Trip filled with emotions!

After a 14 hour flight from NYC...we finally arrive!      A bit achy,restless but none-the-less very excited to                     finally see our dear friend, Jennie...:-) After hu…

After ten days in Florianopolis, my impression of Brazil (through beach town tinted sunglasses) is that it is a beautiful place filled with beautiful, beautiful people. No photograph can capture the way the wind blows by your face and the sun strikes the water on the Atlantic Ocean and no word…

Actually this is not a travel blog because I'm going to tell how my hometown looks like. If you're coming to Sao Bernardo you will find a big city that looks like a smaller town, not that country side ones of course. Sao Bernardo is 20 minutes driving from Sao Paulo downtown and 30 minutes driving from the beaches, like Santos. Don't hesitate to contact me if you're looking for tips and advise. Cheers to everyone :)

I love Brasil !

Rio de Janeiro (Hee-oh) was a great chance for us to settle into the country, try and learn a few words in Portuguese, discover all about the Angolan slave trade in the 17th and 18th centuries but to mainly do bugger all and lie on Copacabana beach for two days sipping cerveza and caipirinhas. &nb…

We all arrived separately, so it was a happy reunion with my friends on the 22nd floor of Building G, in the Morado do Sol condominium complex.  I'm not sure what the big deal was, but no one could believe I had made it in high heels.  I was just in time, because Beto and Luis, our neighb…

Well, here is my last day in Brazil. It feels like home after spending 6 months here.  I´ve had the going away parties, said most of my good byes and have packed my bags. The only thing left to do now is hop on the bus to Ciudad del Este, Paraguay... tomorrow.  That's right, to…

Holiday to Brazil, hot hot hot!!!

The last two days we have been doing a buggy tour of Rio. Yesterday the weather was awful for touring in an open-topped car, but it was nice anyway and we saw the districts of Urca, Botafogo, Lapa, Santa Teresa and Centro. The stairs at Lapa are very famous and we had a bonus in that the artist Sel…

Well, after that week-end full of novelties for me, I had to go to my work conference from Monday to Thursday. It was pretty interesting as well, with very friendly people, and I managed to learn even more about Brasil.The conference was held at Hotel Gloria which is located in Gloria, just in fron…

Arrived in Foz de Iguassu and quickly decided that I needed to sacrifice seeing the falls from the Brazilian side and get a flight to Rio de Janeiro as quickly as possible to try and do my number 1 destination of South America justice. Managed to get a decent price for the flight and was …

3 countries down.. so many more to go!!

- exploring Brasil & Argentina - visitin' some old friends I haven't seen in over 2 years - surviving with my weak portuguese

I loved this little town nestled up in the hills of Brazil. My friend Paul and I went up here for a couple of days. It seems like everything in the town evolved around chocolate and Wine. We went to a great fondue restaurant and our table was right next to Nicholas Cage. We made small chat and …
