Our pre-shutdown road trip in March 2020 (Throwback Thursday)
🕑 Added 2024-09-19 06:00:07 +0000 UTCif you're wondering: yes, we do have a full roll of film from porto sitting at home, waiting to be taken in to be developed. haha. i'm just waiting to get through another roll of film first...
so... longtime buncharted viewers may know that michelle and i had big plans in 2020 to do some extensive world traveling, starting with asia. however, with new covid shutdowns happening (especially there) seemingly daily, we decided to postpone the asia trip and take a road trip around the US instead while we waited for the planned "europe leg" of our trip to begin...
(well, that didn't happen. but anyway...)
on this trip, we drove across texas. we stopped at the random highway exit that we mentioned in our utrecht patreon video, went to marfa (an art community in the middle of nowhere - there's a fake, full-size prada store in the middle of the desert there), and white sands national park.

Amazing photos and an amazing landscape!

Alex, you can't not have a 'walking away, naked' photo of yourself as well ;) I mean, it's only fair to Michelle :P

Michelle is more than beautiful. Take care Alex.
buncharted
haha yeah, we all know she’s a prada girl 😂

Nice pics Alex! Great vibe! A throw back to the times you could not afford clothes. Or did Michelle have a tantrum like "If it is no Prada I'm not wearing it!" ?

I see now why you tried that port in portugal.

The vast emptiness leaves room for some exceptional freedom too ;-)
buncharted
yeah there is something about the desert. it’s just so barren and empty. love it out there
Wim
Love the atmosphere in the pictures. Comes over as slightly postapocalyptic to me.

Definitely; I think it would be difficult to generate enough turnover at that location to make a living ;-)

You two seem to have some raw talent when it comes to photography. Michelle is wildly attractive herself :-) and Alex is able to capture it in an artistic way. There will soon be a new series "Het perfecte plaatje" on television RTL 4, a program in which famous Dutch people (also hobby photographers) enter into a friendly "battle" with each other for the perfect picture. Maybe fun to follow and look at some older results on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/explore/search/keyword/?q=%23hetperfecteplaatje

You are 100% right! 🤣🤣🤣
buncharted
what’s weirder? probably the prada store 😂

Really weird to see a Prada-store in the middel of nowhere and a naked chick ...
