Simone Ribeiro

Cultural Journalist, English teacher and Translator.

United Kingdom

Brazilian Journalist based in Walsall, West Midlands. My main work at Journalism this moment is as Editor of my website Mídiativa Santos in which I write articles in Portuguese and English about Pop Culture.

Music is my favourite issue but I also like writing about different subjects such as International Trade, for example.

Since I have moved to the UK, in 2011, I have written for some online publications such as Weekend Notes and Sounds and Colours.

In Brazil, I worked as freelance journalist for a magazine about International Trade, Logistics, Petro and Gas and Industry called Brasil Comex for almost 2 years. I also worked as translator during this period, translating International Trade companies' websites.

Football, gastronomy and travelling, photography, graffiti and cyberculture are my other passions.
