Hello, we're Hugo and Patricia and Gaia.
I (Hugo) am from Coimbra in Portugal and am 31 happy years lived. Since 2006 fortunately the west part of the world Became my house. 2006 was the year i first cam to Rio and fell in love with this city. That same year I moved again to Portugal, Then to the wonders of California in the emblematic city of Santa Barbara, Then a few stop in one of the Portuguese islands in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, Azores, and finally the french area of Switzerland , Lausanne. After 9 years, in the beginning of 2013 I moved back to Rio and since Then i made this city my new home for its people, its happiness, its music and relaxed way of living. It's not perfect but it is for sure one of the most perfect imperfections. For the record, I am an engineering teacher at the University and beach lover During free time.
Patricia is 27 Also from Coimbra and Rio lover as well. Though living just a few blocks from my house back in Portugal I first met her for her travels and experiences in Rio. She is an environment engineering and lived for the first time in Rio in 2010, an interchange student. After an unusual date in Coimbra she joined me in Rio.
Gaia is our little puppet. She is Portuguese and the sweetest thing. She flew the atlantic ocean to join us.
Together we will be more than glad to received travelers willing to experience the wonders of Rio and show Them why we love this city. We have recently moved to this pretty apartment que gathers perfect conditions to receive guests and Provide Them an privacy at the same interaction team. It is really up to you. The for us most of the times we like to chill out and share experiences.

About the Area
Copacabana and the carioca lifestyle confuse yourself. It is the oldest district of the south, full of movement, trade, restaurants, supermarkets, pubs, open acai juices and homes 24 hours a day. All this with the promenade and the beach two blocks away. Better just knowing that we are 5 minutes walk from Ipanema and Arpoador. It has the best of both worlds :)
