About Me

Hey there! I’m Carolina, but you can call me Carol.

I’m a senior producer, travel lover, and passionate Rio insider.

Since 2008, I’ve worked in executive production and event logistics across Brazil, managing everything behind the scenes, from music festivals and corporate events to luxury weddings and international artist tours.

I’m originally from São Paulo, but my heart belongs to Rio de Janeiro.

When the pandemic brought the events industry to a halt, I took the opportunity to study English, and it completely changed my life.

It connected me with incredible people from around the world, many of whom started asking for help navigating Brazil, planning their trips, and understanding our culture.

That’s how Better Call Carolina was born.

I combined years of experience managing complex logistics with my love for travel to create a personalized concierge and travel planning service for international visitors who want to experience the authentic side of Rio de Janeiro without compromising on comfort, safety, or style.

As someone who travels frequently myself, I’ve learned that the best vacations aren’t about seeing everything. They’re about discovering the places that match your personality, your pace, and the way you like to travel. That’s exactly how I plan every experience.

Today, I personally design every itinerary, coordinate every detail, and help my clients experience Rio with confidence and complete peace of mind.

Whether you’re visiting for Carnival, New Year’s Eve, a bachelor or bachelorette party, a romantic getaway, a family vacation, a solo adventure, a trip with friends, or simply to discover the very best of Rio, every experience is thoughtfully designed around you.

While Rio de Janeiro is my specialty, I also provide trusted travel planning and logistical support throughout Brazil through a carefully built network of local partners.

I don’t just plan trips.

I create the version of Rio that’s meant for you 🙂

I highly recommend Carolina to anyone in need of a professional and reliable party planner. Carolina helped me and my Dutch friends super good with finding the right kind of party for us (music, public and vibes that we like). I will not hesitate to ask for her advise in the future if I visit Rio again!

My first time in Rio, I met Carolina, and she instantly made me feel welcome in this beautiful city. She makes the best caipirinhas, gives the best party tips and helped me a lot with a refund for a party on the Sugar Loaf Mountain which was canceled due the weather and bad service. #1 planner in RIO for sure!

Carolina was one of my best discoveries in Rio! I was traveling alone and she connected me with some great people which contributed to making my trip an awesome one! Also she tremendously helped me with a rescue mission when I had food poisoning, gave me medicine, brought me to a hospital, did the translator and stayed by me during the whole situation! Plus she’s super cool and fun and knows all the best spots in Rio! Couldn’t recommend more!

Carolina is hands down the best in the business! Her knowledge of Rio and her attention to detail are second to none. She made my trip absolutely epic — from securing last-minute reservations to showing me the city’s hidden gems. Carolina, you’re a true legend!

I met Carol in Rio through common friends last December and it’s been a really awesome meeting: not only did I have a local sharing tips & recommendations with me but also and mostly I made a new friend! We’ve had a lot of fun together between beach time and crazy parties. Would definitely recommend her if you want to make your Rio stay safe & fun. Looking forward to see you again Carol!

I met Carolina in Rio, and it was the best thing that could have happened to me. She showed me many places I couldn’t find on the internet and arranged a fantastic experience in the Vidigal favela, which I will never forget… Without Carol, my holiday in Rio wouldn’t have been so beautiful.

Carolina is truly exceptional - both in her professionalism and her character. She goes above and beyond in her concierge business, delivering flawless service with a kind and compassionate approach. During my recent visit to Rio, she helped me navigate an unexpected emergency with such grace and efficiency that I felt completely supported. Her attention to detail, reliability, and warm personality make her an absolute gem. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Carolina showed us a great time and helped us with safety tips and fun excursions during the trip. She was an asset! She also helped translate and navigate our family trip in Rio and Búzios. Couldn’t recommend a better person! Thank you Carolina.

Carolina was incredible to work with! She planned an amazing bachelor trip for us in Brazil and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. The boat tour she organized was hands-down the highlight of the trip – great vibes, stunning scenery, and perfectly executed. From start to finish, she made the whole experience stress-free and unforgettable. Highly recommend her for anyone planning a bachelor party or group trip!

I discovered Carolina’s work on the Internet looking for suggestions for traveling to Brazil. My experience with her was most for the carnival period where I found her assistance very helpful. Furthermore she offers many other customized services. She is really an expert and I think she has the key door to support you exploring and fully enjoying your staying in Rio de Janeiro and the rest of the country, especially if it’s your first time in Brazil.

FAQ

What’s the difference between you and a travel agency?

I don’t sell pre-made packages.
Every client receives a tailor-made experience based on their vibe, group, goals, and expectations.
Think of me as your local fixer and travel designer, not a salesperson.

The sooner, the better, especially for high seasons (New Year’s, Carnival, summer months).
But I also handle last-minute requests when possible.

Yes, I’m available for my clients throughout their stay in Brazil, offering real-time support, recommendations, and problem-solving when needed.

Just send me a message via WhatsApp or email with your name, age, travel dates (if u already have it), and group size.
I’ll take care of the rest, from planning to execution.

Brazil is beautiful, but it can be overwhelming for first-time visitors.
That’s why I offer insider support, secure logistics, and trusted partners: so you can explore with confidence, comfort, and style.

While Rio is my main base, I also plan trips and offer support in other Brazilian destinations.

I’ll help you figure that out!
We’ll have a short chat to understand your style, goals, and budget, then I tailor everything for you.

100%. I work with inclusive, safe, and respectful partners for all types of travelers.

Perfect. I balance both: from rooftop champagne to hidden beaches only locals know.

Always. Your privacy and safety are non-negotiable.

I personally lead every project, but count on a reliable network of local professionals depending on the scale of each trip.
