Hi! I'm Ângela

Blonde Around The World Travel

I’m so happy to have you in my community. I’m a urban planner and photographer, addicted to explore the world and get connected with other cultures. Until now I’ve been in 5 continents. Don’t ask me how many countries I’ve visited because I don’t collect stamps in my passport, I rather collect memories. I’m Portuguese by birth, a world citizen by heart and a photographer by soul. Being a woman, a photographer and traveling mostly solo, with extensive experience in planning my own trips, social platforms emerged naturally, not only as a means to publicize the destinations where I go to, but also as a vehicle for demystifying the stigmas and paradigms associated with them. With photos published in national magazines (e.g. National Geographic Portugal and Volta ao Mundo Magazine) and presence in international sites (e.g. Viewbug and Agora). The main focus is to make less popular destinations known. At the end of the day I’m a storyteller who has some great adventures to share with you :)
