Bristol Metropolitan

Josiane Carvalho

Josiane is responsible for bookings, events and marketing at Bristol Metropolitan. She thinks the best part of the week in her work is the "Bristol Wednesday". This is her first experience in the hotel business, but she has worked for an airline company before.

Josiane would love to work with adventure tourism and ecotourism because she enjoys having contact with nature. Her biggest dream is to open her own guesthouse in a ecoturistic destination, but she intends to get some experience first.

She likes going to places where she can spend some time with her son such as the Pampulha region, Guanabara Park and Ecological Park.

There two tips she would like to give to travellers:

- Go to Mangabeiras, at the Pope's Square there is one popcorn car where the person make customized popcorn and you can choose if you want cheese, bacon and other ingredients. Josiane says it is worth trying it and not a lot of people know about it.

-Another tip is to go to Mineirão Soccer Stadium and try the Tropeirão ( a typical "mineiro" dish with beans, sausage, hard fried bacon and manioc crumbs). That is definitely the only place where you will find this combination: good local food and soccer in the second biggest Brazilian stadium!
