ABOUT ME

I work with theater and arts.
I live in a chaotic city, but it can be wonderful if you know how to live it.
My husband is an architect.
We live between the downtown and Avenida Paulista, because these are the places we love the most in the city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2010 we went to the Lisbon Oceanarium, thought it would be a visit of two hours, but we ended up staying there almost five hours, marveling. We left only because we were starving.

Two years ago, we traveled in November with a friend to France. We were in Turenne, was very cold, raining, we were three sharing one umbrella, we climbed the tower with 360º view and saw nothing, only a white mist. Everything seemed to go wrong, but we were so happy, everything was so beautiful, it was almost a magical day.
