How does a British guy from Warwickshire, England end up moving to Brazil for 13 years?

This is the true story of how I met my Brazilian wife, left my fashion photography career in London, and accidentally built an entirely new life in Brazil. If you've ever wondered what it's actually like moving abroad, starting over from scratch, and living in Brazil as a foreigner, this video is for you.

In this video, I talk about:

Meeting a Brazilian girl while working in a London bar

My first trip to São Paulo in 2006

The unbelievable coincidence that happened on a cruise ship in Santos

Leaving a career in high-end fashion photography

Finding work at a massive conference in Belo Horizonte

Starting over from zero and joining the Brazilian rat race

This isn’t a typical expat story about escaping life. I didn’t move to Brazil looking for beaches, a slow pace, or an easier ride. I came here because I fell in love, and over the last 13 years, I’ve built my entire adult life, career, and family here.
