I love traveling and from early age I started to dream about my adventure around the world; London, Paris, New York, Scotland, Greece...
Glencoe, Scotland 2022.
Monthly and for many years, my mother bought a magazine called Claudia. Undoubtedly, I used to read it from cover to cover and one of my favourite articles were on the 'travel' session. I never left one article behind. There were too many places to see, the admirable Empire State, Chrysler building, Glencoe in Scotland, the Grand Canyon, the blue domes of Santorini, the Eiffel Tower. Reading the articles from those magazine pages were my way of travelling the world. But according to Saint Augustine, I was only reading one page of the magazine.
“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.”
Saint Augustine
That was only the beginning of so many trips I was dreaming for. I was inspired by the stories of the people that have dared to travel alone. The pictures of the places were like magnets, I was always astonished by those magnificent views. I just knew that I knew, one day it would be my turn to travel the world. I would be there, right there.
The first flight was from Londrina Paraná state, to Recife the capital of Pernambuco state in Brazil. I could explore the Brazilian history of Portuguese and Dutch colonisation through the most popular Boa Viagem beach, the old town of Recife, the colourful houses, the Marco Zero. Furthermore, the Trans-Amazonian highway runs through Amazon Forest to Paraíba state, where I had an opportunity to visit for a day.
It is my pleasure to share my photos and the amazing adventures I have lived in so many different countries. In fact, it is not only about buildings and being a tourist. Moreover, it is about the essence of the people I have met in my journeys, since my life line started in Ipaussu, São Paulo state, Brazil 1962.
This is the digital era through countless innovations our society is facing everyday and I am living in. The new technologies are increasingly facilitating the way we communicate with each other while more and rapid knowledge is requested to explore the world.
