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 ZaZa Bistro

This place has a funky interior design and a wrap around porch where you can sip caipirinhas and people watch as locals return from the beach. My favorite area is the second floor, where you take off your shoes and sit cross legged on big cushions surrounded by dangling fairies hanging from the ceiling. It has an eclectic mix on the menu and has been inspired by Mediterranean and French cuisine.
