About
The blog Malas & Milhas is a travel and tourism tips website that was born in 2015, founded by Stephanie Bueno and Rafinha Soares, with the aim of talking about the world of travel, giving tips and sharing our experiences traveling around Brazil and the world.
What began as a personal travel diary, today seeks to become a reference for those looking for authentic itineraries, travel tips on a budget, and who want to discover new places and people.
Behind Malas & Milhas’ articles, itineraries and tips are:
- Stephanie Bueno: Writer by passion and profession (as well as content strategist, storytelling and copywriter), with published books (such as “Before Saying Goodbye” and “In the Silence of Your Eyes”) and studied Literature at UFRJ (currently studying Journalism). Sté is passionate about books, animals and, of course, seeing the world. At Malas & Milhas, she uses her writing to transform each destination into an engaging narrative, connecting readers to the emotions and unique details of each trip.
- Rafinha Soares: Content strategist and SEO and Copywriting specialist with over 13 years of experience in the digital market. Founder of Agência Pepper, Rafinha brings his analytical and creative expertise to the blog. In addition to giving some tips about travel, he is the one who ensures that our itineraries, spreadsheets and practical tips reach you in a clear, organized way and focused on what really matters, which is making you travel more, better and spending less.

At Malas & Milhas, we specialize in creating detailed content about itineraries around Brazil and the world, guides for traveling while spending less, and reviews honest reviews of hotels, airlines and tourism services in general.
All tips and reviews published on Malas & Milhas are based on our real experiences (or those of our travel partners).
