I'm a multilingual journalist turned professional tour guide, blending nearly two decades of international newsroom experience with a passion for storytelling and travel. Since 2018, I’ve been guiding visitors through unforgettable experiences across iconic destinations, including New York City, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and Boston. I lead tours in multiple languages—English, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, French, and Spanish—often switching seamlessly between two in a single trip.

For the past three years, I’ve also had the privilege of guiding behind-the-scenes and historical tours at London’s Royal Opera House, sharing its rich cultural legacy with visitors from around the globe.

As a tour guide, I bring the curiosity and narrative skills of a journalist to every journey. I love researching fascinating facts and hidden stories, weaving them into tours that are as informative as they are entertaining. My background as a Los Angeles-based correspondent—interviewing Hollywood stars and reporting live on TV—has given me the confidence, charisma, and stage presence to truly engage audiences and make history come alive.

In addition to guiding, I offer travel planning assistance, helping you organize everything from tickets and hotels to full itineraries in destinations like the United States and Brazil. Whether you're exploring a city for the first time or looking for a deeper, more personal perspective, I'm here to help make your journey unforgettable.
