ABOUT ME

Expat in Sao Paulo who prefers traveling to smaller cities, meeting locals etc. I'm the creative type who loves galleries, live music and dance parties.
I'm spontaneous, at times even reckless, and prefer getting lost in a new place and just exploring.

Also, I love wooodworking and making things!
