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 JoJo

Located at the back of the Botanical Gardens - I recommend spending the afternoon there, and leave through the other exit onto Rua Pacheco Leão to enjoy an early dinner or drinks. Make your way up the street about 10 minutes and you will see the restaurants on the right hand side. JoJo has great food and a cozy outdoor seating area!
