About Me

*Currently backpacking through Brazil with my 4 🐾 partner in crime, Amora*

Brazilian by birth, global citizen by passion&privilege. Currently a photographer trying to capture some snaps of life while rediscovering myself on a social, anthropolocial, and spiritual journey.

3 kick-off (or fuck-off) questions:

- What does privilege mean to you?
- What breaks your heart?
- What makes you come alive?

"Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them.”

Love making connections. Traveling means getting to know more places, people, and cultures. That makes me more empathetic and respectful towards other people’s comfort zone.

Always looking for a new adventure ;)
