Nice to meet you — I’m Simba. But it didn’t start that way.

​

“Simba” was never the plan. It was a nickname people gave me because my real name, Simval, was hard to pronounce. But behind that name is someone who refused to live a predictable life. Everything changed in 2017, when I left my hometown in Brazil for my first international trip — Argentina. That’s when something clicked. It wasn’t just about traveling. It was about freedom. About breaking out of the bubble. About realizing the world was bigger than anything I had ever known — and that I could never go back to being the same person again. And once you feel that… there’s no turning back.

​

I went back home, but I no longer fit that old version of myself. So I made a decision: Chile to learn Spanish, then Australia to learn English — and that’s where the real journey began. I started from zero. I worked whatever it took: cleaning, kitchens, hospitality, markets, driving, childcare. I failed, I adapted, I rebuilt. I found purpose in teaching swimming, growth in driving Uber, discipline in routine — and freedom in movement. While the world stood still during the pandemic, I kept moving. I explored Australia from end to end, then the world — Asia, Europe, the Americas. And I realized something powerful: this was never tourism. This was transformation. Every trip wasn’t just a destination — it was a new version of me being born.

​

Then people started asking: “How do you do this? Can I come with you?”
And in 2026, everything shifted.

​

Lets Go Simba was born — not as a brand, but as a movement. A call to live differently. I don’t sell trips. I create life-changing experiences. I connect strangers who become stories. I take you to places that aren’t just on the map — they’re inside you. Because traveling with me isn’t about seeing the world… it’s about rediscovering yourself in it.

​

If you feel like your life could be more… maybe it’s time to actually live it.

Let’s go...
