"One picture says more than a thousand words"

Hello!

My name is Jean Sakamoto and I am Brazilian. My mother is from Japan and my father is Brazilian. I live in a country with a lot of cultural diversity. People have come here from throughout the world and continue to arrive today, primarily from neighboring countries. Brazil is also a country with a rich variety of climate, fauna and vegetation. Like other countries, there are lingering social issues, but on the whole these are gradually being solved.

A mere 15 years ago, I found it quite difficult to traverse Poland with a an immense fold-able map and dense 500 page travel guide, struggling to find someone who understood English.
Then a few years later I met Google Maps. And I started contributing uploading my best photos of all places I have been there. I’m proud to have the ability to offer these small contributions. But that connecting with the contribution of all, makes a great contribution. I’m quite pleased to be able to assist travelers, as well as locals, with tips of all kinds - attractions, activities, cuisine, directions, secret places and others.
I love shooting, my phrase is “**One picture says more than a thousand words”.
How about you?
