My name is Heloisa, I was born and live in Rio now.

I love to travel abroad or in Brasil and have always a ready itinerary for the places I want to go even if I cannot afford them for the moment.

I prefer buses,trains, cars or boats instead of flying to get around; I think you see more in that way than taking planes and is cheaper most of the times.

I love to get regular transports, to make what local people do ( that's the meaning of my moto, if you are in Rome do what romans do ) and mingle with locals, but I go to tourist places too.

I like to go to places people usually go on weekends ( parks for example ) and eat things I see people eating in the street or in restaurants.

I also like hiking and nature, so I try to put some hiking and nature in my trips.
In Brasil I like to join organized ecotourism tours in holidays, they provide everything you need and people you meet are in general very nice.

I've seen some of your posts in the forums. I'll have to read some of your pages on Brazil since I'll be moving there for a year assignment starting next month.

You mentioned that there was a bus from Puerto Montt to Bariloche. Is it as scenic as crossing the lakes by ferry? Or, at least, does it give you an idea of the lake district? Thank you.
