As summer 2025 draws to a close, the final weeks bring a bittersweet sense of transition.

Wishing for more of those rare summer moments with myself. How much do you enjoy the Pacific beaches? #WreckBeachBC #BeachLovers #SummerInBC

Beach times has arrived ☀️🏝️🇨🇦

She is she —
silent, yet certain.
A guardian of this place,
rooted in time,
arms wide with grace.

Older than the city,
a friend to wind and waves,
perhaps even to Joe Fortes
before English Bay had a name.

Not maple, not apple —
something wilder, wiser.
Too vast for a frame,
too beautiful to name.

Today’s meeting

My cute cousin, Wagner Moura, is back in action in Dope Thief on Apple TV+. The Brazilian star of Narcos and Elite Squad plays a Philly hustler caught in a high-stakes drug scheme. Gritty, sharp, and full of tension—worth the watch. Check it out!

I am missing this big boy so much! I’ve been thinking of you and our adventures together in Stanly Park. I can’t wait to see you again!

Summer ☀️ 💥💙 Vibes 🇧🇷

Missing the flavors of a classic porteño barbecue—Argentina truly is a paradise for meat lovers.

Botecando with sis and ‘cunha’ sis’s boyfriend. In Portuguese, we have a unique way of creating verbs for actions that didn’t have a word before. For example, ‘botecando’ comes from ‘boteco’ (a small, cozy bar) and means the act of enjoying drinks, snacks, and good company in a relaxed setting.

Peaceful moments in Minas Gerais: fish swimming, a blue sky, and nature all around. A moment to breathe and reconnect.

Cheers to good times and even better company! Sipping on a sake passion fruit drink with my sister this Saturday night in Brazil – nothing beats these special moments!

There’s something magical about the simplicity of a wood-burning stove – it brings out the most authentic and rich flavors in every dish. True comfort and taste are born from traditions like this! Happy Saturday!

I’m excited to share my first post here! It feels like a fresh start is just around the corner!
