Winter | Barra Beach, Aveiro, Portugal

Hey there! So as I've been very stressed lately with school, saving enough money for my next trip, etc. I decided to go for a walk on the beach, even though it was freezing cold! I feel so lucky for living in such an amazing place.

Expofacic 2014: Kaiser Chiefs | Cantanhede, Coimbra, Portugal

Hello again! This is the last post of the "Expofacic" series (this expression sounded kinda odd to me, anyone else?) and is about Kaiser Chiefs concert, which I didn't expect, but was simply mind blowing! One of my favorite concerts of all time and I don't even like their songs much (I went to see Borgeous and Moullinex, but it started raining so much we had to leave :'( ). If you watch the video you'll for sure find their energy contagious like I did... to the point that without knowing the songs nor the lyrics I found myself singing along "THIS IS MY LIFE! I CAN WORK IT OUT I LIVE WITHOUT NAHAHANAHAHNHABLABLABLA... THIS IS MY LIFE!!"
I'll see you guys soon!

Expofacic 2014: Buraka Som Sistema | Cantanhede, Coimbra, Portugal

Hey! So today I'm showing you some pictures and a small video I recorded during Buraka Som Sistema concert in Expofacic this Summer. It was the third time I went a BSS concert and it was a great show, as always, I had a great time with my friends and am sure I burnt all my dinner's calories! The only criticizm I can possibly make is that every concert is the same, exactly the same! And the three times I went to their concert were in 2012, 2013 and 2014, it's not like I've seen them three times in the same month... But, oh well, I still had a good time, so it was worth it. That's all for now... k bye!

Fiacoba 2014: Horse Show | Oliveira do Bairro, Aveiro, Portugal

Hi there! A couple of weeks ago I went to Fiacoba in Oliveira do Bairro to see a horse show, as my sister and her best friend are crazy about horses (and I must confess I kind of fell in love with those creatures, they're so beautiful and friendly!). In Fiacoba there are plenty of other attractions such as concerts, food and drinks, other animal exhibitions, etc.
Sorry about the photo quality, nothing was in my favor, it was dark, I was far away and against the light and there was this lovely lady in front of me recording the whole show and constantly putting her camera in front of mine. I still hope you enjoy the pictures! I sure did love the show!
