Santos, Brazil.

Some can this southeastern Brazilian seacoast town the ‘Miami of Brazil’ due to it’s scenic and simply gorgeous location. And in some ways, both cities are like, yet different at the same time.

Home to the Coffee Museum and the storied soccer club that helped launch the career of futbol’s greatest player ever in Pele, Santos—and the Sao Paolo region—is also home to famous notables such as MMA fighter Anderson Silva, MLB star Yan Gomes of the defending AL champion Cleveland Indians and two-time World Cup champion, Cafu.

In a country that produces both soccer-playing gods and tall, tanned Amazon goddess-like models, it’s no surprise that Santo-born and UK-based fashion model, Amanda Gomes Dos Santos is the next great Brazilian export.

Dos Santos, who has modeled for brands such as L’Oreal, ASOS and Ladbrokes, is a head-turning Brazilian babe with curves and a sense of sexiness worthy of her fellow model co-patriots. Despite being 5’4, Gomes is quite the dynamo as she is one of the hottest—and most underrated Brazilian models—worth following on Instagram, per the website, Human Research as she has 10.3k followers and growing.

Now based almost 6,000 miles away from her native Brazil in Norwich, England, Gomes in beginning to turn heads in the UK and the rest of Europe as one of the hottest fashion and commercial models on the market today.
