Recognized by International Media as a Brazilian Cultural Specialist, I am the owner of Bromelia Rio and head up the local team curating your trip. A native of California and a lifetime traveler, I now call Rio de Janeiro my home. I have lived in India, Paris, London, L.A. & San Francisco; but thrive off of tropical beaches, good food, and conversation at a local’s watering hole. My travel philosophy is to find soul and authenticity in every detail, but to sleep in exquisite accommodation. A trip should be influenced by native design, sound, flavors and the richness of interactions with local people. I began Bromelia Rio because I want you to fall in love with Brazil as I once did.
