Who is behind it

More than 24 years of field research.

Co-author of 18 travel guides about cities and regions of Brazil and around the world.
Over the past 24 years, Gazola has conducted field research in more than 1,200 municipalities across every Brazilian state and in around 40 countries.

He provided journalistic coverage of several United Nations climate conferences.
In 2014 he was co-host of the reality show Expedición RCN Brasil on the Colombian television network RCN. One of the great inspirations for the Nascentes da Crise project.
