My favorite destination? That’s a hard one. Sometimes it’s not even about the place itself, but the moments in between. Waking up with the van doors open to the ocean. Finding a quiet spot along the Portuguese coast where the sunrise slowly fills the sky. Making coffee outside the camper while the world is still asleep.

I travel with my camper not just to see new places, but to create space in my head. During the day I’m usually chasing waves, music, small cafés, and good conversations. At night I often end up somewhere in nature with a guitar, a notebook, or just sitting under the stars.

Lately, Ericeira has started to feel a little like home — surf town energy, rough cliffs, tiny bars, and a sense of freedom that’s hard to explain. But in the end, it’s never really about one destination. The best thing about van life is knowing you can always keep driving when something no longer feels right… and stay a little longer in the places that unexpectedly do.
