Music, Travelling, Photography. 3 words to start describing myself. I´m very open minded, easy going, with a venturous spirit. I started travelling in 2009, after finishing my master's degree and leaving my job as a creative director in an advertising office I co-owned. Since then, I've been to more than 70 countries, sometimes working, sometimes just for leisure, going and coming back to my home country, Brazil. When I travel, I like to mix into people's daily routines, trying not to be just a visiting tourist and sharing as much as my language/communication skills allow me. Besides meeting nice people and getting to see different cultures, one of my greatest pleasures while travelling is to take the best pictures I can to save beautiful memories from everyplace with me. And I've been doing this for such a long time this has become one of my current work activities: taking pictures and writing about the places I visit. I have worked for travel guide publishers as a travel writer and as a photographer, among other jobs. You can see some of my photography work in my personal website www.heliodias.com.br and on my Instagram @heliodiasphotos I also like to play and make music (have good skills on guitar and percussion). Maybe that's my greatest passion, but unfortunately I can't bring my guitar with me... Most important: I've always got a smile on my face.

Одно удивительное, что я сделал
The most amazing is to have travelled a lot abroad, getting to know so many countries with different cultures, always learning something in each place I visit and from each person I meet. Unforgettable travel experiences: - visiting the old Jerusalem, the most fantastic place I've been so far - climbing the Mount Roraima in Venezuela - photographing the people and the colors of Peru and visiting Machu Picchu - travelling long distances by bicycle; - visiting the Canaima National Park and the huge Angel Falls in Venezuela - climbing up to 5.600 meters high in Bolivia - playing percussion with the Berbers in the Sahara desert - watching the power of the waters of the Iguazu Falls in Brazil/Argentina - suddenly seeing a shark a couple of meters away while scuba diving in Venezuela - visiting the isolated Keieteur Falls in Guyana - staying a couple of weeks in the real caribbean paradise of Los Roques - visiting Petra, in Jordan - hiking in the Sahara desert at night only lit by moonlight, climbing the highest dune and seeing nothing else but sand and stars - chilling out and partying at the crazy and beautiful thai beaches - meeting known people by chance in the most different places (the world is so small) - meeting all the good friends I made in my long stays in Buenos Aires, Praia do Forte, La Paz, Lima, Thailand and all over the world. Other amazing stuff I've done: being a musician, playing in bands, acting in a play, working as a travel writer/photographer.
