Photo Gallery: Romantic Porto, Portugal

In today’s post, we would like to introduce you to Escape Hunter, who is a passionate traveler in his very early 30’s who explores the World driven by curiosity, thirst for culture, love for freedom and diversity. Escape Hunter explores the World solo and anonymously as an “incognito traveler”, digging deep and traveling rather slowly, taking enjoyable dips into travel’s various aspects and nuances. So far, Escape Hunter has visited 20 countries on 3 continents and well over 500 unique travel attractions. Although his website is still a rather new project, it is constantly growing with new “escapes” being published periodically, as well as travel advice and industry news. You can also connect with Escape Hunter via Facebook and Twitter.
