Spotter since 2009
About me
I arrived in Lisbon in 2000, straight from Porto Alegre, Brasil. Living abroad was a dream I had since I was a child. First I thought of becoming a diplomat, and that's why I started the Law School. But soon I found out that diplomacy life was boring and then I gave up.
When I graduated in Law, I had to do something to not become a lawyer, so I came to Lisbon. Lisbon would not be my first choice, but it welcomed me so strongly since the very beginning that my roots here became thicker. So, although I am always travelling everywhere and always wishing to live anywhere else, I am always happy to come back to Lisbon.
Why Lisbon?

"Tapada das Necessidades" is one of Lisbon's parks that are hidden in plain sight. It's a great place for a walk or picnic with great views over the city.

The "Campo de Ourique Market" was recently reborn; it's no longer a market: now 30-40-somethings go there to enjoy themselves at the bars & restaurants.

The "Carmo Archaeological Museum", built at an old church that barely survived the 1755 earthquake, enchants me every time I visit. Open-air concerts, too!

"Jardim do Cerco da Graça" is the biggest green area inside the historical zone in Lisbon. I'm very proud about writing and enjoying this spot!

"O Prego da Peixaria" in Lisbon is a restaurant that makes the definitive Portuguese version of the burger. It's a trendy place but I believe it's worth it

The "Monsanto Green Lane" is Lisbon's 'green corridor' - walking or cycling over it has become a hobby of mine. A great way to see the city and exercise!
by
"Bar Procópio" in Lisbon is one of my favorite bars. It's the perfect bar to go to if all you want to have is a drink and chat with your friends...
by
"Darwin's Cafe" is such an exquisite and spacious restaurant, I would never imagine such a place to exist in Lisbon! Most importantly, it's inexpensive...
