About Emma

Oi, hey! I’m Emma, I have dual citizenship for Brazil and the USA, and I have been living in Rio since 2011 (with a brief pause in 2012 to study in Scotland for 9 months). I am in love with this city. I really feel as if I have found myself here, and I have already lived in a handful of other countries so I guess I’ve tried out a few places :) I was alphabetized in Spanish, spoke English growing up, learned some basic French in school, and learned to write in Portuguese when I was 18. I’ll be sharing bits and pieces of my world right here. I am in love with Brazilian culture, dance, music, and art. I started a blog for fun a couple of years ago, so if you want to check out my photography and tips on Rio click on the link below! https://simbora.co/

About Comuna

A multifunctional place where art, great food, and music come together, Comuna is one of the most happening places in Botafogo. The food is of the best quality, and everyone I know raves about their burgers. If you prefer the non-meat options like I do, I recommend the veggie burger, spring rolls, sweet potato fries, and fried pastries with cheese or veggies. They have fun cocktails too!
