Hey there, traveler! I’m Michelle — a Brazilian soul with a passport full of stories, currently calling Paris home. 🇧🇷🇺🇸🇫🇷

I’ve spent the last 10 years living in the magical chaos of Paris, and before that, a decade soaking up life in the U.S. But no matter where I’m based, my heart has always been somewhere between an airport gate and a map full of pins.

I created this blog because I live and breathe travel. Over the years, I’ve explored the world in every way you can imagine:

Solo backpacking through Asia for months (yes, with a backpack way too big although it doesn’t look like it on this picture)

Adventure sports trips chasing snow for snowboarding and wind for kitesurfing

Trips with friends, family, and even with friends who brought their kids along

And, of course, those spontaneous “let’s just go!” getaways

If there’s a new dish to try, a hidden spot to discover, or a clever packing hack to make life easier on the road — I’m all in.
