Caiçara Craftwork Experience

I'm the type of a guide that likes to promote collective well-being, through harmony between people and nature. What motivates me is to work with ethical and sustainable tourism. As an intercultural tour guide I like to show to my guests a little bit of everyday's cultural life. I've been working as a Tour Leader/ Tour Director since 2012, when I first decided to be a National guide and to travel around Brazil. That gave me the knowledge of getting in touch with amazing places all over Brazil. Most of the international travel companies I know do not advertise the beauties of the South of Brazil, what I mostly see advertised is the Iguaçu National Falls, Rio de Janeiro and the Amazon Rainforest. I am very passionate about my work and it's with great pleasure that I love to talk about new places to visit and to show to all travellers this part of Brazil, the special secrets and sites of Curitiba City and Paraná Coast. Through my initiatives, I like to encourage the use of renewable resources, circular economy and make it a part of everyday life. I recognise tourism as a cultural phenomenon and an educational tool. I incentive tours, with special emphasis on culture, nature, amazing parks and local communities. The highest values ​​in Brazil are the cultural legacy of traditional communities and their respect for nature. Learning more about these values ​​is what I most value and include in every tour designed to provide to my guests an unforgettable travel experience. I hold a degree in Tourism since 2007. After university finished, I went to London to study english for 1 year (2008). In 2009, I moved to Perth, where I conquered an Australian degree in Business and Management. Later on, I certified in Marine Tourism and Outdoor Recreation (2010). In 2012 I came back to Brazil and since then I started working as National and South American Tour director as well as a local tour guide accredited by CADASTUR. In 2013, I got my certification in a Dale Carnegie Course. I'm also a specialist in Nature Conservation and Environmental Conservation (2016) and designer in Urban Permaculture (2017). During my years living and working abroad I have worked internationally in cafes, events and hospitality sectors. Since I got back to Brazil, I became an ambassador for Zero Waste International Alliance. I believe in the power of socio-environmental interactions and human development. I'm keen on Sustainable Tourism. None
