I’m a Capeverdean based photographer (Cape Verde is a 10 island country on the west coast of Africa), and from the past 2 to 3 months me and my friends have been exploring hard to reach places around our island (Santiago).
Some of these places are almost undiscovered by regular people, only by fishermen and locals.
We walk hours, we take boats, we hike and camp, so basically anything we need to do to get to our destination.
What we do is quite simple:
1. So, our country is literately 10 islands and there are natural coast beaches and mountains. We use Google Maps to search for bays or streams that we don’t really know about and ask around about it.
2. Every 15 days we choose one of those places as our destination and take care of the logistics. We always decide beforehand if we’re going to camp or just spend the day.
3. Once there, we explore take photos and enjoy the amazing views, beaches etc.
4. We connect with the locals (If there’re any) and get amazing stories about their routine and the place.
We plan to start doing the same on the other islands and do our best to get to know our country better and hopefully show others that Cape Verde is something more than it already is.
