About Beatriz

I am a person that likes to explore new places, specially if there is culture and nature together. And I found in Rio de Janeiro the perfect city where I can find these things at the same time! I am from São Paulo, where I lived my first 21 years. Then I moved to Europe and lived there for 7 years, in places such as Germany, Italy, England. However, after I came back to Brazil, I got a job in Rio de Janeiro, where I came back in 1996. From this day on, I simply felt in love with this city and I'm living here since then. Meanwhile I got married and I have a small child. We enjoy riding bicicle, going to parks, to the beach, listen to music and going to museums. I have a degree in Journalism, worked in the international audiovisual area for 20 years, buying and selling TV programs for TV channels such as TV Cultura, Globosat, Canal Futura. At the moment, I work as a Tour Guide in Rio and cities nearby, such as Petrópolis and Buzios. I would really appreciate to show you wonderful places here in Rio!
