Francesco Panachia
Hello everyone, fellow travelers!
My name is Francesco. I’m originally from Italy and I’m a passionate traveler who has explored many parts of the world. However, after discovering Brazil for the first time, I immediately felt a deep connection with this country.
That connection kept bringing me back again and again, until eventually I decided to buy a house here. Today I divide my time between Rio de Janeiro and trips back to Italy, but Brazil has truly become a second home for me.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"After many years traveling through Brazil first as a tourist and later living here as an expat, I now specialize in creating safe and well-planned itineraries that allow travelers to discover the very best of this incredible country without missing the must-see highlights.
From the vibrant energy of Rio de Janeiro to the wild beauty of the Amazon rainforest, and the cultural richness of Salvador, Brazil offers an extraordinary diversity of experiences. My goal is to help travelers explore it in the most authentic and enjoyable way possible."
How did you get involved in travel?
"Travel has always been one of my biggest passions. Over the years I have explored different continents, always driven by curiosity and the desire to discover new cultures and landscapes.
When I first arrived in Brazil, something immediately clicked. What started as a simple trip quickly turned into a deep bond with the country, its people and its atmosphere. Over time, that passion naturally evolved into helping others discover Brazil in the best possible way."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One of the most unforgettable experiences for me has been the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. During that period the entire country expresses its folklore, creativity and joy in the most spectacular way.
The colors, music and energy become even more intense, and the famous parade at the Sambadrome is one of the most impressive events I have ever seen and experienced. Being there, both as a spectator and participant in the celebrations, is something that truly stays with you forever."
