My name is Helio de Andrea, I’m 62, married and have two children. I work with videos for TV and advertising. I’m “carioca da gema”. Well, let me explain, carioca is the one born in the city of Rio de Janeiro, with parents born in other cities. “Carioca da gema”, like me, are born here and are children of parents who were also born in Rio. You get the idea? So let’s move on.
Being a carioca is a state of mind.
Live in a photogenic city with a peculiar topography, with amazing beaches and a forest with trails and waterfalls, right next to home leaves the Carioca a little more “Zen” … more peaceful.
One of the characteristics of the people here is receptivity. Carioca loves receiving people, talk. And if he do not speak the same language, carioca tries hard to understand and communicate.
By love for this city, I decided to write about it. My passion. Tease out every bit of it and help many people to better enjoy your stay here in Rio de Janeiro.
Enjoy this space.
