  • Description

    Hi, nice to meet you, we are Mariana and Lucas.

    I'm Mariana, 30 years old, Italo-Brazilian. I spent my childhood in Brazil and moved to Italy when I was 12. These two countries are both home to me. I also lived one year in Beijing, China. This cultural background has always inspired me to learn more about other cultures.

    I'm a holistic therapist. Alongside Lucas — who is also a therapist — we're starting a new chapter as conscious nomads.
    I love taking photos and editing simple videos. I love dancing — salsa, bachata — and yoga is a way of living that deeply resonates with me. Lucas and I also practiced acroyoga together, and we loved it.

    Hi, I'm Lucas, I'm 34 years old and was born in Brazil. Since I was a child, I've been passionate about foreign languages, different cultures, and living adventurous experiences around the world. I had the opportunity to study for a year in Switzerland, where I connected with people from all over the world, learned about their stories, customs, and knowledge, and shared a bit of my own journey. I also lived in Italy for a while with Mariana.

    Today, I'm a holistic therapist focused on masculine identity and healthy relationships, and I'm beginning to share my knowledge on social media. I would feel truly fulfilled to have the chance to share what I’ve learned in the places I visit — whether through talks, workshops, or simple, meaningful conversations with the people I meet along the way. I love engaging in thoughtful conversations about philosophy and spirituality.
    I’m passionate about extreme sports and dance. Recently, I discovered a new hobby: brewing coffee.

    We're looking for experiences that go beyond traditional tourism. We want to truly live the cultures we encounter — to connect with open-minded people, dive into the roots of each place, and contribute with what we have to offer: presence, dedication, and a genuine desire to be of service.
    If your project has soul and purpose, we'd love to be part of it.

  • More details about your skills

    Mariana:
    I have a degree in Oriental Language and Culture with a focus on Mandarin and Eastern culture. During my studies, I lived for a year in Beijing, where I taught English to children and had the privilege of living with local families — an experience that deepened my love for cultural diversity and human connection.

    I'm also a holistic therapist, starting a new chapter as conscious nomad.
    I've worked as a social media manager, and now I create content for my own platform, sharing videos that promote self-awareness and emotional healing in a simple, accessible way.

    I speak Portuguese and Italian as native languages, fluent English, and intermediate Mandarin Chinese.


    Lucas:
    I have a background in digital marketing, with a focus on copywriting and digital product launches — a field in which I’ve worked professionally. Who knows, maybe I can help you with that too?

    I'm also a graduate in International Relations and worked in the Brazilian government in a leadership position, heading a State Secretariat. That experience allowed me to deepen my skills in people management and diplomacy, with regular contact with foreign diplomats and ambassadors.

    I’ve also worked professionally as a host, which helped me develop strong communication skills.

    I'm fluent in Portuguese, English, and German, and have intermediate knowledge of Spanish and Italian.

    For six months, I taught children in a social project focused on humanities, aiming to teach global values such as citizenship, human rights, environmental awareness, and English.
