About Emma
Oi, hey! I’m Emma, I have dual citizenship for Brazil and the USA, and I have been living in Rio since 2011 (with a brief pause in 2012 to study in Scotland for 9 months). I am in love with this city. I really feel as if I have found myself here, and I have already lived in a handful of other countries so I guess I’ve tried out a few places :) I was alphabetized in Spanish, spoke English growing up, learned some basic French in school, and learned to write in Portuguese when I was 18. I’ll be sharing bits and pieces of my world right here. I am in love with Brazilian culture, dance, music, and art. I started a blog for fun a couple of years ago, so if you want to check out my photography and tips on Rio click on the link below! https://simbora.co/
About Parque das Ruinas
If you love stunning views as much as I do, then Parque das Ruínas is a great stop! There are no lines, few tourists, and it is located on a quiet street in the beautiful neighborhood of Santa Teresa. The historic mansion was once an important meeting place for renowned artists of the early 20th century. Its structure has been preserved and it now serves as a cultural center for the city.
