Today we’d like to introduce you to Valmir Menoncello.
Hi Valmir, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
We are Brazilians and always enjoyed international travels; sometimes we had to do it professionally too. So we considered ourselves a kind of experts.
Then, when my son was 17, my wife and I decided to send him to Canada for an interexchange program. At the end of the program he said he would like to finish his studies there, so, more trips to come – we had to visit him as much as possible in order not to cry every day!
My other job (I am head of an IT company) was making me travel frequently to US, especially Florida. So we thought: “why not?” – using this experience and try to be closer to him? Then, Procurando em Orlando was born.
Ever since we have been taking several trainings as well as continuous traveling with more focused approaches.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The main obstacles are our origin: we are Brazilians trying to reach not only Brazilians but citizens all over the world, and of course social media: we depend a lot of Instagram; but as it is in constant changing, we have to adapt all campaigns. Surely the “unprecedented moment ” has been a crucial factor while American borders are closed to international travelers.
As you know, we’re big fans of Procurando em Orlando. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Procurando em Orlando (“Searching in Orlando”, using free translation) We are a couple, content creators, travel planners and bloggers with offices both in Florida and São Paulo, where our travel agency is.
We travel around the world covering beautiful cities with its places to visit, restaurants, tourist attractions, hotels and etc.
Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
I´d rather to say: responsibility. Because we know that people save a lot of money and spend a lot of time planning their vacation. So we think there are a lot of risks involved every time you leave your house for a vacation break. You must trust people who are fulfilling you with information regarding the place you are going.
