About me
Oi, Paula Nascimento Here!
Oi, Paula Nascimento here!
I am a Brazilian who dreamed of seeing the world, so at age 19 I packed my bags and moved to the United States to have my first experience in a foreign country. 20+ years later I find myself with passport stamps from close to 20 countries to date, a deep connection and understanding of what it is to live and experience a foreign culture, and a new passion: transforming people’s lives through travel.
I was once a traveler who was only checking places off a long list of dream destinations. Today, I chose to experience the world at ease, activating my five senses and savoring every place by mingling with the locals, tasting new flavors, exploring unfamiliar paths, and connecting with my destination and with those around me.
I call it “soul traveling”.
I believe travel is not one size fits all, and that there is a unique trip for everyone. For this reason, I dedicate myself into a business focused on your personal choices.
Be it by booking a cruise or vacation package of your dreams or by fully customizing your itinerary with the activities and experiences that match your travel style, tastes and needs, my main goal is simple.
To see you happy, traveling stress-free and experiencing the world the best way: YOUR WAY!
Testimonials
Thank you so much Paula!
I would like to thank Paula for all the advice she gave us on our dream trip to Paris! We had little time to get to know this beautiful city and Paula’s super personalized planning with great references to restaurants, unusual places and tours, and help with maps and transport made all the difference. Our trip was exacly as we wanted and her suggestion for the picnic by the Eifeel Tower for my now fiancee to propose made that special moment even more unforgettable!!!

I will use her for ALL of my future travel!
I recently went on a vacation and hiring Paula Nascimento was the best decision I could have possibly made. I was planning on spending 30 days in Europe, visiting 6 different countries along the way and staying in 11 different accommodations in order to visit all of the places on our wish list. I didn’t even know where to start when it came time to planning my trip. The first half of my trip was just me and my adult daughter. The second half my husband and young son came to join us. She listened to our vision for the trip and came up with an agenda that had the perfect mix of cities, museums, cathedrals, but also beaches, kayaks, and sunbathing. Every hotel or apartment that we stayed in was perfectly located, which was very important to me. I wanted to be able to walk most of the time, but to make sure we were in a safe neighborhood. She scheduled all of our various tours and activities, arranged all of our transfers from location to location, gave restaurant recommendations and tourist notes for each town we visited. Most impressive, was the fact that anytime I had a question, or had any minor hiccup in my plan, she was so responsive, even with an 8-hour time difference! Our month in Europe was phenomenal thanks to the hard work and incredible attention to detail that Paula provided. I will use her for ALL of my future travel!

She thought of all of the details
We love to travel but we didn’t have the time, experience and patience to plane a special trip so we hired Paula to help us. She thought of all of the details and we got to experience places we would never see if it wasn’t for her expertise. She even planned a picnic by the Eiffel Tower just as I requested for my proposal to my girlfriend. She said yes!
Thank you very much Paula!

Our trip was completly stress-free!
Paula planned my two last trips to Europe and I’m so glad I worked with her. She took care of everything and our trip was completly stress-free. I loved opening the Trello app every mornig to see the activities we had planned. She even provided self-guiding maps which made me and my husband feel more secure to travel alone. I can’t wait to plan my next trip!
Thank you Paula!
