We were in Uruguay from 17th of January until the 14th of February 2017. It was Carnaval (or Carnival) season and awesome. Also, very expensive. There was just so little about Uruguay on the Internet, and all of it saying the same thing, that we just had to do whatever we bumped into. And I’m […]
This is the last post (for now) of our Brazil series. We were in Brazil from October 2016 to January 2017. We arrived thinking we’d get to travel around Brazil a lot, but we spent a lot of that time sick. I’m guessing at least a month was spent sick somehow – asthma, cold, […]
We were in Brazil from October 2016 to January 2017. Most of the time was spent in Sao Paulo, except for the few days we spent in Salvador. Even though we had big plans, we ended up not doing much. On this post, I’ll talk about what we did. There’s already a post for the […]

We were in Brazil in-between October 2016 and January 2017. Farmers Markets are a pretty ordinary thing there. They happen every morning except for Mondays all around the country. In São Paulo, we’d cross one every time we left the house before noon. Most times they’re huge but sometimes they’re simple. There are loads of fresh […]
Since we weren’t paying rent in Brazil, we spent all our money on food. I don’t regret it. So many delicious restaurants to visit… Here’s a small compilation of where we ate. Outback Steakhouse This was the first. It was Melissa’s choice and we landed in Brazil and headed straight there. It’s very popular in […]
We spent a lot of our time in Brazil in Itanhaem and Peruibe. Thanks to my great-uncle Nelson, who owns a house there, we were able to stay rent-free. He even brought us food and fresh coconut so I’d have coconut water every day. So, thank you loads, uncle. Itanhaém is a small beach town […]
