Chris Gomes

Chris Gomes is Brazilian and moved from the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro to a quiet German town.

"As soon as I arrived in Erlangen, I missed the hustle and bustle of Rio. When I looked out the window, I didn't see anyone on the street, didn't hear the sound of a radio or neighbours arguing. I felt like I was inside a zombie movie."

She then decided to write about her experiences with this cultural shock in books like "Caipirinha and a drop of blood" and "Bye Bye Brasilien."
