Projets parallèles : interroger les associations sur leurs visions du Développement Durable et la synthétiser, penser à la phrase de à Lévi-Strauss : « L'humanité est constamment aux prises avec deux processus contradictoires dont l'un tend à instaurer l'unification, tandis que l'autre vise à maintenir ou à rétablir la diversification.»

23 Feb: Met up with Errol (Pom form Hostel in BA) and we headed out to a street party in Lapa. All sorts of dancing in the streets and we had our first experience of caprinhas from the street vendors. Franz Ferdinand were playing at a venue there and we could hear it pretty clearly from outside. 2…

Rio was just an amazing party city and there was so much to see and do. We chilled out on Ipaneama and Copacobana beach and attempted to get a tan. We went up the sugar loaf mountain and to the christ to seee beautiful views of Rio and to watch the sunset. We stayed in Lapa/Santa Teresa on the litt…

The Pantanal wasnt on my agenda when I first set out to Iguacu falls a week ago but somehow I found myself here with the promise of seeing an abundance of wildlife. I wasnt disappointed. I took an overnight bus from Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil straight to Campo Grande. Here I only had to cross the road…

It feels kind of funny start writing about this trip 11 months after it started. Well, what else can be said about leaving home? An exciting (for all that's to come) and sad (for those left behind) moment. I can still remember the last time I saw each one of my family members and friends, and …

Since I last wrote on here we have been busy with our sightseeing... The football was amazing words cannot describe how passionate people are about football. We were sat in amongst all of the fans who were singing, letting off flares and generally going mental. We have some videos and photos on o…
