Hi, I’m Gabriel! What I love most about Rio is its unique energy - from the warmth of Cariocas and the rhythms of samba to the mix of mountains, beaches, and rainforest that make this city unlike anywhere else. For me, the beach is a way of life, whether it’s playing sports on the sand at Copacabana or watching the sunset at Ipanema. I also enjoy exploring Rio’s vibrant cultural scene, from samba rodas in Lapa to art galleries, museums, and theatre shows. On the nature side, hiking trails in Tijuca Forest or kayaking on the Lagoa are some of my favorite ways to enjoy the city’s green side. I know Rio’s neighborhoods well - from the South Zone to the bustling city center and the North Zone – and I love sharing the best food spots, cultural gems, and outdoor adventures that make Rio so unforgettable.
