Adriana Figueiredo

Adriana Figueiredo, born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in 1996, has always enjoyed sharing her thoughts – sometimes out loud, sometimes quietly, but preferably in writing. Driven by the desire to understand the world a little better and make grievances visible, she found the right tool in journalism. She has lived in Germany since 2024, is a member of a book club and sings in an international choir. An avid traveller, Adriana has already visited around 20 countries – and is most likely planning her next trip right now.
