Have you ever looked closer at the beach? Have you found some? You can report your finding at to help pushing for better legislation for regulating the plastics industry.

And as always, we need to invest in circular and reuse systems to get on top of the intense amount of waste we produce and consumer. One awesome example is reusable shipping & moving boxes by !

I never thought that the most beautiful privilege I receive in my life is through trash... Trash opened doors to so many wonderful people along a stunning 2400 km coastline. It shall not be the last km walked - 2027 will come, and we need to get back celebrating the ocean and the people who care for it. Muito obrigado e um grande abraço.

Instagram only let's me add 20 tags and 20 pics. Not enough to thank all the beautiful encounters along this way.

Microplastic beaches. We need to break free from so much plastic, especially single use, and invest in a circular economy! Just a reminder that recycling means downcycling - the plastic loses quality - and doesn't make our world circular.

The world celebrates World Cleanup Day, but it should never be just about cleaning.

It should be about raising awareness of a failing linear system in which we don’t value our resources.

Pick up trash to show the consequences of overconsumption, not to make the problem disappear. The solution is always a circular economy to reuse materials.

Do you agree with my answer? 🦈

Walked 1020 km for the ocean along the entire Azores coastline and along the way asks you if you want to give a talk when you reach with your hike Faial… Of course, but I said: just in Portuguese! So on top of the exhausting hike and meeting schools along the way, I also writote a script and practised while walking. Quite some people along the way thought I was a bit crazy talking to myself in a quite expressive way…

Packing List for a 3 months 1020 km hike along the entire coast of Azores; meeting schools, communities, NGOs to unite and raise awareness for ocean conservation together. Take a backpack and care for the planet!

Thanks to for providing the equipment and bringing more and more recycled and natural fibers in your collections!

This contribution was too beautiful not to share in full, and it’s worth listening to until the end. A big thank you to our special guest Filipe (in the video), the owner of , who helped communicate the project and spread ocean awareness!

All the scenes in this video were recorded while hiking 1,020 km along the entire coast of Azores. Can you recognise some of the places?

Along the way, I asked people “What does the ocean give you?” It’s been an incredible journey, with 300 voices already joining the documentary film, which will return next year to the Azores and travel across Portugal!

We’re editing the movie, and you can still join and be included for next year:

Either comment your ocean relation or record a video. Or just tell us in which location we should screen it next year!?

Meu deus.. all life depends on her. The ocean produces 50% of the world's oxygen, absorbs carbon dioxide generated by human activities, and stores excess heat caused by greenhouse gas emissions, regulating global temperatures... what's your favourite ocean fact?

This was me for weeks... Hiking along the wonderful coast of Azores, meeting people, schools, NGO, and practicing my Portuguese script for .

Obrigado Açores! asked if I'd like to speak. I said yes, but only in Portuguese! 🤣 First, they were doubting... But I still had weeks to hike before reaching Faial and the event. So while walking around São Jorge, Graciosa, Terceira & Pico - I wrote the script and practised while walking. It's such a meditative thing to do, and you don't even realise how another 10 km just passed by. Quite some people along the way thought I was a bit crazy talking to myself in a quite expressive way...
