I just got back from a trip to Brazil...yes, the country from Tropa d'elite and Ciudad de Deus and I'm already thinking at the next destination.
The brazilian adventure started somewhere in may-june last year...it's been so long that I don't even remember:)). Even though it would be great just to wake up in the morning and to be financially capable to go whenever I want it is also great to feel the thrill of searching the best places to visit, the cheapest plane tickets and the best people to meet. That reminds me that i have to thanks again one of my best friends, Lavinia, for introducing me to the Couchsurfing world...that concept has changed my life and I truly believe that all the help you give to a foreign person in your country will get, one way or another, back to you when you're in a foreign place.
Today I just want to present an overview of our itinerary (and by "our" I mean me and the other Mada...the M&M team as we like to call ourselves :)) ) and start building the story of this adventure.
The itinerary was set somewhere at the end of august when, Rafael, a brazilian couchsurfer staid with me in Bucharest for 4 days...and it was something like this:
1. Sao Paulo - 2 days - 14, 15 February
2. flight to Foz de Iguacu, to see the waterfalls (one of the world natural wanders) - 3 days - 16,17,18
3. flight to Rio de Janeiro for the carnival - 3 days - 19,20,21
4. bus trip to Ilha Grande, just to sunbath and relax - 4 days - 22,23,24,25
I have been waiting for this trip for half a year and now that is over all I have left are the memories and photos and I will present them in details in the following posts.
Take care.
Mada
