ORGASMS & TRAVELS It’s Women’s Day, and like many of my fellow female friends, I’m surprised we are still arguing about Women’s Rights and Gender Equality. So I’ve decided to cover a tabu topic (even for Women): Orgasms & Travels. I still find sex-talk is seen as a tabu in many places. Especially when it…

A VIDA COM OS NÓMADAS DA MONGÓLIA A momondo desafiou-me a descrever a experiência de viver um verdadeiro choque cultural em viagem, e claro, lembrei-me logo da “minha” Mongólia. Não há outro lugar onde eu tenha viajado que me tenha atirado para tão longe da minha zona de conforto, mas de que eu goste tanto!…

Since I’ve moved back to São Pedro do Sul, I’ve been having lots of fun! It’s amazing to see the efforts that have been made to keep our traditions alive, as well as all that has been made to promote our culture, nature and traditions. This is a video of a day where this little…
I’m often asked about what to pack, how much does my bag weight, which items one must bring… So I’ve decided to give you a little (written) help! Backpacking is fun, but difficult to manage. The best packing practices come only with a lot of pratice. I’ve been backpacking for years, and I’ve made a…
Being Portuguese, many of my fellow traveller friends, when travelling to Portugal, ask me about things to do and see in Portugal, and mostly in Lisbon. Since I’m not in Lisbon often, and I live far, I’ve decided to go on a walking tour with my friend Raquel, from Lisboa’te Tours! Raquel started these Lisbon…
Histórias de crenças e perseverança Apaixonada por história, Katya – a minha anfitriã em Moscovo – e o seu companheiro, Kirill, desafiaram-me para ir até Vladimir, uma pequena cidade a 2h de Moscovo. Apesar do seu tamanho modesto, esta cidade milenar, tem um grande peso na história ortodoxa da Rússia: várias igrejas, catedrais e mosteiros,…
It’s the menstrual cup! This may be a bit off-putting to all the boys reading this, but ladies will understand! Right? I just recently got my first menstrual cup. I got mine from Lunette, at just under 40€. They deliver world wide, takes about 7 days to ship. Check their delivery policies here. (PORTUGUÊS – o…
André Parente is the mind behind Tempo de Viajar, a website that provides tips and tricks for the independent traveller, with nearly 170k followers on Facebook alone. Since André has more accumulated miles than a small group of gap year teenagers altogether, what better place to interview him than at an airport? I met up…
Interview with instagrammer José Miguel, mostly known as @voodoolx on Instagram. I interviewed him in one of the most picturesque neighbourhoods in Lisbon, Graça, a quick chat over a coffee break. Voodoo is using a BlackEye lens in the video. Music “Myriad Ways” by Jonah Dempcy from the Free Music Archive | CC BY NC Check out his top…

It’s a festival that focuses not only on musical performances, but also hosts a music market and talks around the music industry, open to all those who are interested.…
Priscilla is a travel editor and journalist for travel websites such as Chicken or Pasta or Almost Locals. A true digital nomad, Priscilla’s lifestyle cruises on many time zones. I was luck enough to grab a coffee with her at the amazing Fábulas café in Lisbon (thanks for letting us film!), and Priscilla was kind enough…
The Lello & Irmão bookshop is, since 2013, officially a cultural heritage in Porto, Portugal. J.K. Rowling wrote part of the Harry Potter stories here in Porto, and got inspired in the Lello bookshop to create the staircases we know from Harry Potter’s Hogwarts school. Tomorrow – 13th January – the bookshop is celebrating its 110th…
I travelled through Colombia in November 2015. This is my first attempt putting a video together. It was shot using an iPhone 6 and a GoPro Hero 3+. Special thanks to Lucie, who I met along the journey, in San Andres, and then met again in Palomino.
Arriving in Bogotá I have already shared with you my experience of arriving in Bogotá here in this post. When I first arrived, I didn’t get the chance to really get to know Bogotá. I left almost immediately to the islands (the day after I’ve arrived), and then flew back about 10 days later. Then, I finally got…
[:en]Palomino is one of best places I visited so far. Great beaches sitting on top of the huge mountain, raising 5kms above the sea, and with snow resting on tops, visible by dawn. Inhabited by the indigenous tribes for over 15000 years, with the Palomino river inviting us to explore deeper into the jungle, out to the sea.[:]
Arriving in Santa Marta Even though Santa Marta has its own airport, I arrived by bus, from Cartagena. I arrived in Cartagena on a Monday afternoon, after a hectic stay in San Andres. Landing on Colombia’s mainland was a relief. Finally, I could get a couple minutes and embrace the joy that the worst part had…
SAN ANDRES (THE LITTLE ISLANDS) Trip to Acuario, Haynes Cay and Johnny Cay Islands The next day we decided to go visit the other islands. One can book a day trip to the surrounding islands in San Andres, also from the hostel. This may be a little more expensive when comparing to on-site tickets, but help…
SAN ANDRES (THE GOOD PART) Arriving in San Andres I left Bogotá when it was already dark. As I hopped on the plane (a flight from VivaColombia), hoping to find lots of other foreigner tourists, like myself. I was really surprised, there were only Colombians onboard! In fact the only foreigner. VivaColombia is a low-cost airliner,…
My first flight was Lisbon – Amsterdam. We left with a 45min delay due to foggy weather in Northern Europe. My flight was Lisbon’s first departing flight, at 5am. I had no sleep the night before, as I had a long journey ahead, and was really hoping I could sleep on the plane. When I…
The big Times Square. The thing I loved the most was the sense of belonging: so much going on, so many love stories around me, completely oblivious to my presence. Love was all around. It’s Valentine’s Day, I had finally arrived in NYC! The best of the 4h drive was the driver. Such a character,…
