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
Zeline Santana
Hey wanderlust souls! I'm Zeline, a proud Dominican American and your go-to travel friend. Born in Brooklyn N.Y and raised in the vibrant tapestry of Dominican culture, I've taken the plunge into the world of exploration, and I'm here to share my passion for travel with you.
As a first-generation cycle breaker in my family, I understand the transformative power of travel. Growing up, the idea of exploring beyond our familiar surroundings was a distant dream. My immigrant roots instilled in me a deep appreciation for the sacrifices my family made, sparking a desire to break barriers and embrace the world beyond borders.
I am acutely aware of the privilege that comes with being a first-generation traveler. It's not just about collecting stamps on a passport; it's about shattering preconceived notions and paving the way for future generations. Through my journeys, I aim to amplify the voices of those who might not have the same opportunities, reminding us all of the power of resilience and the strength found in diverse narratives.
Embarking on an adventure can be daunting, especially when navigating new terrains. That's where my meticulously crafted map guides come in. Whether you're wandering through the cobbled streets of Santo Domingo or chasing waterfalls in the Dominican Republic's lush landscapes, my guides are designed to be your trusty sidekick.
Each map is a curated treasure trove of hidden gems, local hotspots, and cultural insights. It's not just about where to go but also how to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of each destination. From the sizzling street food stalls to the soul-stirring beats of Merengue, my guides ensure you experience the heart and soul of every place you visit.
Can't pack your bags just yet? No worries! I offer personalized video consultations to bring the world to you. Whether you're planning your next getaway or seeking inspiration for armchair exploration, these virtual sessions are your gateway to the wonders of the globe
