Moving to Brazil was the leap of faith that turned my world upside down (in the best way possible!). I quickly learned that this country is more than its postcard-perfect beaches and iconic Christ the Redeemer statue.
Brazil pulses with life – from the boisterous markets filled with tropical fruits I couldn’t even name at first, to the spontaneous street parties that seem to erupt with the tap of a drum.
It’s a place where the warmth of the people rivals the temperature, and life takes on a slower, more joyful pace.
Destinations Uncovered: Brazil is massive – think larger than continental Europe – so there’s always somewhere new to explore. From the world-famous sands of Copacabana to hidden jungle lodges deep in the Amazon, I’ll share detailed guides that take you beyond the usual tourist spots. Find out where to sip coffee in São Paulo like a local or how to hike to the breathtaking peaks of Chapada Diamantina.
Travel Tips & Hacks: Living as an expat has taught me a thing or two about navigating Brazil’s unique quirks and charms. Want to avoid the usual tourist traps? Looking for the best way to stay connected in remote places? Wondering how to blend in during Carnival? I’ve got you covered with practical tips, budget hacks, and insights that only a British expat could provide.
Cultural Insights: Did you know that Brazilian Portuguese has words that don’t even exist in English? (Try explaining saudade to a Brit – it’s not easy!). Or that pão de queijo is so much more than just cheese bread? Learn about Brazilian customs, try authentic recipes, and discover the country’s rich mix of Indigenous, African, and European traditions that make it so unique.

Join me as I share stories, mishaps, and triumphs that highlight everything this incredible country has to offer.
Travel isn’t just about ticking boxes or collecting stamps in a passport – it’s about changing how we see the world and ourselves. Living in Brazil has taught me that life is best lived with a little spontaneity, a lot of heart, and an appreciation for the unexpected. Travel challenges us, inspires growth, and opens us up to connections that cross language barriers and cultural divides. My mission? To share how these experiences can transform you and encourage you to take that leap into the unknown.
