About me
About me
I arrived in Lisbon in 2000, straight from Porto Alegre, Brasil. Living abroad was a dream I had since I was a child. First I thought of becoming a diplomat, and that's why I started the Law School. But soon I found out that diplomacy life was boring and then I gave up.
When I graduated in Law, I had to do something to not become a lawyer, so I came to Lisbon. Lisbon would not be my first choice, but it welcomed me so strongly since the very beginning that my roots here became thicker. So, although I am always travelling everywhere and always wishing to live anywhere else, I am always happy to come back to Lisbon.
Why Lisbon?
- It's not a big city compared to other European capitals, but here you can find endless things to do;
- The river, the castle and the hills;
- Everybody loves coming to Lisbon;
- I love touring my friends around the city, and never get tired of doing it!

Carmo Archaeological Museum
Heaven to Skies
The "Carmo Archaeological Museum", built at an old church that barely survived the 1755 earthquake, enchants me every time I visit. Open-air concerts, too!

O Prego da Peixaria
Burger invasion
"O Prego da Peixaria" in Lisbon is a restaurant that makes the definitive Portuguese version of the burger. It's a trendy place but I believe it's worth it

Monsanto Green Lane
Green path over Lisbon
The "Monsanto Green Lane" is Lisbon's 'green corridor' - walking or cycling over it has become a hobby of mine. A great way to see the city and exercise!

Bar Procópio
A known secret

The evolution of a restaurant

Aguas Livres Aqueduct
Walking into history
"Aguas Livres Aqueduct": one of the few great buildings in Lisbon that didn't collapse in the 1755 earthquake. Walking on it is an amazing experience.

L'Éclair
French guilty pleasures
"L'Éclair" in Lisbon is just another French patisserie with eclairs. I don't like eclairs - but the ones they make here I love. Crispy, dry and soft...
