Federico Alessandri

Olá, dear travelers!
I’m Federico — born in Italy but shaped by the world. Travel has been part of my life since childhood, thanks to my parents. From my teenage years through my studies and professional life, I’ve never stopped exploring. I’ve visited over 55 countries and lived in cities like New York, London, and — the one that truly stole my heart — Rio de Janeiro.

I’ve worked in the travel and hospitality industry for many years, including cruises and bespoke travel design, and I’m truly passionate about helping others discover the soul of this incredible country.
I'm here to share my knowledge and experiences — so that you, too, can fall in love with Brazil the way I did.
Brazil is where I feel most alive. Its energy, diversity, and human warmth are simply unmatched. From the lush Amazon to the dreamlike dunes of the Lençóis Maranhenses, the vibrant rhythm of Salvador to the cosmopolitan charm of São Paulo, every corner of Brazil has something magical to offer.

How did you get involved in travel?

"Travel has been a part of me since I was a child, sparked by my parents and nurtured through every stage of life — from teenage adventures to university and a career in the travel industry. But no place has touched me as deeply as Brazil. What excites me most is not just visiting new places, but truly living in them — and Brazil, with its rich culture, warmth, and breathtaking diversity, has become my second home."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"It’s almost impossible to choose a single travel experience among the dozens and dozens I’ve had. I’ve collected unforgettable memories across the globe and lived such deep, enriching moments that picking just one feels unfair.
From the majestic fjords of Norway to the surreal landscapes of the Lençóis Maranhenses, and the breathtaking vastness of the Grand Canyon — how could anyone choose? But there’s something uniquely profound about Brazil that speaks directly to the heart that made me fell in love with this country.

We had an amazing trip to Brazil thanks to the KIMKIM. I worked with Federico to arrange all airport pickups and drop offs as well as guided tours for Rio, Iguazu Falls and Manaus.

We had an amazing trip to Brazil thanks to the KIMKIM. I worked with Federico to arrange all airport pickups and drop offs as well as guided tours for Rio, Iguazu Falls and Manaus. Our airport pickups and drop offs were timely, pleasant and all drivers helped with the luggage. All guides were excellent, spoke perfect English and were very knowledgeable on the surroundings, flora and fauna. Jacqueline was our guide in Rio. We had 1/2 day booked for our first day, then a full day tour for our second day. Jacqueline arrived on the first day and informed us that the weather was going to be bad the following so we should see Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf on our first day so that we could get good photos. She spent extra time with us Day 1 so that we could see the iconic city sights in the best light/weather. We really appreciated this. Also, she took us through the priority lines (age related) at Sugarloaf so we did not have to spend extra time in line.
On to Iguazu Falls and the amazing Jessica was our guide there. She was at the airport to greet us when we arrived, and she provided the most amazing service. Jessica was so informative on all the flora and fauna of Iguazu and also on the history of Brazil. It was such a pleasure to spend time with her. She escorted us to the Brazilian side of the falls on day 1 and to the Argentinian side on day 2. Everything went smoothly without a hitch. Jessica was such an excellent guide, she far exceeded our expectations.
On to Manaus and we had Edvaldo for our boat trip on the Amazon. Edvaldo was a great guide, he spoke perfect Engligh and was informative and entertaining. We could not have asked for a better experience.
Thank you KIMKIM for such an amazing experience. Your people are the best!!
