About me

I'm a Brazilian journalist who has been living in the U.S. for more than 15 years. I've called Chicago and Los Angeles home, and for the past five years, Miami — often described as the vibrant capital of Latin America — has been my backyard. I know this city by heart and love helping others discover it in a real, personal, and culturally rich way. Some of the areas I know best include South Beach, Wynwood, the Design District, Brickell, Sunny Isles Beach, Hollywood Beach, and Fort Lauderdale. I'm passionate about travel, history, visual arts, hospitality, and emerging trends. I’m always exploring — from live music and local cafés to neighborhood restaurants, art galleries, museums, sports events, farmers markets, and community gatherings. Not just the hype spots, but also the hidden gems and authentic everyday experiences. I speak fluent English and Portuguese. As a Local Friend, my goal is to offer genuine companionship and engaging conversations while exploring both iconic places and up-and-coming neighborhoods that truly capture Miami’s spirit.

Miami: From Landmarks to Hidden Corners

A Local Day with me includes a mix of Miami’s classic, must-see landmarks and the hidden corners only locals know — from street food stalls and indie coffee shops to tropical urban hikes, vintage markets, and art-filled alleys. Expect good Latin beats in the background, inspiring galleries, local stories, and flavors you won’t find in any guidebook.
