Opening a Pousada: Check-in 3
I’m opening a connection-led pousada, or boutique inn, in Paraty, Brazil in the upcoming months. During this opening prep, I’ll be sending casual updates into the process, alongside some of my regular brand strategy dispatches.
Hi hi! Here’s another quick dispatch about progress on opening the pousada, this one from a very special recording studio: My childhood bedroom in Ohio!
I’m here for a quick 3 day visit, so we’ll keep this one fast and loose.
This week, I’ve been working on:
Ordering amenities aka shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. I move through this quickly but I’m realizing I could talk about all these topics for a good 20 minutes+ 😂
Progress on the visual identity and interiors
Finding a booking and reservations software
Confirming an accounting software (thrilling, I know!)
Finally upgrading my iPhone from an 8 to a 15… it’s a whole new world
This week is all about making progress while trying to soak up family time and survive 2 very long international travel days. Here’s a 5 minute check-in (com legendas em português):

If you want to support my work in another way, I do have paid subscriptions turned on. I’m not offering additional content at this time for paid subscribers, so it’s kind of like a tip jar. A completely optional tip jar 😊
