Brazil

Brazil is an INCREDIBLE country!

Is it perfect? Absolutely not, but where is?

Brazil is such a huge, diverse country that you could spend years exploring and never get bored. From the massive grey metropolis of Sao Paulo to the tiny little fishing villages of the northeast, Brazil is a traveller’s dream.

Millions of tourists visit Brazil every year for Carnival. The most famous is in Rio, but there are several different, unique Carnivals all over the country. I’ve been to Rio Carnival twice, and in 2020 I’d like to try somewhere else – Salvador, Recife… não sei.

But Brazil isn’t just Carnival. Everywhere you go there’s colour, music, action and adventure.

I’ve lived in Brazil for around a year. I spent much of the time in Rio where there’s rarely a quiet night. Dancing is a huge part of the culture and I’ve attempted to learn the various styles. Forro is the one I want to master (it’s also the easiest style… coincidence?)

I’ve attended several major gigs including Pearl Jam twice and Lollapalooza. The crowds in Brazil are insane! They go absolutely crazy from start to finish and you’ll leave any gig dripping in sweat.

When I return in 2020 I want to get away from the big cities and spend more time at the stunning beach locations. Itacare was maybe my favourite location as it’s an absolute paradise.

Jericoacoara was another perfect destination. I would LOVE to spend a month there, trying all the watersports and taking a million epic photos.

I have too much love for this country.
