I always loved the sea in my eyes and the warmth of the sun in my skin. I didn’t come to Alagoas for a holiday, I came to stay, to make it my life.

I love the wild beaches, the silence of the natural pools at dawn, the sudden forró that breaks out in a fisherman’s yard, the taste of fish straight from the pot, and this slow, deliberate rhythm that feels like real wisdom.

I drink caipirinhas while the sun melts into the sea, chat with the locals as if I’ve known them forever, and consider every day without rush my greatest luxury.
