I’m Catarina, a wanderer from Lisbon, Portugal… or a backpack traveller with a camera!

Every word and photo here comes from my own journey — the places I’ve stayed, the meals I’ve enjoyed, and the routes I’ve taken. I travel independently and share it all without sponsors or ads, so what you read is real and unfiltered.

If you’ve found my blog helpful or inspiring, consider supporting it with a small contribution. Every donation helps me keep this project alive and free for everyone who loves exploring the world.

Thank you for helping me keep the journey going!
