► WHO AM I?
I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world… stuff that, for so long, I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!
P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American, and he’s actually camera-shy. That’s why he’s behind the camera most of the time 😉

Gee I haven’t been into the city for ages. I used to work in the city, in an office, loved it. As a child in the 1960’s dad used to take us to Vic Market to get fresh veggies every Saturday. Happy memories. I think I’ve been in all those streets and many of beautiful old buildings. Lovely memories of my childhood, working days and going into Melb city as a teenager to a movie or live show. Thanks for the memorable tour. Hope you both enjoyed yourself. 😊
Those trees have thwir own email addressws and they respond to your emails..
In Puerto Rico they have these houses like like a cave with steps and people live inside the dirt inside under the ground. My mom had told me that she lived in one of those houses under the ground when she was young when she was like 13 years old music, can you go to Puerto Rico and find those houses under the ground they still exist people live under their most of those houses are at the end of Puerto Rico. There is a city called Olney ghetto. If you say it in Spanish is not ghetto, is more like some kind of an ant, but say it in Spanish you will find those houses in that area under the ground they gotta have a history is very amazing. I want to know was that the houses first made for the slaves or were they may because of the hurricanes wouldn’t take the people I want to know I hope you find it interesting to find out.
Yes

As a lifetime Melburnian, I would never suggest Melbourne as a preferred destination in Australia – go to Sydney, it's much better Post Covid lockdowns (Melbourne being the longest locked down city in the western world), the state government and Melbourne's city council have done their best to kill the city – and they've succeeded beyond their wildest dreams and continue to do so. They want to put a free drug injection centre next to Flinders St railway station (Melbourne''s main suburban railway station) and if that happens, then you'll see a plethora of druggies, overdoses, etc. in the city centre – to add to the homeless, beggars etc who roam the streets. Melbourne these days – yuk!
Victoria wasn't a convict colony. Melbourne gaol didn't hold convicts.

Melbourne is a dump. Always will be.
Hello friend, looking forward to Sydney. One of favorite groups took an album cover there in front of the Library in 1983. I’m leaving tmrw for 9 days in Aruba.
I’m one of those that considers Ned Kelly as a true Australian that stood against crookedness in the law enforcement and political system..
Wages and prices are high here, so we don’t tip. My husband is from Toronto Canada and when he first came here he was impressed by getting 4 weeks vacation leave a year straight up, plus long service leave originally designed so the Brits could go back home by ship every decade or so. Loving your presentation, not only your knowledge but your upbeat attitude. Good onya!
I’m gonna be there next year🥳

The Eureka stockade is a pivotal moment to Australia's social and political landscape. Melbourne was a beneficiary to Australia's gold rush period as exemplified by much of the grand architecture but gold was not dug up in Melbourne city proper but in townships like Bendigo and Ballarat. Melbourne is also the spiritual capital of Australia , it was the original capital of Australia and where Federation was formed.
Melbourne is the largest city in Australia.
Gold was found in 1850, fifty-one years before "independence" or Federation in 1901. Ned Kelly was arrested in Glenrowan in rural Victoria. He was imprisoned and executed in the Old Melbourne Gaol. Also Ned Kelly was not the first person hanged inside a gaol. Indeed there were six public hangings in 1842 and 133 in the Old Melbourne Gaol.
My aunt lives in one of those Victorian townhouses. There's not many of them left unfortunately, there use to be more near Southern cross station but were pulled down to build new highrises. My aunt's house use to be my great aunt's and most of them are listed! 😍
Excellent production and packed with interesting factual historical information. And delivered with humour. Got to be one of the best travel blogs series on OZ. Looking forward to seeing more.❤
🤗Fun fact!!👍Bats( Flying Foxes)🦇were invading the 🇦🇺Botanical Garden’s so they played 🇦🇺AC/DC rock songs 🙏during the night for weeks,🫶to drive them away.💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Tipping really isn't a thing here in Australia because our minimum wage is much higher than in the US. You might consider tipping if you have a particularly good meal at an upscale restaurant, but that's all. Some casual cafès have a tip jar at the counter where you can put your small change, but it's not essential.
Nice my frend
Binondo, Manila's Chinatown, is the oldest of its kind in the world. More than 400 years since it was established, the district still continues to thrive. Derived from the Filipino word binundok (“mountainous”), Binondo was established in 1594 as a permanent settlement for Chinese-Catholic immigrants.
Excellent 👌
