Must-see Landmarks

Dom Luís I Bridge

We explored this iconic double-deck iron bridge with the most stunning views, straight out of a postcard. The views were so captivating that I purchased artwork illustrating the homes along the bridge. Walking the bridge was amazing, and the weather in April was perfect. From the bridge, we were able to view the city alongside the Douro River.

Livraria Lello

What's a trip without visiting a bookstore? During my solo trip to Spain, I walked into a bookstore, and it was interesting to see the types of literature offered in other places so I decided to make that my travel tradition. If you can, make a point to buy a book; that's even better and allows you to support writers from other countries. Livraria Lello in Porto is hands down one of the most beautiful bookstores I've been to. Its stunning architecture includes a very special and intricate wooden staircase (the photos on the staircase are a must).

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hey wanderlust souls! I'm Zeline, a proud Dominican American and your go-to travel friend. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., and raised within the vibrant tapestry of Dominican culture, I’ve embraced a love for exploration and am here to share that passion with you. As someone who's journeyed from the bustling streets of the Big Apple to far-off destinations, I’m excited to help you discover the world in new and authentic ways. As a first-generation cycle breaker, travel holds a special place in my heart. Growing up, exploring beyond our familiar surroundings seemed like a distant dream. However, my immigrant roots and the sacrifices my family made instilled in me a deep desire to break barriers and embrace the world beyond borders. Traveling, for me, isn't just about adventure—it's about shattering preconceived notions, embracing diverse narratives, and paving the way for future generations. Embarking on a new journey can feel daunting, especially when navigating unfamiliar places. That’s why I’ve crafted meticulously curated travel guides designed to be your trusty companion. Whether you’re strolling through Santo Domingo's historic streets or chasing waterfalls in the Dominican Republic’s lush landscapes, my guides are filled with hidden gems, local hotspots, and cultural insights to help you experience each destination’s heart and soul. Can't pack your bags just yet? No worries! I also offer personalized curated recs to bring the wonders of the world to your fingertips, helping you plan your next getaway or dive into armchair exploration.
