Welcome!

I’m André, a filmmaker and luxury travel content creator. For the past 9 years I’ve been fortunate to travel the world creating content in some of the most beautiful places on earth. I fell in love with luxury hotels while directing a tv series about the world’s most amazing hotels for the largest network in South America, Globosat. Since directing the tv series “Hotéis Incríveis”, (Amazing Hotels), I started creating content for luxury hotels almost exclusively. Even though I’ve had the pleasure of working with every major luxury hotel brand in over 50 countries, I still get excited every time I check in.

I’m glad you’re here!
