Who is PedroL?

PedroL is a world citizen. Borned in Lisbon (Portugal), he has been travelling everywhere in the last 30-something years to collect stories. Stories of people and literature. Stories told through pictures and reports. Stories dreamed by nonsense and music.

PedroL graduated in ‘communication’ and is a freelancer writer. As journalist he writes stories about priests and freaks, cities and communities, traditions and new trends. Under the pseudonymous Mário C. Brum, PedroL has created a literary world where surrealism meets fantasy and unlimited creativity (cof cof!).

PedroL speaks portuguese, english and spanish. Interested in slavic languages, he understands some basic russian, macedonian and bulgarian. Last 2010, PedroL had the chance to live for some months in Skopje (Macedonia). Together with other fellow europeans, he worked in a local youth organization, plunging in a vibrant and diverse society.

To collect his stories, PedroL wandered (as pilgrim) in Beijing, Chernobyl, Rovaniemi, Chișinău and Brasov, among many other places. In the near future, PedroL plans to take inspiration in the streets of Montevideo, in Reykjavik´s coldness and dancing hand in hand with Tbilissians. Meanwhile, he works in a hostel in the city center of Lisbon.

World Wide Project

In this ever-more-globalized-world, internet became the primary tool and World Wide PedroL was created for the author present his work, not only in Portugal or in the UK but also in Guatemala, in Kyrgystan, in here, in there.

World Wide PedroL is a work-in-progress portfolio, focused to readers from all over the world and composed by journalistic articles, travel chronicles, photo essays and whatever.

In his innocence (by one side) and in his show-off (by another), PedroL believes this project will help him to transmit, recognize and perceive the richness of different cultures. And maybe in finding his place in the world. Maybe indeed.

  14. Breathtaking photography! I’ve always wanted to travel, see the world but for now I’ll just live vicariously through your art.

  22. “And maybe in finding his place in the world.” interesting!
    how do you know that you’re already in ‘the place’? how do you describe ‘the place’ itself? is it something physical or something related to non-physical (such as feelings)?
    have a good day!

    • hi and thank you so much for your feedback 🙂 well, literally speaking, find a place in the world is to find a physical place lol however, and honestly, the more I travel the more I realize this place is Lisbon, my hometown… which doesn´t mean that I´d like to stay here forever, in fact I want to travel and live in the most diverse places as possible 🙂 well, in the end, I think it might be something related to my feelings and emotions – it means I always need to see new things and experience new adventures, hope you understand me 🙂 have a great week 🙂 cheers, PedroL
