👩🏽‍🤝‍👩🏾 Your Hosts - Nay & Liv

 💁🏾‍♀️ I'm Nay,  you might have seen my Brazil content go viral on TikTok last year (yes, I was part of the PR 😉) I spent a month exploring different parts of Brazil and had a truly life-changing experience. After being flooded with messages from people wanting to experience Brazil the way I did, I knew I had to make this trip happen. As a meticulous planner and researcher, I’ve helped thousands of people book their own trips with my content. Now, I’m bringing that knowledge straight to you, curating an itinerary that blends Rio’s vibrant culture, local experiences, and, of course, dedicated time to capture amazing content.


🙋🏽‍♀️ Liv is a pro at group travel, having spent the past year and a half exploring Africa, Asia, and the Americas, and she has a gift for making everyone feel at ease. She’s also amazing at capturing those natural, candid moments that make for the best memories. 


🌞 Together, we will take you on this unforgettable experience - we’ve been best friends for 15 years, and our dynamic is the perfect mix of fun, adventure and, wholesome moments.


✈️ Between my knowledge of tourism in Brazil and content expertise, and Liv’s ability to bring people together, capture moments and navigate group trips effortlessly, we’ve got you covered!
