Santos is internationally known as the place where the greatest football player of all time became a legend. Pelé arrived in 1956 as a boy from rural Minas Gerais and left as a three-time world champion with the Brazilian national team. At the time, Pelé was considered the most famous and recognized person in the world, even without the internet or social media. Imagine the impact a boy from the Brazilian countryside had, playing in a city that, at the time, had just over 200

If you don't know where to stay in Rio , you came to the right place! Like any city, Rio has good and bad neighborhoods. But it has a particular characteristic: proximity. What I mean is that everything in Rio is very close together . In other words, very upscale neighborhoods can have favelas (slums) and simpler communities right next to them. This doesn't mean that these places are dangerous, but when choosing accommodation in the city, it's very easy to make a mistake and

Sunset at Caraíva River If I were to choose my next vacation, I would definitely go to Bahia . Besides the perfect climate - sun all year round - Bahia has history, culture, food, and breathtaking landscapes and beaches. In other words, Bahia has it all ! The history of Brazil is closely linked to the state, as it was there that the Portuguese landed in the 16th century and made Salvador our first capital. Even the point of "discovery" still generates many discussions here, a

I lived in São Paulo for over fifteen years and one of the most enjoyable and rewarding things after a week of hard work was going out to lunch with family or friends. The city is known for its gastronomy and its thousands of restaurants of all types, but here I put those that I have a special affection and that I really enjoyed going out to eat on weekends. What I can guarantee is that in any of these, you will eat very well and have a great time. *If you are traveling to Br

Piri, as we affectionately call it, is one of those small towns with a colonial air, old houses, a main church, and cobblestone streets that you fall in love with at first sight. I've been going to Pirenópolis since I was 17. I spent my first New Year's Eve away from my parents there. I remember it like it was yesterday when we got our parents' approval to travel all friends together for the first time. The hostel we stayed at, the tiny room, and the beers we drank secretly.

In 2020, I embarked on a six-month road trip across Brazil in my trailer, and one of the most incredible places I visited was São Jorge, a small village nestled in the heart of the Chapada dos Veadeiros in Goiás. I stayed there for about a month, and I can assure you, it's a truly unique place. They say that the Chapada sits on a massive quartz crystal plate , and because of this, the land exudes a different kind of energy for those who walk upon it. I don't know if it's true

I love to eat and sushi is definitely my favorite food. I've been to Japan twice and, believe it or not, São Paulo has sushi restaurants just as good as those in Japan . At the beginning of the 20th century, we had one of the largest Japanese immigration flows in history, and today there are over 2 million descendants living in Brazil . That's why you'll find so much good Japanese food here! Of course, you won't find great sushi on every corner, because unfortunately Brazil h

São Paulo is an incredible city for countless reasons, but its proximity to the coast is undoubtedly one of the things I love most . Many foreigners don't even consider the São Paulo coast when thinking about visiting Brazilian beaches, and that's a huge mistake! I've visited beaches in many parts of the world, and the São Paulo coast is, in my opinion, one of the most wonderful places in the world. The beaches are clean, with white sand and surrounded by the Atlantic Forest

São Paulo is a gigantic city! Over 11 million people live in the metropolitan area and, like any big city, there are several problems such as transportation, violence, poverty, etc. But at the same time, it's a super welcoming city, with great people and thousands of amazing places to visit. I might be biased because I was born here and, although I've lived in many other places, I love SP. Estaiada Bridge - São Paulo In Brazil, we often say that São Paulo never sleeps. If yo
