Work with Daniela

Olá! I’m Daniela – the writer, photographer, and Portugal enthusiast behind this blog. Olá Daniela is where I share thoughtful travel and food guides, real experiences and practical advice for people wishing to explore a deeper, more meaningful side of Portugal.

Every month, more than 100,000 travellers land on this site looking for tips on where to go, what to eat, and how to explore Portugal in a more intentional way – whether that means getting off the tourist trail, connecting with artisans and chefs, or finding gems in the most popular places.

I’m not a fly-in, fly-out blogger. I live here, and I’ve built deep local knowledge over time. I’m looking to work with brands, tourism boards, and businesses that offer genuine, standout experiences in Portugal – ones that are powered by real passion and heart.

Why work with me?

I’m not here for flashy promos or copy-paste content. I have 10+ years’ experience as a writer and I create genuinely useful guides that readers actually use to plan their trips. Think:

  • SEO-friendly articles that rank and convert
  • Warm, human writing that builds trust
  • Honest recommendations that people come back for


My audience comes first. If I’m recommending something, it has to be because I believe in it – and my readers know this. They trust me, and they take action based on my real, lived experiences.

 

How we can collaborate

Press Trips & Experiences: Invite me to experience your property, tour, region, or event firsthand – and I’ll create content (on my terms) that helps people discover it for themselves.

Sponsored Blog Content: Thoughtful, story-led SEO blog posts that naturally showcase your brand or destination. I don’t do copy-paste press releases – just honest coverage, beautiful photos, and content built to last on Google.

Photography & Brand Content: Need great imagery or well-written blog content for your channels? I freelance too. Let’s make your brand shine.

Newsletter Features: I send a monthly newsletter to 750+ subscribers planning trips to Portugal. Want to be part of it?

Social Media: While I focus on long-form content, I also share my travels on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and X. It’s quality over quantity here.

Affiliate Partnerships: If your product or service genuinely helps travellers in Portugal, I’d love to explore an affiliate partnership.
