In 2010 I went to my first study abroad program.

I was doing my degree in Civil Engineering. I have an engineering degree, but I am now retired and let me explain why.

At that time, I was 22 years old and I could visit Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia.

I met many fantastic places and amazing people that have changed the way of seeing the world. I met people younger than me who were traveling for more than 6 months, it was not even the beginning of the trip.

People who were traveling alone to countries where even understand a word. It literally expanded my mind.

On my return to Brazil in one of my airport connections, I made a promise: Visit 50 countries before completing 30 years.

But how could I do that, returning to Brazil without a internship and 3 more years of college ahead?

But how could he do that after graduation, with only 30 days of vacation per year?

It was the moment that I decided to study how travel more for less, traveling smart!

Out looking information like mad in a few website on the subject in Brazil and several abroad. A lot of good websites and also a lot of crap and uncertain information.

And that my mission: Bring value content that will expand people's mind and help they to travel more and more!

And how i do this?

I shot photos, make films and write about all my trips.
