São Tomé and Príncipe, a tropical paradise nestled in West Africa's Gulf of Guinea, is what you'd get if you cross-stitched Hawaii with Portugal and sprinkled in a healthy dash of Caribbean spirit. It's an archipelago where the national bird is a Dwarf Ibis - solid proof that size doesn't always matter (sorry, ostriches!). Forget traffic jams - here, you're more likely to get held up by a sauntering sea turtle or a wayward cocoa pod. So pack your adventurous spirit, because this pint-sized nation promises a bold-sized experience!
