Fernanda Machado

I learned that life is lighter when we put a backpack on our back along with dreams. I love to travel! I'm 34 years old, mother of 3 dogs: Pantufa, Mutley and Mixuruca. We share our experiences here, we hope you like it!

International Qualification. It's needed?

Many people have asked me if it is necessary to obtain an International Driver's License or PID in order to rent a car and drive abroad. The answer is always the same – No need! In no country in the world will you be required to have an International Habilitation. All you need is a National Driver's License to drive 😉 […]

I lost my passport. And now?

Losing documents, especially your passport during an international trip, is one of the most annoying things, because without a passport, you will not be able to continue your trip. So, if this happens, look for the nearest police station and file a police report. With this document in hand, go to the Brazilian embassy or consulate and also present your […]

Places to enjoy winter in Brazil

Winter is coming here in Brazil, and this post will make those who love this season want to pack their bags. It is true that, apart from the possible frosts that we have in the south of the country, you will not find snow in Brazil. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy other natural pleasures […]

universal plug adapter

For those who travel a lot (me!), for leisure or work (me!), it is essential to have a universal plug adapter. Do you know why? Every place you go has a different type of plug and you have laptop and chargers with different nozzles as well. So how are you going to carry them if they don't fit the […]

Are you going to travel? Zip lock in luggage!

Ziploc are those little plastic bags of various sizes with pressure closure. They are great to use while traveling. Me, I love using them. Keep everything well organized. I always use one to put each document (passport, hotel reservation, tickets…) in a small size. Sometimes I like to buy them in a larger size to […]

inflatable neck pillow

That's right! Having an inflatable neck pillow while traveling is a must for comfort. Nothing worse than wanting to take a nap and not having anything to support your neck! It is super cheap and has several models and colors. There are some that are not inflatable: they have countless types of comfortable materials. […]

Breakfast at Parque Lage | Rio de Janeiro

We always heard that breakfast at Parque Lage was one of the most popular in Rio de Janeiro. So, on our last day in the city, we woke up very early and went to see the place. Breakfast takes place on the veranda of an early 20th-century mansion, which houses the School of […]

Liberdade neighborhood in Sao Paulo

I couldn't miss visiting the Bairro da Liberdade in São Paulo. I am in love with Japanese culture! This neighborhood is one of the greatest strongholds of Japanese culture in Brazil! ;) The lights in the neighborhood put on a show of their own! And the newspapers? Bingo! In Japanese too 😉 Architecture, gastronomy, culture, shops… Everything Japanese! An apprenticeship to […]
