I am a life-long world traveler of Scots' and German origin, who's come to (somewhat) settle in the "Marvelous City", Rio de Janeiro.
Since 1987 I've been permitted to accumulate expertise as a local tour guide, as well as tour-manager on round-trips of Brazil and/or Latin America; besides having acquired a quite extensive general know-how of the peculiarities of the South American ways of life.
In nearly three decades of service I've had the immense pleasure to host and aid a great number of - often more than just satisfied - clients of all 'peoples', ages, and genders. Among these are: cruise-ship travelers, business-travelers, individuals, families, groups of all sizes, specialized incentive groups, as well as scientific or journalistic research teams, etc., etc. . Please feel free to also browse my 'feedback' page for testimony.
Oh, yeah - before I forget: I 've been known to render very useful counsel, f. ex. with regard to accommodation in Rio and/or elsewhere in Brazil or even South America; tours and trips; excursions; 'surgical holidays'; where (and where not) to go; what (and what not) to do; and a host of other such regional advice ... with never any excessive concern for remuneration.
