The author

A life across countries.
Stories written to stay.

Joe DaCosta was born in Portugal and has built his life across different cultures, professions and places.

His journey through Portugal, Brazil, Chile and other Latin American countries —including Mexico, Colombia and Argentina, where he currently lives— has shaped an attentive view of human bonds, changes in direction and the emotions that endure over time.

His writing grows from observing people and the stories that seem to end, yet continue to live in memory.

01

Memory

What we remember also changes the way we choose the present.

02

Bonds

Imperfect, profound and recognisable relationships, told from a mature perspective.

03

Second chances

The possibility of returning, not to repeat the past, but to choose differently.
