► WHO AM I?

I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that, for so long, I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!

P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American, and he's actually camera-shy. That's why he's behind the camera most of the time 😉

    I am moving to Melbourne next year and seeing your video makes me want to move NOW😂 What a really great and fun video, Renata!❤🎉
  • Hi guys. Nice pick up about the 8 hour day movement starting in Melbourne. A few other things. As I understand it the 'little' streets were originally intended more as service lanes for the main streets. And 2 things I haven't seen any travel bloggers mention about Melbourne. The Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens are a world heritage site. You were also about 100m away from the birthplace of St Mary MacKillop (born 1842 I think).
  • @LaneBurdett
    I love your work!!!! I've lived in Melbourne for most of my life, born and raised in Victoria and I love that you have told us so much about our city and it's history and the way which you've brought it to life! I'll be watching this with my daughter as these are by far the best videos I've seen on Melbourne Victoria. ❤ thank you.
  • @DeniasSusanto
    really love every side of Melbourne, Melbourne is a remarkable city in Australia
  • @stussysinglet
    You have done a great job showcasing the city centre.. The little streets are pretty cool and unique… Collins st combined with the two little streets on either side (Little Collins and Flinders Lane) contain much of Melbourne’s best architecture along with many of the best cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques. it’s worth any visitor walking the full length of each of these streets.
  • @mrm754

    Awesome video! Love the optimism and joy you have in these videos and the places you visit are very interesting.
  • @jurrassitol15
    In Australia, tipping is not compulsory…usually you tip if you think the service is good 😊 besides the credit card surcharge, there’s sometimes a weekend or a public holiday surcharge…something to keep an eye on especially if you’re on a budget! Loving the videos so far! Cant wait to see what else you get up to!
  • @awaleahmed8698

  • Wages and prices are high here, so we don’t tip. My husband is from Toronto Canada and when he first came here he was impressed by getting 4 weeks vacation leave a year straight up, plus long service leave originally designed so the Brits could go back home by ship every decade or so. Loving your presentation, not only your knowledge but your upbeat attitude. Good onya!
