25 years of getting this right, and wrong, and right again

Aaron, founder of Nodum Travel

I'm Aaron. I've worked in tourism for 25 years: as a tour escort guide, inside a major tour operator supporting travel agencies, as a partner in a travel agency, and from 2014 to 2021 as a franchise owner of CVC, one of Brazil's best-known travel companies. I've planned and sold many trips, and I've learned what makes a trip go smoothly, and what doesn't. Brazil is where I know the most; Bonito and Foz do Iguaçu best of all.

Nodum Travel exists because most travel advice online is either a brochure or an outdated forum post. I wanted to put what I actually know from inside the travel business — how a route, the stays and the transfers fit together, and the logistics nobody explains clearly — into a plan made for you. Nodum has Brazilian roots and plans trips to any destination; Brazil is where our written guides are.

I don't book your trip for you. I build the plan; you keep full control of every reservation and every payment. That's on purpose — it's how I keep this focused on giving you the best possible plan, not on selling you something. Nodum Travel is an independent project and is not affiliated with CVC or any other travel company.

Off the clock, I'm a triathlete: I have raced Ironman 70.3 and Challenge half-distance events in Brazil. Early starts and tight logistics are part of my routine, and I bring the same care to your plan.
