holds its own kind of beauty ⚫️

It’s been a year since we took these photos with @mathias.explores . They were the last photos we decided to take without planning anything, just following the moment, playing with light and shadows, and seeing where it would take us. Somehow, it turned out to be much more exciting than we expected.
