Welcome, I’m Yvonne…

My love story with this beautiful city started back in 2012. When I first stepped foot on the beaches of Ipanema and swore that I would once live here. And I did. I moved to Rio in 2016 (just in time to volunteer for the Olympics). I moved around, fell in love with a carioca, adopted a (carioca) dog, got married, and got my permanent residency.

Today, I use my knowledge to help fellow travelers, just like you, explore Rio de Janeiro like a pro.
