About me

Hey! Welcome to Brazil! I'm a PhD researcher based in São Paulo with a passion for culture, people, and hidden gems. If you're visiting (or even living here and still feel like a stranger), I'd love to be your guide and company. I know the spots that don't show up on TripAdvisor — tiny bookshops, hole-in-the-wall restaurants, street shows, rooftop bars locals actually go to. Beyond the city, I'm a great listener and love deep conversations about society, culture, politics, and everyday life. My academic background means I can give you real context about Brazil — not just the tourist version. Whether you want a warm companion for dinner, someone to explore the city with, or just good conversation over coffee — I'm your person.

Food, Art & Honest Local Company

Skip the guidebook. I'm a PhD student who knows São Paulo's best-kept secrets — underground art spaces, family-run restaurants, viewpoints tourists never find. I'm also a great listener and love hearing about your world while showing you mine.
