Joana Taborda

Joana has had a thirst for traveling ever since her parents took her on her first flight abroad to London. Since then, she’s had a chance to visit several countries, but somehow, she always returns home to Portugal.

Working as a travel writer, she spends her time between the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, and the semi-tropical island of Madeira. She loves hopping on a train to little-known towns, drinking the local craft beer wherever she gets off, and writing about it all for the likes of Atlas Obscura, Fodor’s, Lonely Planet, and DK Eyewitness.
