SURF & STAY
Why should you get this book? Because it’s a beautiful present for anyone that is into surfing, photography, travel, graphic design, music and campervans. It’s a real coffee table book; it has a hard cover in a light yellow color and the paper is thick and of high quality. The writer, a female Belgian journalist, traveled for 7 months along the Spanish and Portuguese coast in a campervan to gather all info you’ll need for your next surf trip. She writes about her personal experience on the trip, and for every region she shares the best places to surf, eat and sleep. And yes, Olá Onda is in there! Next to guesthouses the writer Veerle Helsen also provides campervan spots and playlists for during your roadtrip. The inspirational photography and graphic design lifts this book to the next level and makes it a beautiful present.
