A Little Guy Adventure: Amplifying Afro-Brazilian Arts of Bahia, Brazil!
December 7th-16th 2026
$1200 USD
This trip is not just about experiencing Brazil,
it’s learning from the people and culture within it.
Join us on a 10 day Little Guy Adventure through Bahia, Brazil, where we will be traveling down the coast from Salvador, to Itacare, ending in Serra Grande! We will be working with local artists to learn about artisanship, train in Capoeira on the beach, and connect with nature, spirituality, and natural medicine of the local community!
Afro Brazilian culture, arts, and history aren’t only something to learn, but something to learn from. The artists we are working with are artists we first met as travelers, who gave us a place to stay and shared their art and stories with us.
That’s where you come in -->
The artists don’t have a stable source of income, nor a platform to share their stories. Along with learning from them, we will be providing financial stability for these artists and working on a media project to amplify their voices!
