I'm a very happy and curious person and I live my life with energy and enthusiasm. I love to travel, so I do that as much as I can! The most exceptional experiences I had while traveling happened through connecting with locals. I enjoy learning from people about other cultures and sharing time and stories. Originally from Brazil and with a background in architecture and design, I had the chance to visit many countries and live in different cities. Finally, I've chosen Barcelona as my home town. I moved here many years ago and I'm still enchanted by its beauty every day I step out of my door! Driven by my passion for people and Barcelona, in 2016 I started sharing my knowledge about the city with travelers as a local host, offering personalized experiences & tailor-made tours, as a way to give back to all the people that converted my trips into meaningful life moments! I'm passionate about this vibrant city and it will be a pleasure to share it with you! Master's degree in Urban Management - UPC Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona / Spain Post-graduation in Urban Studies - Bauhaus, Dessau / Germany Degree in Architecture & Urbanism - UNIRITTER, Porto Alegre / Brazil I can arrange a private car or a minivan with a driver.

Poblenou and the 22@ District: A Private Smart-City Tour with an Architect
Overview of your Barcelona tour
Recognized as a UNESCO-UIA World Capital of Architecture, Barcelona offers a masterclass in how a city can reinvent itself for the future. This exclusive experience will take you off the beaten path to give you a deeper understanding of how new technologies are reshaping not only cities but our everyday lives. Focusing on Poblenou, you will learn about the 22@ District urban plan and the Superblock (Superilla) project. You will explore landmarks like Jean Nouvel’s Torre Glòries and the eco-intelligent Media-TIC building. Once an industrial zone, Poblenou is now a cool tech hub under active transformation. As a resident and researcher of its urban transformation strategies, I can share my unique perspective and show you a neighborhood of contrasts, where contemporary architecture coexists with historic warehouses. Whether you are an architect or a curious traveler, this experience will connect you with the newest Smart Cities strategies for a city that is at the forefront of urban technological innovation!
