Starting in feb 2006 I set off on just short of 6 months of travelling round the world. First stop Cape town, then 20 flights later flying back home from New York.

Well, this year, I and my my choir went to Brazil. Man, it was amazing.

Just a few photos and postcards from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and one warning.  Stay off the beaches at night!  A friend of mine got robbed one night when we were there in Rio, well lets just say he got back to the room “Butt Naked” ROFL, they took everything!  Have you ever gone on a trip and the cheep 35 mm camera you bought brakes right after you get there.  If so now multiply it multiple times and that is me till I went to Israel in 1999 and got a nice 35 mm camer…

I´m spending around 1 year in South America, I had an amazing time. Enjoy my pictures, I'd do it again.

In the fall of 2005, I was lucky enough to get to travel to Brazil for work. I spent about 5 weeks there and had a chance to experience the great city of Sao Paulo, including great restaurants, amazing people, and fun nightlife. We also took weekend trips to Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, Argentina. Overall, it was another great trip to South America.

In July I am going to Gambia for 6 months with Mondochallenge (www.mondochallenge.org); January is in Madrid learning the language before a 3 month tour of South America

The 19 hour bus ride to Rio de Janeiro was quite good thanks to our friend, the sleeping pill. "What? It is 10 in the morning already? Can I sleep a little more?" So after a solid night of sleep, we arrived at noonish and got onto a bus to meet Danilo´s parents at a hotel in Copacabana. We arrived to the hotel with our huge, dirty backpacks where we were greeted by a receptionist that looked like a model... rather awkward. However, what did suck was that Danilo´s folks wouldn´t arrive…

A review of two fantastic cities, metropolitan and yet naturally beautiful in the cradle of culture in South America - BRASIL.

  One of those mornings in that we descied to not to get up too early.  After seeing the sun peer though the window at approx 8 AM it was time for me to get up.  Yes--8 AM, I do not like to get up late. After showering I went downstairs to change the towels.  I saw the man who I had the deal with for the room and I agreeded to pay him.  I gave him 110 reals and I was done and I also had clean towels. We decided to go to the bus station to get by ticket.  About…

Perú, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile... ...I across South America alone with my Diary

Nonii... 5. juuni juba käes ja Rios olemise aeg selleks korraks peaaegu otsas. Aeg lendab nagu segane ja midagi suurt täna jälle korda ei saatnud. Ärkasin hommikul üles, keerasin ühe juustuvõileiva keresse ja mõtlesin, et lähen otsin üles selle Eesti aukonsuli, kes siin Rios pesitseb. Ega midagi tarka talle öelda ei oleks, aga hiljuti tekkis lihtsalt huvi uurida, et kas on lootust eestlastele Brasiilia viisa nõue kaotada. Brasiilial on nimelt spetsiifiline `teeme-tagasi` v…

Never before have I seen something mean so much to a country as soccer, or football, means to the Brazilians. On every corner, of every street, there are Brazilians selling everything they can with the yellow and green of Brazil. There are noise makers, fireworks, flags and of course Ronaldino jerseys. Over seventy-five percent of the people walking the streets have something with “Brasil” on it. The spelling of Brazil is with an “s” as in Brasil, this is the Portuguese spelling. Yell…

I arrived in Rio Monday morning after a very long day and a half. I flew from SLC to Atlanta, had a 10 hour layover in Atlanta, and then flew to Rio. I took a cab to my friend's place in Copacabana. I am going to be staying with my friend for a week doing some rock climbing around Rio and then I will be traveling on my own for the rest of my trip. Monday was very cloudy, I was a bit bummed about that. I went to the beach in the afternoon and read in the sad and then went back a had a gr…
