Cristiano Nogueira

After living in Austria and Chicago for 17 years, and after graduating from communication design, Cristiano Nogueira stepped in the tourism area after seeing Rio de Janeiro´s potential as a travel destination. In 2003 he developed the award-winning travel guide "Rio For Partiers" and "Salvador For Partiers". His design background influenced his tendency to develop tools to help improve travellers' experience when visiting Brazil: his "Portuguese For Tourists" audio course is probably the fastest crash-course in portuguese, while his "Brazilian Cooking at Home" DVD introduces some of Brazil's favorite dishes to culinary aficionados around the world. He now works with local tour guides to develop travel guides for various destinations around the World, under the Guidelet Publishing company, which focuses on creating easy to read, highly visual travel guides.
