ABOUT ME

I am Gustavo Dornelles, I am 32 years old, I am a veterinarian of birds and other wildlife, I currently work at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. I'm a Brazilian Jiujitsu black belt, and I spend my free time traveling with my girlfriend Deborah and our friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe the best thing in life is always to seek peace! I believe that every new country and person I meet, has a beautiful story behind and a lesson to learn. so I’m constantly looking for new adventures and ways to share happiness with others, because for me travelling is not about visit places, it is about meeting people and creating new experiences together.
