Hello, I’m Rui and I’m the guy behind Golden Days Photography – my “heart and soul” project.

Without any doubt, one of my favourite thing in life, is traveling. Pick up a plane or a car, grab a map and a camera and get to explore the most beautiful places around the world. Endless roads, snaky roads, roads to nowhere, lost towns, lakes, forests, mountains (ideally full of snow,) waterfalls,  and so on and on. @birdcageliving (IG) is where I share all these adventures and my personal stories.

Countryside

I was born and raised in the countryside, north of Portugal, among the rivers, mountains, cabins and a lot of freedom.
Where the bike took us everywhere.

City

A few years ago I moved to Lisbon and it’s here now where it feels like home.

Family

I’ve got an amazing wife, two lovely kids Simão and Beatriz and a lazy cat.

Music

I’m a punk rock kid, I play drums and guitar and I always played in bands and did a lot of tours across Europe.

Places

I’m a bit obsessed with discover and visit new places, remote places, mountains, forests, islands, basically raw nature.

Other

I love to travel, do road trips, play squash, listen to podcasts, watch documentaries and standup shows. I love SIA, google maps and Nutella 🙂
