About Me
Hi, I'm Carla!

I'm a travel writer and photographer based in Rio de Janeiro. My goal is to inspire you to travel as much as you can and as far as you can, as I truly believe there is nothing more rewarding — physically, spiritually, mentally — than experiencing the way others live on opposite sides of the world.

Welcome July 🫶🏼 Just two months until I’m Welcome July 🫶🏼

Just two months until I’m off to Europe for the first time since the pandemic started, and I couldn’t be more grateful 🥹 In the meantime, I’ll be soaking up this beautifully chaotic city whose views constantly leave me “😧” and whose vibrant, carefree lifestyle brings me so much comfort while it seems like so much of the world (at least back home) is falling apart 🙏🏼

There are so many new faces around here 🤩And I’m getting this question a lot: HOW do you travel so much?

👉🏼 First, let me start with some background: I graduated with a journalism degree in 2015 and went straight into my career. I was a real estate reporter in Miami when I started planning a world backpacking trip with my boyfriend.

👉🏼 We planned and saved for two years and in 2017, we left for a yearlong trip through Europe, South America and Southeast Asia. During that trip, I started this Instagram and a travel blog to document our journey.

👉🏼 I started working with brands and hotels toward the end of our trip. We had grown a decent 10K following by then. But the trip came to an end. Our travel money was running out and it was time to come back to reality!

👉🏼 In 2018, we moved to NYC and I instantly began working as a restaurant reporter for a really cool food media company. But a few months in I was desperately missing the freedom I felt on our trip (I know, who wouldn’t?) I began to feel that the traditional 9-to-5 life wasn’t for me. So I continued building my travel brand. I was working tirelessly on my blog, bettering my photography, learning how to negotiate brand deals, networking in the industry, all while working as a full-time reporter. It was a lot!!! But honestly it was so much fun.

👉🏼 In 2019, I left my job to go into travel blogging full time.

👉🏼 4 months later, the pandemic hit. Lol. GREAT TIMING.

👉🏼 I went into survival mode and sent over a dozen emails a day to get freelance work, brand opportunities, anything that would help me not go through my savings completely.

👉🏼 My boyfriend had already expressed a desire to return to his hometown — Rio de Janeiro. My family is Brazilian but I had never lived in Brazil. With the pandemic curbing travel, moving to a new country felt like a way to reinvent myself. 

👉🏼 In October 2020, we moved to Brazil. It was the most difficult transition I’ve ever gone through, but I’m finally starting to feel at home. I’ve been traveling locally and nationally since moving here! Welcome to the journey! 🌿

Buzios 🌴🌞

You’ll find rocky beaches with turquoise waters and lots of sea life 🐢🐠 and a lively city center lined with chic waterfront restaurants, lounges and boutiques.

This was Praia Azedinha, a crystal clear, calm-watered cove that we had to ourselves at 7 am. 🌴
