This sight took my breath away last night. Just walking along the road, amazed at how many people are shopping in 5C and so early in the year and thinking I’ve seen Porto all before, then bam, this majestic structure reminded me how important it is to stay curious. • Approximately 11,000 azulejo (tiles) cover the façade of this chapel. • The tiles depict scenes from the life of Saint Ildefonso and figurative imagery from the Gospels and were placed on this “Chapel of the Souls” in November 1932. • A mass is held in the church daily. • #chapelofthesouls #staycurious #churchofthesouls #porto #tmtraveltips #tmtraveltipsportugal #churches #tiledchurch #tilesonthechurchwalls #azulejos #azulejoschurch (at Rua Santa Catarina)

The 2019 Sony World Photography Awards have released some early entries. 📸 Photographers from around the globe are invited to submit work—for free—across four different competitions. 📸 “I hope to be excited by work that is dynamic, challenging and brave in its approach. I want to honor photographers fighting for the sophisticated language of imagery, to celebrate those creating work that invites the viewer to stop, engage with and be compelled to discover more about what they are looking at.” 📸 If you’re interested in entering the 2020 Sony World Photography Awards, the Open competition is taking entries until January 7, 2020 at 1:00 pm GMT. See the contest’s website for more details and deadlines on how to enter the Professional, Youth, and Student competitions. 📸 Thanks to @lindanockler you inspired this view to stop in her tracks! 📸 #sonyworldphotographyawards #sonyphotography #sonyimages #tmtraveltips #vietnam #umbrella https://www.instagram.com/p/B6H1I0UJp-n/?igshid=1u69i8a8nv560

Famed as the game reserve that saved the white rhino, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi is 96 000 hectares. • It’s a 2.5 hour drive from my home in salt rock and it has 96 species of mammals and more than 330 species of birds. • The two rhino’s were play jostling with each other, it could have been the larger one teaching the younger one but what ever it was it was mesmerizing. • #umfolozi #umfolozigamereserve #umfolozihluhluwegamereserve #travelinsouthafrica #tmtraveltips #tmtraveltipssouthafrica #rhino #rhinoatplay #elephant #hluhluweimfolozi #hluhluweimfolozi #hluhluwegamereserve https://www.instagram.com/p/ByXUUKXp2Ud/?igshid=1jcirp9wzqlug

Andrea and I met in NYC in 2003. ~ We both got on the subway at the same station early on a Saturday morning with our yoga mats strapped to our backs. ~ What started off as a local train turned into an express train, (which often happens on weekends), and we went zooming past the stop we were both hoping to get off at, although we’d not said a word to each other yet. ~ When it did stop at 14th street we both got off and started running, clearly realizing we were headed to the same yoga class at Jivamukti, in the then, Lafayette Street studio. ~ We became friends and years later landed up moving to California about 2 weeks apart from each other. ~ Since then we’ve moved many times and met up in different parts of the world. Continuing to explore, learn and grow together. ~ Connections like I have with Andrea make me remember all the lives I’ve lived so far. ~ It reminds me to be so grateful for deep friendships that feed my soul. Nothing buys those feelings and nothing can replace them. ~ Rafa agrees, he’s connected with Andrea in 3 Countries so far. ~ Thanks for hanging out with us in beautiful Salt Rock @andreaschnoorpr ~ Till next time! ~ #saltrock #saltrockbeach #andreaschnoorpr #rafalabpointer #tmtraveltips #friends #friendswhotravel #beachtownsinsouthafrica #beachholidays #kwazulunatal #kznbeaches #kwazulunatalsurfspots #kwazulunatalsurfing (at Salt Rock) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwOfWmkJctD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fl4brsbfbw8g
