I’m Brazilian. Brazilian food is still my comfort food. Therefore, this post may be biased. But I don’t think it is. Try the food listed here and then, tell me if you’re thankful (I know you’ll be) or if you think my taste in food is horrible. Pão de Queijo Starting with my favorite food […]
We spent a weekend in Ilha Comprida in November 2016. São Paulo has lots of beaches, but the Southern São Paulo Beaches aren’t the best ones. Since we were staying in Itanhaém (Southern São Paulo coastal town), we heard that Juréia, Cananéia and Ilha Comprida (2 hours drive from Itanhaém) were the best places to […]
We were in Brazil between October 2016 and January 2017. For that period, we knew we’d need a car since public transport isn’t cheap nor reliable there. Plus, we were going to travel quite a bit. We didn’t know whether to buy an old car or rent one. We decided to rent one for a […]
Escape60 Brazil granted us a game, but the opinions are 100% ours. Escape is a game that my family enjoys a lot. You basically get fake locked inside a room and need to find the clues to escape from it in under 60 minutes. If you fail, well, someone will come and open the door […]
We traveled with GOL from São Paulo to Salvador and then from Salvador to São Paulo in November 2016, in economy class. GOL is a budget airline in Brazil, it’s one of the cheapest ones. It was fine for us since the trip was so short (3 hours, give or take a little) and we […]
We spent 12 days in Salvador, in November 2016. This post is the third and last of the posts about that beautiful place on Earth. You can also see parts 1 and 2. We’d arrived in Brazil and spent a month – a rainy month – until we realized it was time to take matters […]

This is the second post of the series. You can read part 1 here, about Pelourinho and Praça da Sé. Part 3 is here. Bomfim Church One of […]
We had 12 days in Salvador, in November 2016. This is part 1 of the Salvador series. You can also read parts 2 and 3. During our stay there, we did few things, but we did everything slowly to enjoy all we could. Our deal with Hertz Rent-a-car Brazil worked great and we were able […]
If someone told me 2 years ago that we’d be traveling the world by now, I’d have laughed. I never even considered it as an option. Even with Angelo working from home and the kids being homeschooled. It just never even crossed my mind. And every time we’d go on holiday, it was always so […]
We flew Etihad from Tokyo to São Paulo in October 2016. There was one 14-hours flight from Tokyo to Abu Dhabi and another 12+-hours flight from Abu Dhabi to São Paulo. It took over 30 hours all the way. It’s a long way even for people who are used to long-haul flights. All in economy […]
