After spending seven years working as social worker and helping others through the process of migration I become a migrant myself. In February 2012 my job in the UK came to an end and with my wife (who is Brazilian) needing to complete her degree, we moved to São Paulo. After less than a week in the country I realised that it might be amusing (mainly for others) to document my futile and often embarrassing attempts to adjust to life in Brazil.
About me: I´m a social worker from the UK who specialises in working with refugees. In February 2012 I became a migrant myself when I moved to São Paulo and I'm writing a blog about my attempts to adjust to life in Brazi
Juventus (not that one) & other less important teams in São Paulo At one point during my Palmeiras & Corinthians dilemma I considered making life easier for myself by ditching both of them and following one of São Paulo’s other teams instead.

Lesson No. 4: Ciudad del Este ? Everything?s Relative After schmoozing with Brazilian celebs last week my wife and I decided that we (I) deserved a hard-earned break somewhere far away from São Paulo. Somewhere where people wouldn’t recognise me in the street. And so we took advantage of the long holiday weekend to travel down to Foz do Iguaçu in... Mon, 07 May 2012 11:15:44
My Brazilian TV Debut ? Just Another Ordinary Day In São Paulo In the UK I was just an ordinary guy from South London doing the 9-5 grind and spending the weekends nursing hangovers. In Brazil though it seems that I’m something pretty special. Celebs seem to wanna hang out with me every week. For example, two weeks ago I went to see Grunge legend Mark Lan...
