I have been living in Rio De Janeiro now for two months and while I have loved it here I need to do a quick visa run. What else is there to do than to take a quick trip to Peru & Chile? After all, I can claim that I have been able to day […]
Christ The Redeemer Statue At Sunset: Rio De Janeiro
I think it is a disservice that I have been living in Rio De Janeiro for nearly two months and I just now visited the Christ The Redeemer statue. Getting there was no issue and it was quite interesting to see different people living on the actual mountain as we climbed in the trolley. The […]
Getting Acclimated To Life In Rio de Janeiro
Life in Rio De Janeiro hasn’t been the same since I arrived in the largest country in South America. I would beg to mention something else that was very big that I found on the beaches of city but I will refrain from frightened the kiddos. It reminded me of many places I visited around […]
Ipanema Beach: Rio De Janeiro
Nothing says Rio De Janeiro like Ipanema beach! I always follow the locals in any city that I travel to and when I heard that Copacabana is the last place I want to be when it comes to beaches I was surely surprised. The beaches of Copacabana have turned dirty and filled with souvenir hustlers. […]
Dear Florianopolis: I am NOT impressed
The things said of Florianopolis were nothing short of exceptional. “There is nothing like the beaches on that island” one traveler told me. Anytime I googled anything including awesome and South America there was always one result that appeared continuously. Awesome + South America = Yep, Florianopolis. Considering that I have lived in 5 of […]
The Portuguese Enigma: Stop Messing With My Head
What the hell Portuguese? You have taken my language learning prowess and completely torn it into shreds. I can honestly say that Portuguese is my kryptonite (green rock that makes superman weak for my international readers). I can compare the language to what I felt the first time I sent out to explore in Rio […]
Curious Sea Turtle: Florianopolis, Brazil
This Sea Turtle was found in the Project Tamar in the beach called Barra De Lagoa in Florianopolis, Brazil. This is a special project where they help sea turtles which are already endangered in the area. I was lucky since they were cleaning one of the pools and they allowed one to walk outside on its own.
Rio De Janeiro Reminds Me of Israel, USA, & Latin America
There is something very unique about not only Rio De Janeiro, but Brazil as a whole. There are some countries that are similar to others and very few countries that are completely unique. I wouldn’t consider Brazil to be entirely unique but the way that everything comes together is unlike any place in the world. […]
Famous Steps In Rio: Escadaria Seleron
The famous steps in Rio De Janeiro are one of the most unique things to see in the world. When you first arrive at the stairs you are immediately blown away by the array of colors
Venezuela De Antier: Merida
Welcome to Venezuela de Antier (The Venezuela of yesterday)! This is a tourist attraction in Merida, Venezuela that is found up high in the mountains in Merida. Merida is one of the most visited cities in the whole country, especially now considering Venezuela is in very bad shape right now. It is a bit similar […]
