Name: Felipe Garcia

Location (at the moment): São Bernardo do Campo - São Paulo, Brazil

What I love about being a Local Guide:
Being a Local Guide is my way of sharing the world :earth_africa: with others, especially those looking to explore and connect with places authentically and deeply. I love showcasing the hidden beauty of the places I know, helping travelers find unique experiences, and creating solutions to make those discoveries easier. When I got involved with tourism in Jericoacoara, I realized how small gestures – like helping a tourist find an amazing restaurant :plate_with_cutlery: or suggesting a secret trail :herb: – could completely transform a trip. Speaking English also broke a huge barrier for me, allowing me to learn more about myself by talking to tourists from all over the world :earth_americas:. Today, as part of the Local Guides community, I feel like I’m part of something bigger – a movement to explore, connect, and create memories for people everywhere. :sparkles:

My favorite thing to explore:
I love nature :seedling:, exotic places :desert_island:, and hearing stories. I enjoy hiking :hiking_boot:, immersing myself in nature, and meeting new cultures and people :earth_asia:. My favorite sport is also disc golf :flying_disc:, just like Andrew! :smile:

A fun fact about me:
My journey as a Local Guide began with a life-changing decision that redefined my purpose. I grew up in São Paulo, where I discovered my entrepreneurial spirit at a young age and started my own business :briefcase:. However, something always pulled me away from the city, toward nature and the unknown. That’s when I decided to leave everything behind and move with my dog :paw_prints: to Jericoacoara, a paradise in Ceará.

In Jeri, I discovered the powerful impact technology can have on tourism and local communities. I got to know everyone in the small village :houses: and began using my tech skills to help small businesses stand out in tourism: I created websites :computer:, implemented digital payment methods :credit_card:, made videos :movie_camera: to promote inns and tours, and even mapped locations :world_map: to make things easier for visitors. These experiences showed me that my purpose is to connect people and places using creativity and innovation.

Today, I combine my passion for mapping, technology, and tourism to help others explore the world through my lens. I create a company called Real Vision wich create interactive solutions, virtual tours, and Street View lines both inside and outside the Google platform using my 360° equipment :camera_flash:.
