“Ficaà vontade” – (Portugese saying meaning – Make yourself comfortable, make yourself at home)

Brazil is a vibe all on its own, from the cosmopolitan vibes of São Paulo to the vibrant beach energy of Rio de Janeiro.

After being asked if I’m Brazilian a couple of times, Brazil was definitely on my “30 (countries) before 30” goal list.

A vacation never did anyone bad, and with Winter creeping in quickly, some Summer sunshine was needed!

A quick flight with one quick lay-over in Angola, and bam – Bom dia Braaaaaazil!!!! I was ready to get my Samba on, but instead learned how to dance to Favela Funk music (known as Baile Funk in other parts of the world) – in a club with very gorgeous, friendly women who knew how to move their hips and ass.

• 

I was privileged enough to adventure in the two largest cities of Brazil– São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. São Paulo being more uptight in comparison to Rio de Janeiro – which makes sense as to why Rio is the more common holiday destination out of the two.

It was a crazy 8 days of adventuring, eating, sleeping (jetlag was the worst, so super early mornings and early evenings), and paaaaaartying. 8 days may sound like few days, but it’s the perfect amount of days to get used to a country and start feeling like a citizen, without getting home sick. Also, days felt longer because of all the things you can fit into one day.
