Portraits: People of Sao Tome

Paul Mikulski aka Polinho documents alluring portraits of Saotomeans during his trip to Sao Tome and Principe.

“Sao Tome and Principe are two beautiful green islands with a peaceful and very friendly people. It’s also a destination very far from mass tourism. Nature is luxuriant. You can trek from one side of the island to the other, discovering the wildlife of this paradise, and also explore the history of a country that acquired its independence in 1975. “Roças” (Plantations ) are the legacies of this sad period of colonialism but you have to visit them to know more about this land and its welcoming people.”
