Portugal beyond the postcard.

The creator behind the stories

I’m Carter, the Portugal-based creator behind Atypical Vagabond. I make first-person travel films, practical guides, and photo stories about overlooked destinations, slow travel, the Camino de Santiago and the reality of living abroad. Based in Coimbra, I use on-the-ground exploration to help travelers find the details missing from standard travel brochures.

What we can create together

• Destination campaigns: on-location YouTube films, photography, local itineraries and supporting editorial guides.
• Hospitality content: distinctive accommodation stories, vertical videos, clean reusable clips and practical neighborhood coverage.
• Travel technology: real-world product testing, app demonstrations, founder interviews and authentic traveler stories.
• Media and creator collaborations: guest interviews, podcast conversations, creator crossovers and destination storytelling.
