About me

When I first traveled to Brazil, it was during a six-month backpacking trip that took me across the country. Throughout that journey, I quickly realized how difficult it was to find accurate, up-to-date information in English about traveling in Brazil. Many of the guides I came across were outdated, incomplete, or focused only on the most popular tourist spots. Even when I searched in Portuguese, I often struggled to find clear answers. Brazil is a vast and diverse country, and so much of its charm lies off the beaten path, in places that aren’t well-documented—especially for non-Portuguese speakers.

​

I’ve traveled extensively across the world over the past 12 years, backpacking through various countries and living, working, and studying in places like Australia, Cambodia, Thailand, Mongolia, and Switzerland. But Brazil is the country I always return to. After my first trip, I knew my time in Brazil wasn’t over, and I eventually moved here.

 

My passion for exploring this country has taken me far beyond the major tourist destinations into the hidden gems most people never hear about. Whether it was tracking down a remote waterfall, figuring out how to get to a new town, I often had to do things the hard way. In many cases, I arrived in places with little to no information, asking locals how to get to my next stop. These conversations were invaluable. I jotted down everything—directions, unmarked stops, helpful advice from strangers—and built a wealth of firsthand knowledge. Through this process, I realized that this information could be incredibly useful for others.

​

That’s why I started documenting everything I discovered, creating detailed travel guides full of practical information. From saving pins for unmarked bus stops to writing down tips on the best local spots, I now provide firsthand advice from my own experiences. My goal is to help fellow travelers explore all of Brazil—not just the popular cities but the hidden corners that make this country so special.

I know how overwhelming it can be to travel without reliable information, and I want to make it easier for others to experience the magic of Brazil. I hope my guides help you plan your own Brazilian adventure!
