About us

We're Vasco and Sara, a couple from Portugal with a passion for travel, photography, and meticulous trip planning. Sara, with her background in tourism and HR, has always loved crafting every detail of our adventures, while Vasco is the one behind the lens, capturing the beauty of the places we explore.

We started this blog to share our experiences, tips, and travel itineraries, so you can feel confident and inspired as you plan your own journeys. From the neon lights of Tokyo to the serene landscapes of Iceland, we've been lucky to experience some incredible destinations, and now we're here to guide you through your own adventures.

Whether you’re looking for detailed itineraries, practical travel tips, or just some inspiration for your next trip, you’ve come to the right place. Japan is one of our all-time favorites, so you’ll find plenty of content about our adventures there, but we’ve got a world of experiences to share with you.

So, dive in, explore, and let Waddle Wanders help you prepare for your next unforgettable journey!
