a love letter to all the places I have been

São Paulo, you have my heart A city on a scale t

São Paulo, you have my heart

A city on a scale the likes of which I have never seen before … a city of cafes and futebol fans and winding roads and traffic … a city of grey skies and lush greenery overflowing from every nook & corner and rainbow color murals exploding across buildings and black & white mosaic sidewalks … a city of beautiful souls that feel like home

I was not expecting to absolutely fall in love with this city, but I did

With 11.45 million people, São Paulo is the biggest city in Brazil, in Latin America, in all of the Americas, and in both the Western and Southern hemispheres! 😱

It is the largest urban area (by population) outside of Asia and the most populous Portuguese speaking city in the world 🇧🇷

São Paulo is Portuguese for Saint Paul and people from here are called paulistanos

Some things to keep in mind when traveling here:

🚘 Traffic, traffic, and more traffic

🗣️ Brazilian Portuguese is spoken here and the language barrier was much greater than I anticipated, brush up on some basic phrases to help you navigate

🚮 In Brazil, you don’t flush toilet paper, you put it in the trash (I’m just the messenger)

The shopping here is 🤌🏻 don’t miss out

Cafes not to be missed:
☕️ @cafebauducco
☕️ @agoodmarket
☕️ @acasadeantonia
☕️ @belocafesp

🍷 @brique_sp

Unforgettable experiences:
🫟 Shop, sip, and stroll through Batman Alley
⚽️ Take in the skyline views + a futebol match at Sampa Sky
