We believe that travel is the most valuable life experience you can have! It is a universal journey that makes it possible to understand the world and ultimately oneself. Here at Green Roots Travel, we have a heartfelt desire to encourage others to take a break from the "rat-race" and re-nourish their spirits with an authentic and fascinating vacation.
We take care of all the details so you can enjoy in a short period what would take years for you to discover on your own. As our guest, we will maximize your time and enhance your experiences. If you are inspired by the love of exploring and discovering new cultures, you have come to the right place! After years of extensive research and countless trips to Brazil, we will share some remarkable and unforgettable destinations with you.
We know that travel to a foreign country is much more enjoyable with the help of a Cultural Ambassador to introduce you to the local people and customs. It's a great feeling to know you are in good hands and that your trip will be stress free! Having traveled extensively world-wide, our Travel Specialists have the experience required to plan a one of a kind vacation! Traveling with Green Roots Travel is having access to an experienced travel concierge.
Prior to following their passion and opening Green Roots Travel, Erika and Melanie ran an Event Management and Consulting business in the USA. They executed award winning events, for Fortune 500 companies. Their search for authentic travel experiences that were not mass-produced, was the catalyst for founding Green Roots Travel, a US based company with a permanent office in Brazil. From lounging in five star hotels to backpacking in the wilderness, our Green Roots Travel Team has done it all. We have what it takes to create inspiring and distinct travel experiences. Brazil is a massive and incredibly diverse country. There are so many choices and places to go.
But perhaps the best part about this dazzling and colorful land is the infectious happiness that emanates from the Brazilian people. You can feel the heartbeat of the country in the smiles of each person you meet! Through authentic experiences, Green Roots Travel tells the real stories of the Brazilian people and the country they call home. If done in a sustainable manner, travel benefits the local communities you visit, and leaves you with a greater understanding of the culture and its people.
Erika's roots began at the architecturally futuristic capital of Brazil, Brasilia. One of the first generations to grow up in the planned city, she came to the USA with her family as a teenager. After bringing many friends to Brazil she decided it was time to share her country with others too!
A passionate Cultural Ambassador, she loves to rave about Brazil and wants to share all its wonders with you. A self-professed "foodie", Erika has a weakness for trying diverse cuisine and knows all the best restaurants in Brazil.
A native of Florida, Melanie's travel roots began with vacations in the family RV across North America and Europe. Her travels have taken her to over 30 countries in five continents and she is always craving more. Eight years ago she visited Brazil and instantly fell in love.
Since then she has lived in Brazil off and on and cannot seem to get enough! She is a budding photographer and travel writer. Melanie is happiest with her toes in the sand on the endless beaches in Brazil.
