I went to see the medic on board to see if I could get any pills to help me sleep (I've been having trouble with my malarone) - she said she could help me, but would contact a doctor on land first to authorise the issue. I go back to the office. 2 hours later, a panicking office monkey tells me…

Throughout my life I’ve been fascinated by anything to do with aircraft and flying. So, when the opportunity presented itself for me to take a tandem hang glider flight during a visit to Rio de Janeiro I couldn’t resist. After a short bus ride from Rio I arrived at Pepino Beach where…

Bûzios is known to be the South American Saint Tropez. It's a claw shaped penninsula with beautiful beaches, excellent restaurants and everything you can wish for on a holliday.

I was in Corumbá - MS taking a student event and hanging out with my friends. I've loved to get to know people there, they're terrific! By the way, you should take some light clothes, because besides hot weather there are no winds.

My town/state... enjoy it!

An amazing experience in the Amazons.. Tarantulas, monkeys, anacondas, jaguars, caymans, pink dolphins, piranhas, bugs, lots of mosquito, lazy bears... thousands kinds of animals with the wonderful ecological reserves. Amazon River, one-day three-country trip, indigenous tribes, coca plants, fruits, Yaje ceremony, swimming with piranhas, traditional fishing, indigenous markets, sleeping in hammocks, taking bath in the lake of anacondas... There are lots of things to do.. Just see the pics :)

This, along with the coming journal entries, is coming very late, but what the hell.  This was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.  Very, very frightening though, but much more inside the plane that outside of it.

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

Impressions from across Rio de Janeiro.....Cobacabana and Ipanema Beaches, Downtown city life with lots of delicous barbeque restaurants and awesome Caipirinhas in all strengths and flavors (!!), seeing why soccer is so important for Brazilians, the so unbelievably beautiful nature with its jun…

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…

Porto Alegre is the capital of Rio Grande do Sul state in the south of Brazil! It´s a nice city with its kind and gentle people. Here is the unique place where you´ll have the chance to taste the typical "Chimarrão", a kind of hot tea prepared with "erva mate" and hot water, and served in the famous "cuia"! The city has a lot of beatyful parks and the best sunset on the Guahyba river!

Now we know what everyone is raving about when they talk about Brazilian beaches (and not to mention the horrendous prices here)! We arrived in Paraty from Sao Paulo (the most dirty and disgusting looking city we have seen this far) at about 10pm. We wandered around for over an hour looking for so…

That was my last amazing vacation! If you like sunny days, parties on pretty nice beaches and getting to know people from all over the world, that's the perfect place to enjoy yourself!
