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 Feira de São Cristóvão
When I think of the famous Feira de São Cristóvão, nothing else comes to my mind other than florescent lighting, minishorts and high heels, family dinners, dangling dried fish, cachaça, accordions and musical triangles, pink strobe lights, and half of Rio de Janeiro all getting cozy under one tent. Go on a weekend night, get lost in the maze of small tents and shops, and belt out some karaoke.
