About me

German expat, living in Rio de Janeiro for about 7 years now, in Brasil since 2001. I work as a freelance graphic designer, and spend most of my free time outdoors. As a local friend I offer spending a day in the Favela Vidigal, and/or hiking up the Dois Irmãos Trail, which probably has the most beautiful 360° view of the city. I can give some authentic insights of favela life, history and culture. There are alot little explored hiking trails which offer breathtaking views of Rio, with varying degrees of dificulty. But I also enjoy hanging out on hidden beaches, dipping into waterfalls in the Tijuca Forest or going out to shows, expositions and pubs, as long as in good company!
