About Joel
I'm a freelance journalist and contributor to more than a dozen Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¼´Ê±¿ª½± guidebooks. I've traveled to more than 60 countries and reported from five continents on a wide array of topics including travel, culture, language, environment, politics, technology, and business. While I was born in Canada, I now call Rio de Janeiro home.
