Hi, I’m Danilo! What I love most about Rio is its stunning landscapes, friendly people, and the vibrant variety of environments - from bustling bars and restaurants to peaceful neighborhoods. I enjoy moving around the city, whether exploring the busy center, relaxing in Copacabana or Barra, or hanging out in my own Northern neighborhood, which offers a unique, less touristy vibe. I love stopping for coffee, sightseeing, and visiting local markets to connect with both locals and visitors. I’m an expert in navigating Rio’s Zona Sul, Barra, and city center, and I’m here to help you find the best spots and get around with ease.
