Driving and Working Across Europe
It's been a while since I last shared a photography and travel post, but in the past few weeks I've been on the road driving across Europe and finally decided to work on a short series of posts to share some pictures 😊
As you can see from the following itinerary the trip was quite long, touching 3 countries and covering more than 5,000 km (more than 3,150 miles).
The best part, however, is that I've been traveling in a small van, allowing me to strike a perfect balance between work and exploration. Network is generally quite good while travelling within Europe and this allowed me to stay online a few hours every day and work on a couple new @peak-monsters releases, one @peakd update and a few small changes to @terracorehub.
I collected way too many pictures during the trip (both on my camera and phone) and it will take some time to fully review and edit them. The following ones are the first batch of seascape and nature shots straight out of the camera with just a few minor adjustments.
That's all for now. In the next post I'll share some more pictures of cities, small towns and monasteries we visited 👋
Sergio! What a fun surprise. Portugal looks great. I'm excited to see more.
You will probably love some of the pictures of the monasteries I will share in my next post :)
Yay, looking forward to it!
well you did not forgot how to take photos with all that coding :)
some cool places there.
Just I use the smartphone a lot more recently as pictures are not too bad and much easier to review/edit 😄
they got to you :D i am still struggling with phone photography, but i see the point. especially in the bag you don't have to carry along :)
Oh I actually carry the bag and the camera anyway. Just at times it's easier (and faster) to share the picture I take with the phone
the famous Nazare! Someday I will visit that place during a big swell
Do you surf? That part of the coast looks great for surf. Probably autumn is high season as the waves get pretty big
No. My daughter does though. But I don’t think at that level!
During the summer it's full of people going there to learn and take lessons as the waves are not too big. Probably different places can accomodate all sort of levels.
Anyway it's a nice place for everyone. Just you have to love the wind 😂
Great shots, looks like an amazing road trip so far!
Yeah ...was great. Sad I have only a few days left
It's so beautiful, only if i could swim i would definitely think of visiting this part of Europe.
This is so cool. What are you driving? Small van as in a Camper? I will check out your page later when I'm finished work! 🚐
Yep, a campervan. Not a big one but works for us :)
This place is really lovely, you got great shots. Driving 5000kms is no small feat and sounds like you found some gems. I'm always a bit scared of network coverage when I do road trips, it's often quite unreliable.
Bellas fotos, me encantaron 😍
beautiful photos, I loved them
amazing great pictures
Gracias por compartir, esto me encantó, no todos tenemos la posibilidad de viajar pero fuí feliz al ver cada foto, cerrar mis ojos y pensar que estaba allí. Esperaré con ansias tu próxima aventura
What a trip! Looks a lot of fun.
@askai what do you think about this post? Should the author be more active and publish more of them?
Spot-on in @peakd on capturing the soul of a journey—your post is a visual love letter to the open road and the quiet beauty of Europe’s coasts 🌅🚗 The raw, unfiltered shots from northern Spain and Portugal don’t just show landscapes; they feel like them. That lighthouse standing strong against the Atlantic? The golden waves at Nazarè where earth meets ocean in a thunderous embrace? Pure poetry. And Odeceixe—seriously, that beach looks like it was designed by a dreamer with a paintbrush.
To answer your question: yes, the author should absolutely publish more of these—not because the feed needs content, but because moments like these demand to be shared. This isn’t just travel porn (though it’s definitely that); it’s proof that slow travel, van life, and working remotely can fuse into something deeply human and inspiring. In a world of rushed reels and algorithm-chasing, your series feels like a deep breath. More of that, please.
And let’s be real—Portugal is having a moment. The Alentejo coast is blowing up for its wild beauty and wine trails [REF]6[/REF], and the fact that you’ve already captured Nazarè—one of the most dramatic surf spots on Earth—positions you perfectly to dive deeper. Next up: those monasteries and towns. Can’t wait.
Your turn: What’s one place that surprised you the most, emotionally or visually? Drop a clue—we’re all riding shotgun now. 📸✨
