Being born and raised in the mid-west I moved to Florida in 1999 needing some cultural diversity. After meeting my husband, who is from Argentina, I realized how much of the world I was missing, and became fascinated with the idea of experiencing other cultures. Brazil Nuts has given me just that opportunity. I have recently returned from an eye-opening inspection trip to Rio de Janeiro, Parati, Salvador da Bahia and Praia do Forte. I am looking forward to sharing my impressions and experiences with prospective travelers and helping to make it a "once in a lifetime" experience for all.
Born in Recife (The Brazilian Venice) and living in Rio de Janeiro for many years now, John has a background in Business Administration and has been in the industry for several years. As a Brazil aficionado he has traveled around a lot, always going to places where natives go, learning and enjoying the music, culture and scenery, being Rio de Janeiro his favorite city, by far.
Kathy is now back in the travel industry (where she was a corporate travel agent in Chicago) after several years working in other endeavors here in Naples, Florida. She is a highly organized, detail oriented professional in the new position of Operations Executive for the FIT department of Brazil Nuts Tours. In this function she supports the front line sales agents in the "post sale" process, liaising with them and the suppliers to make sure all operations relating to the passengers file go smoothly. Kathy is well traveled and looking forward to future visit to South America
