► WHO AM I?
I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that, for so long, I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!
P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American, and he's actually camera-shy. That's why he's behind the camera most of the time 😉

Did you know much about Adelaide? All videos in Australia will be in this playlist: ruclips.net/video/2k--1eubJb4/видео.html - have fun!
Renata:Congratulations to you guys to heads Adelaide,Australia this weekend in great joy & peace after you guys spends weeks in Melbournes,Australia shooting great video in 2023❤❤❤
Thank you for this video. I visited Adelaide when I was 15 yrs old, stayed almost 3 months for surgeries. It was the place that opened my minds, how big, and beautiful the world is. I then pursued my education in the States, and have lived here for 25 years. My dream is to go back to Adelaide one day, I'd love to meet some of the nurses that took care of me, they were some of the nicest people I ever met in my life. So, thank you for this great video.
Thank you for sharing. I wish you get that chance to return and reconnect with some of you care givers.
So sorry that your reply has nothing to do with homelessness you know people living on streets, mother's from abusive relationship let's look at what Adelaide looks like on the outside and put aside the people struggling in our street and worry about 2pigs in Rundle mall and the 2 balls that our state cares more about that the people who are struggling.
@DiLee-xr1yc Sorry that you are going through that. All states have the same problem. I worked as a volunteer with homeless people for 3 years. Unfortunately, some are their own worst enemy. A lot of them rejected accommodation when offered and so on. Just in case you don't know, there are Charities that are paid by the State and Federal Government to help the homeless, and they get paid a lot to do so. So you need to go to the Charities to help you etc. The Adelaide Council might have a list.
I’m a local and proud to see this video. One of the statues you showed was a woman called Mary Lee (the one in the bonnet). South Australia was the second place in the world to give women the right to vote (New Zealand was the first) and she was a part of that movement.
Wasn't it the UK?
Thank you for sharing the information
@@joelc9439 uk women got the vote in 1928. In SA it was 1894.
Thanks for sharing
First in the world to elect a woman into parliament.
Adelaide looks peaceful and clean for people looking for a relaxing life. The weather looked good too. And you deserved that random pink rose!
It really is! Calma city with dry weather...it felt very much like California. So under rated...but probably best kept that way. Thanks for watching.
Adelaide is one of the top ten places in the world..
The weather in Adelaide is cool in winter and very hot in summer, and we have some of the best beaches in Australia!!
Yeah, I live in Adelaide and I can confirm that it’s very peaceful, especially in the morning.
I'm glad you enjoyed Adelaide. I moved here from Sydney over 30 years ago and although I still call Sydney home I love Adelaide. There is so much to do and see without having to travel great distances. From the centre of Adelaide 45min drive north you are in Australia's biggest and best wine districts. To the east 25 minutes drive your at the beach. And to the east into the hills you have so many sights and tourist towns to visit. Adelaide has it all.
Thank you very much. I suspect the charms won't be hidden for much longer. We have more Adelaide coming up. Love the Barossa region! Feels very much like California my former home. 👍😀
I'm from Adelaide. Thank you for this great video you did an excellent job in showcasing the city centre.
Very cool...thank you I really appreciate that. More Adelaide coming up. Keep the charm!!!! 👍😀
I am an Adelaide local and thoroughly loved your video, it's both fascinating and wonderful seeing through the eyes of tourist. So glad you enjoyed our wonderful city. Please come back and visit :)
Many thanks! I'm always happy to hear from locals. You have a great city and we will be back!
As an Asian and a gay person, I visited Adelaide for 1 week last year, exploring the culture and dating scene. I felt like people were mostly keeping to themselves. When I first entered a train, I didn't know how to make a payment for and validate a ticket. I was obviously confused, and nobody really cared til I asked someone for an instruction. He reluctantly helped and ignored me afterwards. Admittedly, I failed in securing a date or relationship. I like your profile picture. Would you be interested in getting to know me? 😅😅😅
I love this city. I find peaceful and happy life here.
Thank you for sharing.
Going to Adelaide in January for school for a few months. Can’t wait!!
Very cool. Hope you saw our other Adelaide video...and we have one coming out this weekend. Good luck with your studies
I've lived in Adelaide all my life and every time i travel to amazing places in their own right I'm reminded how great my home town is. I even learned a couple of things from your video so thanks for that 😊
That's awesome! Thank you for watching. Your city is really under rated.
My great great grandfather came to South Australia as a free settler in 1836 and he part owned the ship The Africaine. As a librarian I’m happy you visited the beautiful State Library 📚
What a cool story. so interesting, he must have traveled to a few places and choose S Australia to settle. Did he see figurative gold?
I hear a lot of good things about Adelaide. I think it's definitely worth a visit.
Totally agree. More Adelaide videos coming up.
Come in the warmer months though David as winter is a bit limiting. You can do Adelaide in two days so I'd venture over to kangaroo island or up to the Flinders or the wine regions if you're into wine.
Thanks for sharing
Obrigado Renata. I'm planning to travel to Adelaide next month and your video has been very helpful. You also have the most wonderful personality !
Awwww! Thank you so much! You made my day 😊😊😊
Always such a pleasure to go on a trip with you. Every experience is always different and I am always happy after the journey. : )
Wonderful! Thanks for watching 👍😀👍
Great video. Australia looks beautiful and you do a great job of capturing it.
Thank you very much! I appreciate that!
You guys done it again. Beautiful video. Keep smiling Renata.
Thank you! Will do! 👍😀
Well done! It is exciting to get so many tourists from all areas of the world exploring this wonderful city. Thank you :)
Thank you! Loved the visit and I know we will be back. Thanks for watching.
Thank you Renata! Great video!!!💖🤗
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching
Amazing video, thanks for making this ☺️
My pleasure 😊
Adelaide looks great, especially all of the parks around the centre. Feels like a very liveable city and great that it also has a free tramway like Melbourne. Very informative video, thank you!
You are most welcome. Yes, very livable and under rated.
Adelaide was no 3 at 2021 (no 1 in Australia) most liveable city in the world behind Auckland and Osaka. It is currently at 12, share with Perth, another great city in Western Australia.
The tram is only free in the CBD.
thank you so much for this video, it brings me back to the city, I studied here for over 4 years, I love this place
Very cool. Great city to learn in. Have you been back?
@@RenataPereiraTV nah
My hometown, you made me miss it more! Great showcase, if you have time next visit checkout the Central Market in the city , Beaches and Wineries.
Love this 🎉🎉 and welcome to Adelaide 💝💝
Thank you so much!! 😊
Adelaide Central Market is worth a visit, it`s in the city. Also you can take the tram from the city to Glenelg, a beach side suburb of Adelaide. 👍😊
Beautiful suggestions....keep watching 👍😀👍 more Adelaide coming up.
No tram there but Semaphore beach is gold.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Dude you don't have to be so pessimistic about Everything! relax and enjoy yourself mate... Renata you are truely a wonderful person :)
Maybe you are seeing it wrong?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Two of my favorite RUclipsr's. You guys together are so entertaining. Thanks for another informational video. Why couldn't my history teach have been this entertaining in school. I would have gotten an A. 🤭🤣😂

Loved this, I lived here for many years and now I remember why I missed it.
Very quaint city and with little recognition. I'm sure it will pick up now and not be overlooked.
Grande video Renata, muchos thanks: V
Love your chanel. Thanks for video 😍😍😍
Thank youuuuuuu and thanks for your support!😍
Im from Adelaide and I got to participate In a Theatre Festival, it’d normally be in Newcastle NSW but because of Covid in 2021, we stayed in Adelaide and recorded our piece in Victoria square!
Renata:I wish you guys safe journeys & good LUCK to you guys after you guys arrives in Adelaide, Australia great joy & peace for more new videos to come up in June of 2023❤❤❤
Great video, proud to live in Adelaide.
Thank you! You have a great city and I hope to get back to try more wine from the region.
Awesome video Renata 😊👍👍
Thank you 😁
Great video! I never knew Adelaide was a city!
Thank you. Yes, smaller but a very charming place. We have 2 more videos of the region...check them out.
From my own experience, people in Adelaide are reserved and not that friendly to others. I remember saying "Thank you. Have a good day!" to 2 women, one didn't care to respond, the other stared at me like I was dumb. It's hard to start a conversation while you're walking the streets.
To many germanics
Come to Perth most of us are Friendly, close to Bali, Malaysia, Thailand and Indla
thank you. i love my beautiful state and its beautiful city
You have a gem of city/state while the others get all the attention. I know we will be back.

My pleasure 😊 Thank you very much!
Hello friends.... I really enjoyed this video.... thank you for sharing this cool video
Thank you very much!!!
Perfect, i’m heading to Adelaide next year. Research, done!
Hi @thomas-australia can we pls connect through social media? I would want to learn more about Adelaide. I am looking to move here for my post graduation
@@vidhyasagar1684 hey i don’t know adelaide well i am Melbourne based
Algumas dicas pra vc melhorar ainda mais o seu inglês:
-Quando vc falar A LITTLE OVER imagine que tem um L na frente do OVER, então a pronúncia é A LITTLE LOVER (a lêralôuvar), o mesmo vale pra A LITTLE EARLY= A LITTLE LEARLY (a lêralârli)
-KNOWN tem o ditongo ÔU, então a pronúncia é NÔUN, não NÓN;
-INSIDE começa com o som ÊN, não com ĨN, então a pronúncia é ÊNSAID, não ĨNSAID.
Ótimo vídeo!!!
Two of my favorite RUclipsr's. You guys together are so entertaining. Thanks for another informational video. Why couldn't my history teach have been this entertaining in school. I would have gotten an A. 🤭🤣😂
HAHAHA, dare I say A+++. Thank you Walt for the support!
@@RenataPereiraTV lol, i graduated early. Tell my friend 🇨🇦 I said hello!
Gordon says hello!
I really miss these places 😍😔
such great views!
Great city for filming...thanks for watching!
@@RenataPereiraTV thank you njoy your weekend!
I'm from Sydney, I looks for this great vidio you did an excellent❤ job in show the City centre 🥰👍
Thank you so much 🤗 I really appreciate!
I am in Adelaide. Recently migrated from India....Awesome city
Great 👍 How did you choose the city?
Hello Renata, these are beautiful views from the plane! There are beautiful buildings in Adelaide, which I also like to film! Finally, since you have also become full. Thank you for taking it with you. Greetings to you - Dietmar 👍
Ps.: I published something new myself
Thank you very much!
Everything is so beautiful......what the locals want to hear!
Adelaide wasn't called 'The City of Churches' because it had so many, but rather because it was the capital city of the colony which guaranteed freedom of religious practice (principally the Lutherans from parts of Germany)
Thank you for sharing the information.
Oz’s best city ❤
HAHA, thanks for watching
I stayed at that hotel when I was in Adelaide. So easy to get around from there :)
Exactly, perfectly location. You enjoy Adelaide?
Renata:I am hoping new remarkable video is coming up this weekend from Adelaide, Australia to shows remarkable places or Landmarks in June of 2023❤❤❤
Thanks for the patience. Video coming up!
Thanks for the great video you did a fantastic job the way you showed Adelaide off. Did you know that South Australia was so much bigger it took up all the Northern Territories so South Australia was from the bottom of Australia all the way to the top of Australia which is a funny name to call a state that is at the top of Australia. (oh I forgot to ask is he always hungry?)
Thank you very much. wow, that would have been a very big state...and hard to cross protect.
Regarding always hungry...well we are out all day filming, capturing lots of images, so time slips by and before you know we...we have not taken the chance to eat. so yes, Gordon is a voracious eater when working.
@@RenataPereiraTV it must be great coming across so many wonderful smells of beautiful food. Next time that you're back in Melbourne make sure you see the sporting area of Melbourne it is unbelievable from The Tennis Centre home of The Australian Open to The Melbourne Cricket Ground (The MCG) the home of The 1956 Olympics
Thank you for the suggestion. Will definitely follow your suggestions.
So beautiful park 😊
It really is! Keep watching, I reveal more of the gardens
Super video. Best wishes...
Thank you very much
Thanks Renata 🙋
You're welcome 😊
Dam it, you're revealing our secret 😂
I know, sorry. That was our impression while Brisbane Perth and others get all the attention.
the change of street names was explained to me as ...nothing could cross the kings' path (ie King William Street) so they all changed their names eg franklin and flinders, rundle and Hinkley etc
Yes, thanks for sharing.
Actually the heritage buildings have got more to so with the fact SA was (and still is compared to other states) rather poor and a lot of these buildings sat empty and run down for years and years. When adelaide did start to develop 30 years ago the city council imposed very harsh restrictions on developers to restore facades and preserve as much as they could
Thank you for sharing. Would you say the preservation benefits the city?
I do love to see the history, gives it a lot of charm.
@@RenataPereiraTV absolutely, as a former South Australian resident in very very proud of everything adelaide does today haha. Absolutely beautiful but importantly LIVEABLE city! The protection attitude South Australians have for the buildings also extends to the parklands - touching those would mean loosing an election.
@@RenataPereiraTV there also some fantastic developments with the old and new blended together, so it’s proof that we don’t have to destroy these beautiful things AND we can get something new for the city.
Renata:I am hoping you guys are planning to visits Canberra,Sydney,Perth & Tasmania, Australia in the near future after visiting Adelaide, Australia in June & July of 2023❤❤❤
You did your homework.
You mentioned that it had freedom of religion.
Nearly everyone in Australia are unaware that this is the reason it's called the city of churches. Not for the fact for its generally pretty ordinary religious buildings.
Video nice thanks🎉❤
Thank you very much I appreciate
Lindo video Renata - Obrigado. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Obrigada!
Worlds biggest country town ( born and bred Adeladian here )
HAHA, good description. While the others get all the attention. Glad we visited...more Adelaide coming up
Haha, nice? Why specifically?
@@Noah2800 Everyone knows someone you know who knows you
Good vibes✌👍 Actually all the city of Australia is beautiful
I agree! Thanks for watching
Alice Springs is grim best avoided
Why not visit Alice Springs?
Renata:Happy belated Mother’s Day to you last Month or May & happy Father’s Day to your lovely husband (Mr. Gordon) today’s in Adelaide, Australia June of 2023❤❤❤
Hey Renata , is this video shot one recently ? Currently it is winter there , seems like summer
Good afternoon from Papua New Guinea. I enjoyed watching your contents.
Hello, thank you for watching.
@@RenataPereiraTV my friend thank you for responding to my comments.
I live in Adelaide, i have travelled around the world but i have to say Adelaide is one of the best cities in the world to live!!
Shhh, keep it a secret, you have a gem there! We think so too. 😀
One of my friends has moved to Adelaide from Sydney. I think I can see now why she did.
It may not have the recognition but it sure is a very comfortable city. We enjoyed it very much and almost overlooked it. And we missed so we will have to return. Would you consider moving there? Have you visited?
I suspect as the other Australian cities get bigger Adelaide will start looking more and more attractive.
I also had fun in Bangkok. I should consider watching your videos for recommended places.
I hope you do and can find what you are looking for. What destination would you like to see?
@@RenataPereiraTV Dreamworld in BK. But any places you two recommend are awesome. I'm sure the best travelling couple could pull it off.
Thank you for sharing. We have another reason to return to BK! Love it!
Video lindo como sempre. Mantendo o padrão. Parabéns!
Que bom, muito obrigada 🙏❤
i'm on a journey to learn English to study abroad in Australia
Australia.....i'll come soon 😍😍😍
I love Addy! ❤❤❤❤
Great smaller city...very relaxed. Do you live there?
2.55: No she didn't visit but more importantly the Beatles did in 1964 to their biggest crowd in the world. John Lennon talked about their reception here a few years later
Wow, very interesting fact. Bet they were surprised!
this is great, I live in Adelaide
You have a fantastic city. I know we will return to explore more of the region. Thanks for watching.
Renata:I wish you guys safe journeys & good LUCK to you guys always in peace for more new videos to come up soon in Adelaide, Australia in June & July of 2023❤❤❤

This one is one of the amazing video of my life ever seen thank you Mam for this Great video ❤❤❤
Wow, fantastic! I really appreciate your words and support.
@@RenataPereiraTV pleasure for me mam 🥰🥰🥰
A very beautiful city. Once Brisbane gets too big I want to move to Adelaide. And then when it gets too big I’ll go to Hobart 😅
HAHA, I understand. But won't you miss the weather moving to the cooler south?
Skip Adelaide and go straight to Hobart and then Adelaide won't get too big.
@@WiggaMachiavellithat's good for him and us😊
Welcome to Adelaide Renata & Husband, my son lives there. :)
Thank you! Very cool...school or work drew him to Adelaide? Have you visited him?
I'm revisiting you're interesting video of my home town.
You're a professional!
Thank you for at least this one thing,
you mentioned that old title of Adelaide being called the city of churches.
As one wit put it, "I think Rome might have something to say about that."
Then immediately pointed out the important fact that South Australia was the first colony that promoted freedom of religion.
It's unfortunate to think that many locals do not realise Adelaide's place in the history of freedom of expression.
One alternative explanation I heard for the label was that you could navigate your way home according to the churches between the pub and home.
The odd thing about this was that at the turn of the 20th century there was something like 99 pubs within the square mile (why not 100 I hear you asking?).
Some navigation was obviously required it seemed. Not.
Many of the old pubs, some of them very grand, very beautiful, were demolished in the 70's and 80's, but nonetheless you can recognise many of the repurposed buildings once you get your eye in.
Anyhow, thank you for your informative and entertaining vids.
Hi Renata. I live in Adelaide and thank you for showing our beautiful city.
Our pleasure! Loved our visit. More Adelaide coming up.
Most beautiful
Adelaide is the best city of Australia.
Curious, why you say that?
Cool
Thank you for watching!
Renata:Welcome to Adelaide, Australia this weekend in great joy & peace with your lovely husband (Mr. Gordon) in June of 2023❤❤❤I hope you guys really LOVE the streets,delicious foods & drinks @ these great restaurants in Adelaide, Australia 2023❤❤❤
Thank you
Last Friday around 1615, on the Mt Barker to Adelaide section of freeway, two enormous gum trees fell across the freeway. I was travelling in the other direction and witnessed the aftermath at 1630. There's not been a word of that on main stream media in South Australia. I'm hoping it's not because it was the first afternoon of school holidays and considered bad for tourism? Potentially horrific outcome. I'm concerned for the 50 odd vehicles crammed up against those trees. Ambos were on their way as I neared Barker. Be hard for them to get through from that end however. I smell a rat with the lack of coverage. There was nothing on any traffic sites.
