About me
I was born and raised in Recife and feel very passionate about the city. I have moved back here after living in Fernando de Noronha for six years, an incredibly beautiful island off the coast, just 01h away on a plane. It was a super rich experience where I had the chance to interact with travelers from all over the world.
In 2011, I traveled around Europe for a couple of months, and studied English in Dublin for a month, another amazing experience!
I’m really interested in nature and culture and love exchanging ideas so it is a real pleasure to me to welcome foreigners and try to provide the visitors with a more genuine local experience.

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."
