Erika Menardi
Olá! I’m Erika, an Italian travel designer based in Brazil, a place that quickly became home and still surprises me every day.
I like to keep travel simple and personal, taking care of the details so you can just enjoy the experience. My goal is to help you experience Brazil in a local and authentic way, and hopefully fall in love with it just like I did.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in travel across Brazil with a focus on nature and outdoor experiences. From places like Rio de Janeiro and Foz do Iguaçu to the Pantanal and more remote areas, I enjoy creating trips that go beyond the typical routes."
How did you get involved in travel?
"Travel has always been part of my life. Since I was young, I’ve moved around a lot, living in new places and constantly stepping out of my comfort zone. Over the years, I’ve had different experiences abroad through study, work, and even as a digital nomad.
Now I feel like I’ve truly found my place in the world of travel, where everything I enjoy naturally comes together. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"During my first trip to Brazily I discovered the peace of living by the sea. It’s something that really stayed with me and slowly changed the way I see everyday life.
Since then, I’ve always felt drawn to the ocean, trying to stay as close to it as possible. For me, travel is also about this, not just discovering new places and cultures, but discovering new parts of yourself along the way."
