Born with a deep connection to vast landscapes and adventure, I have always been passionate about living experiences that go beyond the ordinary. Curiosity drove me to explore remote places, allowing me to discover Australia beyond its tourist highlights.
I had the chance to visit every region of the country, and I've found many hidden gems, from the iconic outback to endless coastlines, discovering step by step its true spirit. I believe every journey in Australia should honor Aboriginal culture, the land, and its ancestral heritage. I always prioritize mindful, respectful, and sustainable travel. I look forward to helping travelers discover this magnificent country!

6-day solo trip to Portugal
“It was great to have the whole trip planned for me as I'd never been to Portugal before. All I had to do was explain what I was looking to get from the 5 days and a rough idea of the areas I wanted to see. Goncales was very detailed and booked me on appropriate tours.”

18-day couple trip to Brazil & Argentina
“From the very first email enquiry to the last day of our holiday the service from Rough Guides was 100%. The itinerary planned was varied, there was no worry about logistics and every single guide and driver were extremely friendly and polite. We has a wonderful time exploring Argentina and Brazil. The time spent there was just not long enough, 2 and a half week. You need a month or more.”
