Real Brazilians curating for you with care

We are two best friends from Belo Horizonte who share two major obsessions: traveling the world and obsessing over our incredible home country! We built this passion project for solo female and LGBTQIA+ travelers who want to dive headfirst into the real Brazil—without ever having to worry about safety, logistics, or feeling like an outsider.

Our mission? To take you way past the typical tourist traps and straight into authentic, unforgettable local immersion. Think hidden gems, vibrant culture, amazing food, incredible energy, and a whole lot of laughter along the way. Every single detail is thoughtfully planned so you can relax, let your guard down, and soak up every single second.

We can’t wait to show you exactly why we fall in love with Brazil over and over again every day—and we’re pretty confident you’re going to fall head over heels, too!

Ak

Anna Karla, aka Ak, is an adventurous otaku traveler who recently has taken a gap year (that lasted more than a year) to explore Brazil and Latin America with just a backpack and a dream: rest her body and soul after long years working a lot at un office job and immerse herself into all the other parts of Brazil and neighboring countries. She literally went to all states of our country and, after going with Dilly to Chile, traveled from there up America (yes, it is a continent not a country) until Mexico.

Ak is an energetic badass life of the party kind of person who is also very smart and loving. She is great for planning trips not only because she has done it for a long time (for herself and others) but also because of an out of the box perspective to mix fun, cultural experience, adventure in the nature, partying and laughter.

Dilly

Dilly is a very passionate traveller who has been to more than 40 countries around the world but if someone asks her what's her favorite country to travel to she will definitely answer Minas Gerais. Which is not even a country by the way, it is her state in Brazil, but for her it is as if it was. She has recently graduated from Viticulture and Oenology in Brazil and that's one of her huge passions: Brazilian wine, specially our sparkling wines, they are the best!

Dilly is also a badass woman who will try her best to make you live a true Brazilian taste experience with a lot of food, cheese, fruits, cachaça, beer, wine and other local beverages for those who like drinking. She is more of a cultural type so she is the perfect person to show you what is Brazilian cinema, music, literature and other types of art expressions from our very diverse country.
