Welcome to the Blog

Hi! I am Angela, the author of BlondeAroundTheWorldTravel

I’m so happy to have you in my blog. 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.

In 2020, during the pandemic, the brand Blonde Around The World was born.

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.

The Eye of the Sahara is one of the most intriguing geomorphological formations in the world. No one really knows how it came about and the theories are as diverse as they are creative. From the ground it is not possible to get an exact perception of the size and beauty of the “eye”, but a brief search on the web is enough to understand how epic this place is. Mauritania is like colorful poetry. The colors of the desert rhyme with the color palette of people’s clothes, in perfect harmony. It’s as if we were walking through a painting of natural and cultural symbiosis. There she was, her eyes shining with curiosity, with sneakers in one hand and her school notebooks in the other. In a small oasis somewhere in the middle of Mauritania, that girl stopped on her way home to see the travelers. Curious, she stopped and smiled at the photograph. It was the most beautiful smile in that oasis and perhaps one of the most beautiful I photographed on this trip The infinite landscapes of Mauritania leave us speechless. The desert dresses itself in various colors and shapes. It transforms successively between giant dunes, endless plains and plateaus that were once mountains that collapsed. With the intrigued gaze of someone who is not very used to seeing foreign travelers in his small village, the owner of a store carefully observes the strangers who stopped there to get to know the enchanting place, where the houses blend with the sands of the Sahara.
