About me
I love to travel, I visited many places in Brazil like Rio de Janeiro, Jericoacoara, Recife, Fortaleza, Salvador, Florianópolis...I also have been in Latin American countries like Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, México, Cuba.
But my deep and amazing trip was live for 1 years in San Diego, California. It was working in a hostel there that I discovered the pleasure and the know-how in guiding experiences, once a week I used to pick up some guests and walking around to drink, dance, eat. In that hostel I made sooo many friends aswell, from all over the world, who always come to visit me in Brazil.
Soooo I thought: Why not bring to São Paulo this experience of being a "local friend" who guides tours?
Now my dream is travel around Europe, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Italy, Turkey...
I would like to make new trips to improve languages (English / Spanish), to live other cultures, meet people and learn new skills.

City's Tips & Traps
-
Casa das Caldeiras
Amazing place with big parties and concerts. Is a big abandoned factory with a lot of cultural events. -
Fatiado Discos
One of my favority spot in São Paulo! Concerts for free, dance night, good beers and a amazing outside area to smoke. -
Terraço Tokyo
An old building in Center of São Paulo. 4 floors with restaurant, karaoke, parties and an outdoor balcony. -
Bar do Beco
Outdoor bar with good food, drinks and artesanal beers. Bar do Beco is touched by a staff connected to communications and photography. Most benches and tables occupy the pleasant outside area, reminiscent of a backyard. The "help yourself" system makes life easier for large groups -
Beco do Batman
Amazing alley with street art, bars, concerts. The Beco do Batman is a platter located in Vila Madalena, a bohemian neighborhood in the western part of the city of São Paulo. The passage was named after a graphite of the homonym character of DC Comics many years ago, and eventually became a tourist spot because of graffiti painted on the walls. -
Casa das Caldeiras
Amazing place to party and concerts. Is a big abandoned factory with a lot of cultural events. -
SESC Unidade Pompeia
One of my favorite spot in São Paulo! I have been in sooo many good concerts there. An amazing place to chill during the day and hang out, drink and see concerts at night. There has a big theater too, and some comfortable places to read a book. -
Vila Madalena
This neighborhood is amazing for being a bohemian stronghold of the city of São Paulo, since the early 70's when students with no money moved there, There is a great concentration of bars, restaurants and nightclubs, because of the reputation as a young and bohemian neighborhood. -
Praça do por do sol
Amazing place to see the sunset and São Paulo view. The square is in a great location, was in excellent condition, well cut grass, everything very clean and organized, the view of the sunset is perfectly and incredible -
Bar do Baixo
Nice spot to dance and drink with friends. Good parties and brasilian music. Some concerts of forró, samba, latin music -
Feira da Benedito Calixto
Street market, good to buy souvenirs, eat and drink beers. The whole square returns a few years ago with exhibitors selling products more than 100 years of history. A band and a food court are in the center. -
Nossa Casa Confraria de Ideias
Famous place in Vila Madalena to party all night long. A place where one celebrates life with thematic parties, concerts and events that motivate the union of friends and the free expression of thought and behavior. A house where one hears poetry and music, one sees dance, performances, theatrical polls and visual arts, and that one knows beautiful people. Is one of the few places where we can feel ourselves meeting friends at home. -
Rockombole
My favorite cultural center with good concerts and drinks. Rockombole is a space destined to events of more varied species. I believe it is a good idea to check the instagram page to see what events will going on at the time of the visit. The place is beautiful, with all wooden decor and small trees to add to the design. It has several environments, including an entrance space with bar, covered space for shows, a kind of mezzanine upstairs and a smoke area in the upper part outside. -
Museum of Art of São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand
Assis Chateaubriand (better known by the acronym MASP) is one of the most important Brazilian cultural institutions. It is located, since November 7, 1968, on Avenida Paulista/São Paulo, in a building designed by the Italian-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi to be its headquarters. Famous for the span of more than 70 meters that stretches under four enormous pillars. MASP has the most important and comprehensive collection of Western art from Latin America and from the entire southern hemisphere, in which the consistent sets concerning the Italian and French schools are particularly notable. -
Buteco do Edy
One of my favorite bars in Vila Madalena with bests Caipirinhas and Pastel. I use to sitting in a table on the street and spend afternoon there drinking. -
Beco do Baixo
Such an amazing spot to hang with friends, listen and dance Samba and have fun. This place is a bar in a open area, looks like a square.
Write about your own experiences guiding as a Local Friend. You can write these on your own voice, relating the unique experiences you were able to give who was traveling with you. Example: "Last week, I guided a traveler from Spain who wanted to experience the city beyond the main attractions. We started with a quiet morning at a small coffee shop only locals know, then wandered through a street art alley where I could share the stories behind each mural. They told me it was their favorite part of the trip because it felt like discovering a secret side of the city, one they would have never found alone."
