► 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 😉

    Another sweet video Renata and Gordon. Windy Wellington can sure get very windy. I think it's one of the windiest cities in the world. You have been very lucky with the weather! When Wellington is still and sunny it's a different place. So beautiful. A common phrase for Wellingtonians is "you can't beat Welly on a good day." The waterfront walk is very nice and usually the fastest way to get from A to B too. You did well to catch the market too. And Te Papa is definitely worth a visit especially as it's free. Te Papa roughly means "our place." On the subject of the word Aotearoa it's being used more and more in place of New Zealand and the country is a bit split on that. Aotearoa was the name of the north island by some tribes so it's been adopted as the name for the whole country fairly recently. Legend has it that the voyager Kupe with his wife and crew discovered NZ and one of his wives exclaimed "look. Aotearoa!" which means a long white or shimmering cloud. So that's where it comes from. I feel so happy to see you both enjoying our country and doing the things I've also done. Can't wait to see the next one!
