Hi! I’m Rita
I’m a Portuguese solo female traveller in search of the world’s wildest and most remote corners on a budget. Over the past few years, I’ve hitchhiked across deserts, trekked through remote mountain valleys, and wandered through countries most travellers overlook.
Through Into the Wild Unknown, I share guides, tips, and stories to help you travel independently while embracing authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences.
