São Paulo, Brazil
São Paulo was truly a pleasant surprise for the both of us. Up until now, all we'd heard about this place was nothing but negativity . . . fortunately though, that's not what we encountered!
One thing's for sure, luckily the weather was perfect while we were passing through because it made a big difference. Usually it's constantly raining according to the folks here, but hey, I guess we brought along the sunshine!! :)
For some, this city is too big and hectic, like most big cities, I guess. Still, I gotta say that the people here were so warm and friendly to us, that we just had a perfect time here. And I could see myself coming back for sure.
The best thing about our visit here, without a doubt, was the time we spent with the Paulistas!! We had the pleasure of being hosted by a fantastic couple, Fenix & Renato. An awesome couple!! They were great to us and really showed us a good time here.
Did some sightseeing with them and even had the pleasure of hanging out with their friends and get a better feeling of the community here.
Oh yeah, we also had the opportunity to attend our first CS gathering too! Another nice evening with interesting folks and good food . . . my first time trying Iranian specialties . . . Tasty!!
The only unpleasant thing that was experienced here was seeing all the little street kids that are put to work by their parents.
Yet, São Paulo, in itself, was nice. And those of you who can visit the city, don't miss out because you'd be missing out on some of the friendliest people around!!
Faire parti du mouvement CS est la meilleur des choses a faire a
Il y a ceux qui voyagent et ceux qui hebergent, chacun a un profil, il suffit juste de rentrer en contact avec la personne, s ecrire quelques messages et prendre la bonne decision. Apres chaque visite, l un et l autre ecrit un commentaire et cela donne ainsi des references. Et bien sur, le plus tu as de references positives, le moins tu te feras refouler.
Donc tous les gens que vous voyez sur ces photos sont des couchsurfers: soit des voyageurs, soit des herbergeurs!! Et quand tu as de la chance (elle ne veut pas nous lacher celle la) tu tombes sur Fenix et Renato, des gens super adorable, simples qui aiment la vie, qui vivent tranquille sans se prendre la tete, le pied quoi!! Et toi tu passe quelques jours chez eux a partager leurs vies.
Pour la premiere fois, on est alle a une soiree de CS, chacun amene son petit quelque chose, et voila des bresiliens, des americains, un colombien, un israelien et un francais pour bien sur mettre un peu d ambience.
Sao Paulo est une ville buildings, je pensais que Manhattan etait grand, c est parce que je connaissais pas Sao Paulo. A
