● About Me
Hi, I’m Elke.
I moved from Belgium to Portugal, chasing a deep longing for space, simplicity, and stillness.
After a rocky start and lots of searching, I ended up in the last place I expected: off-grid, in a Tiny House, surrounded by silence and nature.
Through my camera, I want to show you real life in Portugal.
What is it really like? The untold side of emigration. The beauty and challenge of Tiny House living. And of course: lots of images from the beautiful South.
Let’s wander together.
