About me

Hi! I’m Mario Henrique Franceschini, an illustrator and creative professional. Originally from São Paulo, I’ve been living in Rio de Janeiro for over 20 years. I experience the city like a drawing in progress — colors, details, flavors, habits, and everyday rituals. I find beauty everywhere, from a bike ride around Paquetá Island to a quiet street downtown or a simple café full of visual stories. Let’s see and feel Rio together.

A day with me includes

Another Rio

A different perspective on Rio de Janeiro that goes far beyond the beaches and Carnival. History, architecture, quieter spots, interesting people – you'll be able to experience all of this with me during my tours of the city. And of course, if you're interested, a lively day at the beach or an authentic samba circle will also be great fun!
