Biography

I was born and bred in Brazil. However, by the time I finished my university studies I felt the urge to go in search of new perspectives. The possibility of living abroad, learning new languages and developing professional skills saw me landing in Spain and England, as well as sailing through the many oceans and seas while working on board cruise ships all over the world.  

By a stroke of destiny, I ended up in Strasbourg. The connection was immediate. The curiosity to learn about the history of Alsace led me to attend the Professional Tour Guide Licence at the University of Strasbourg.

Alsace is mainly known for its 5 C’s: cigogne, choucroute, cathedral, colombageand coiffe. I offer you my 3 C’s: culture, capture, casual.
