Who's behind this
I'm based in Rio de Janeiro, and I've spent years traveling to 32 countries so far, road-tripping through Europe one region at a time. Every recommendation on this site comes from a table I've sat at, a bed I've slept in, or a matcha I've actually finished — never a press release.
