Over spring break in 2005 a group of students from my school took a trip down to Rio de Janeiro. We went to help teach English and computer classes at a school and run a basketball camp. Basically we just played with kids all day!!

Me and my best girlfriend took Rio by storm in August of 07. It was so much fun and a great learning experience!

The best party that you can ever go in your life is called: CARNAVAL. This famous party is usually celebrate in february.It´s 4 days party, and depending the city you are,It´s impossible to sleep. The bests cities to visit in Carnaval are Salvador and then Rio de Janeiro. But all over Brasil people are celebrating, others towns that the party is good are Ouro Preto and Diamantina. I can guarantee you´ll have the time of your life!

Basicly, i went to brazil for a year on exchange! i did a lot, saw a lot, and learned a lot.

Rio, what can I say. Such a beautiful place filled with culture, adventure, and alluring beaches.

That's the view from my apartment in Angra!

18 flights in 4 weeks. Buenos Aires, Cusco, Iguatu, Lima, Manaus, Rio, Uruguay, Mucho Picchu.

I know this is not exactly traveling pictures, but I just adore animals of all kinds...

i was only there for a short period a gang of kids tried to mug us we rented jeeps and had the time of our lives and went to rio had a wonderful BBQ

This was a little village off of the Amazon River. The locals were very helpful and welcoming. One man gave us a canoe ride to the other side of the river and invited us into his home.

Long drive away from Fortaleza (nearly 4 hours) and then you might need a 4x4 car to actually get to the village. But it's worth the trouble. Jericoacoara (or just Jeri) is a protected area with great lagoons and a lively night life. No banks, public eletricity, garbage... just how life should be :)

:) Today was corpus day which is widely celebrated in Brazil, and for this reason EVERYTHING closes, and class got canceled. I took advantage of this by waking up at 6:00AM with a few other girls to hit the beaches. Ever since I have been here I have been waiting for my beach time, and today was the day. We caught the 7AM bus to go to Ingleses, which is a family beach named after the survivors of an English shipwreck who formed a colony there. It is now a very popular hotspot in Florianopolis...

Just wanna say hello to the people we met on the road. Finally we found some really goooooood steaks!

Bruno and I got to spend a month in Florianopolis over the Christmas holiday to visit our family and friends.  We spent every morning walking the beach in Canasveiras and every afternoon on a beach chair wathcing the ocean and taking a dip whenever we wanted.    We got to spend a lot of time with our dear friends, David and Bia.  We hiked to Naufragados, went to a Daz concert, and swam in the ocean everyday.  It was truey a magical vacation except for the ...

With limited days left on our trip in Brazil, we wanted to make the most of it escaping the cities, for some laid back R&R, beaches & cheap beer. We couldn´t have picked a better location than Itacare (ee-tack-ar-rar), about 500kms south of Salvador. It has loads of different beaches nestled among tropical vegetation, and loads of surf beaches too! So you could imagine the town has quite a laid back surfy feel.
