Amanda Pareico
For me, traveling is much more than just visiting somewhere different: it is a way to discover more about the ways of the world and myself.
Traveling is my lifestyle and as a Travel Specialist, I am sure that I will able to share some of my experiences and my love for discovering this enormous planet with you!
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"Culture, vegetarian cuisine, nightlife, outdoor activities, locals, LGBT friendly places...
I was able to live in Paraty, ecovillages, sleep on the road, go trekking, hiking, backpacking through the northeast of Brazil. I did and I am doing a little bit of everything! "
How did you get involved in travel?
"As I was lucky enough to have been born in Rio de Janeiro, I am close to uncountable breathtaking places and had the opportunity to visit most of them!
Since I was a child I have traveled with my parents and by consequence, I have taken this habit to my life. I can't think of anything that makes me more fulfilled than putting on my backpack and leaving for the unknown."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I had the opportunity to spend some weeks in an ecovillage in Bahia, close to Praia do Forte. There we woke up early, with our feet being embraced by the mud of the mangrove, surrounded by one of the most beautiful landscapes I had the chance to see. Learning and reflecting on our role in the balance of the environment that we live is something that I am always looking for and I can say that on this trip I had a lot of it (which was amazing)."
