Hello! I’m Catarina, a traveler and amateur photographer.
I’m from Lisbon, Portugal where I spent most of my life… but presently I’m wandering through the world!
My journey started in 2013 and led me to the Asian continent, mainly South-East Asia: Cambodia, south-west of China, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Myanmar (Burma) that I have been visiting several times in the last years. But Thailand, Nepal and India where de countries were I stay for a longer time, having the chance to explore more remotes areas of India, like Ladakh, Kashmir, Nagaland…
Japan and Taiwan are the most Easter places that I visited until now.
I also visited a bit to North Africa and the Middle East: Iran, Morocco and Turkey.
With the pandemic many things changed about traveling and after a halt of two years I went back to the road, this time focusing more in shorter trips like. So more recently East Turkey and Lebanon become my recent passions because of the rich history and the mix of cultures.
But my biggest surprise was Bangladesh, a less visited country with not that many attractions but that definitively grab me by the kindness and friendliness of the people.
With this blog I share my trips, giving information and tips on how you can travel safe and cheaper, how to manage land border-crossings, how to get visa… all based on my own experience, hoping that my experience will help other travelers and works also as an inspiration for the ones that didn’t start yet.
I’m not sure about what makes me keep on traveling but photography is for sure one of the reasons to keep on going, trying to capture the spirit and atmosphere of the places, the local lifestyle and portrait the people.
And the food… food is for sure one of the things that most trills me when I travel. But being vegetarian brings new challenges, and I hope that sharing my experience will make your travel easier and yummier!
Love and Respect
