On my trips to Rio I film a series of episodes, each exploring facets of our culture and my personal journey rediscovering my home city. Explore Rio through my eyes in this mini-series and collect travel tips for your next visit to Rio de Janeiro.
Every trip to Rio is a soul walk for me. It’s an emotional swirl of my history, moments of introspection, “saudade de casa,” and the tenderness of hugging people you love, knowing it will be brief. Enjoy this documentation of this process and my journey to becoming a little more Carioca.
