Recife, Brazil - http://www.tourist2townie.com/
It's a quiet morning on the beach in the Boa Viagem neighborhood of Recife.
And while you're likely to run into a few fisherman and beachgoers, you won't find many people actually in the water here,
As it's said, this is the most dangerous beach in the world do to the heavy shark population just offshore.
And as much as I'd love to jump in and prove it, I decided to skip the swim and head downtown to see what life's like on land in the Capital city of Pernambuco.
The historical center is lined with colorful buildings and cheerful people.
Frevo music is in the air and signs of carnaval are everywhere.
Recife and neighboring Olinda, host one of the best carnival celebrations in the country and no matter when you go, you'll witness the setup or remains of the year's big event.
One of the main attractions during Carnaval here are the Bonecos Gigantes or Giant Puppets, and I just so happened to followed a guy into the Giant Puppet embassy to see the incredible collection of wood and paper mache figurines on display.
The puppets are usually famous celebrities, athletes and public figures and are carried like floats during the local parades.
They're a little bit creepy but entertaining to say the least.
That afternoon I had the opportunity to do something really special.
A local friend invited me to an after-school program that she's involved with in Recife's largest Favela of Brasilia Teimosa.
The group is called Driblando Crack and it uses sports like soccer to help kids in the community avoid drugs and trafficking.
We spent the afternoon hanging out, talking about life in Recife and of course, playing a little futebol.
After an awesome time with the crew, I made my way over to catch a sunset boat tour through downtown Recife.
Our large pontoon boat cruised through the wide canals and rivers as I took in all my surroundings.
And while I wouldn't consider it to be the "venice of South America" as some have labeled it, it was great to see the city from many different perspectives on day one.
The next morning I was up early to go on a little adventure. I borrowed my friend's car and set out on a day trip to Porto de Galinhas.
The first thing you notice upon arrival in the small beach town, is that the people of Porto do Galinhas or Port of Chickens really love their name.
Besides the tacky bird figures everywhere, the beach itself is long and beautiful, and a natural reef just offshore makes for great snorkeling and scuba diving.
I spent the afternoon just relaxing in the sand before making the hour and a half ride back to the city.
Luckily for me, I made it just in time to meet up with friends for some traditional Brazilian nightlife… Karokee!

A BIG THANK YOU to Amazon Gero Tours and the entire staff for hosting me, and keeping me alive.
For the best Amazon Tour from Manaus, check them out - http://www.amazongerotours.com/
- AMAZON ADVENTURE -
There are certain places on this planet that seem almost like fiction.
Unreachable destinations that you expect to only see in story books and documentaries.
The Amazon Rainforest in northern Brazil was one of those places for me.
So when I had the opportunity to come to Brazil, I wasn't going to miss the chance to fulfill a lifelong dream.
My experience began in the gateway city of Manaus, where the journey into the jungle proved to be a task unto itself...
I took a taxi from the airport down to the city's main harbor.
It was here that had my first glimpse of the incredible size and scope of the Amazon river on ground level.
From here I crossed the river on a small shuttle boat, passing the point where the Rio Negro converges with the Amazon which forms a really cool color divide in the water.
Once on the other side, I passed street vendors selling giant fish and wild fruits, before boarding an old VW wagon.
Past the small towns and giant lilly pads, we drove further away from civilization before making one last transfer into a small motorboat.
As we weaved through the flooded forest, the reality of this experience started to set in!
The Ararinha Jungle Hotel would serve as the launch pad for all my Rainforest adventures.
By day we explored the river and trekked through the Amazon rainforest.
In the water we looked out for exotic birds, hidden lizards and even the rare pink dolphins and on land it was giant spiders, poison dart frogs and all types of monkeys.
While the rare Anaconda and Jaguar were always in the back of my mind, it was the smaller animals that you really had to be aware of.
We would go catch piranha in the shallow waters and then boat out to the middle of the river nearby to swim.
It was a dangerous and beautiful place, and my senses were heightened the entire time.
Throughout the process, Kenrick and the other guides taught me some important skills and techniques for surviving in the jungle. From making weapons and building shelter to finding the best things to eat if you're hungry.
Another side of life in the Amazon, is the close-nit community of people who live along the river. I was expecting to see naked tribes and face-painted cannibals, but that wasn't the case at all.
I had the opportunity to meet and interact with many local residents and despite the remote location, life here seems relatively normal, and it comes with an alluring simplicity and self-sufficiency.
One morning we visited one of local farms who were in the middle of cultivating the popular Brazilian staple, Farinha or Farofa. He should us how to transform the poisones root into an edible side-dish and I even popped my top to help out.
On another day we were invited to a house party with some of the off-duty guides and surrounding neighbors.
It was great to see what life was like on a Friday night with people my age in the Amazon.
And at night, when the sensible locals would turn in, we'd launch the boat again and head out to explore the darkness.
With 75% of the animals here being nocturnal, the noises and commotion at night were like nothing I've ever heard.
The easiest thing to spot were caimans, whose beady red eyes surfaced across the river. And apparently, if you're fast and quiet enough, you can reach down into the water and grab one.
On my final day in the Amazon, we decided to take a small crew out to get the full effect of the jungle, and go camp out.
We found a flat, dry space not far from the river and worked quickly to setup camp before dark.
We chopped trees for a tarp frame, cautiously gathered firewood and began cooking dinner over the fire.
As darkness and a little paranoia set in, we enjoyed dinner and drinks to the developing sounds around us.
We listened to music, played cards, and of course, peed close by.
We had some more drinks, made hats out of palm branch and shared stories well into the night.
After an camp-made breakfast with fresh fruit, eggs and coffee, it was time for me to pack up and head back to Manaus.
And although I spent a week engulfed in this incredible place… the people, the wildlife, the environment… everything still makes the Amazon seem like fiction...

Curitiba, Brazil - http://www.tourist2townie.com
Thanks to some exceptional urban planning in the 50s and 60s, Curitiba has become internationally recognized as a model “Green” city.
Home to over two million residents with more than 150 square miles of public parks and forests, Curitiba has been voted one of the best places to live in all of Latin America.
I spent the first day visiting the Botanical Gardens, Japan Square, Passeio Público, Tanguá Park and the local Curitiba favorite, Barigui Park.
After a full day of exploring the local park scene, I was invited by some local friends to a special culinary event called "Mesa ao Vivo."
A group of four famous Brazilian chefs created dishes on live TV that day and then presented them to a small group of friends and peers that evening.. and somehow, I was lucky enough to be on the list.
We started off with Rosé bubbly paired with a spin on some local favorites like Coxinha, sausage and steak tartar.
Then it was white wine with Scallops, farofa and a dash of doce de leite.
The main course was red wine and Costela (or ribs) with Pinhao, a local nut and fermented pineapple.
For desert we had a light and fluffy coconut creme with apples and honey over a drizzle of chocolate moose.
It was an incredible evening that opened my eyes to the culinary movement happening in Southern Brazil at the moment and I was so thankful to be a part of it.
The next morning I was up early to go explore more of downtown Curitiba and take in all the sites and sounds of the city.
After cruising around the city, I met back up with local friends for a more traditional approach to Brazilian cooking.
We talked about life in Curitiba over delicious meat and cold beer as my perception of Brazil broadened once again.
Curitiba clean, safe and incredibly refreshing. The people were warm and accommodating and I can definitely see why it's looked at as such a great place to live.

Curitiba, Brazil - http://www.tourist2townie.com
Thanks to some exceptional urban planning in the 50s and 60s, Curitiba has become internationally recognized as a model “Green” city.
Home to over two million residents with more than 150 square miles of public parks and forests, Curitiba has been voted one of the best places to live in all of Latin America.
I spent the first day visiting the Botanical Gardens, Japan Square, Passeio Público, Tanguá Park and the local Curitiba favorite, Barigui Park.
After a full day of exploring the local park scene, I was invited by some local friends to a special culinary event called "Mesa ao Vivo."
A group of four famous Brazilian chefs created dishes on live TV that day and then presented them to a small group of friends and peers that evening.. and somehow, I was lucky enough to be on the list.
We started off with Rosé bubbly paired with a spin on some local favorites like Coxinha, sausage and steak tartar.
Then it was white wine with Scallops, farofa and a dash of doce de leite.
The main course was red wine and Costela (or ribs) with Pinhao, a local nut and fermented pineapple.
For desert we had a light and fluffy coconut creme with apples and honey over a drizzle of chocolate moose.
It was an incredible evening that opened my eyes to the culinary movement happening in Southern Brazil at the moment and I was so thankful to be a part of it.

I spent 48 hours on the beautiful island of Floripa and made it my mission to experience as many of the 42 beaches as possible.
Thanks to the guidance and advice of local friends, I can definitely say, without reservation, that I found paradise.
Best Beaches of Florianopolis:
Campeche Beach - One of the widest and longest stretching beaches in Florianopolis.
Joaquina Beach - Famous for its big sand dunes and surfing breaks, Joaquina has long been the most popular beach in Floripa.
Mole Beach - In recent years, Mole beach is taking over Joaquina's thrown as the ultimate hot spot for the young, cool crowd. Come here to surf or hangout and stay for the beautiful women of Floripa!
Jureré / Jureré Internacional - This part of the island is dedicated to the rich and famous. Huge homes, beautiful beach and lots of money to go around. There is also a really cool fort close to Jureré Internacional that you should check out while you're in the area.
Santinho Beach - Off the beaten path and a little bit of a task getting there, Santinho is a great spot to escape the crowds. Although there's a big resort on one end of the beach, if you time it right you'll have more than enough space to enjoy the beauty of rolling green hills crashing down into the ocean.
Lagoinha do Leste - Absolute paradise. As you saw from the video, it takes a little while to get there, but that makes it all the better. Come during high season and you'll have to share the space with surfers... a small price to pay for perfection.

Belo Horizonte, Brazil - http://www.tourist2townie.com/
Travel Deeper with me on a long weekend to the capital of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte.
I met up with a local friend and he showed me his favorite things to do in Belo Horizonte.
I explored the central market, visited the cultural center, took a day trip to Inhotim, discovered the vibrant Belo Horizonte nightlife and checked out the Feria Hippie on Sunday.
In between all this, I had a chance to see a different side of the city and interact with locals, which left me with an incredible travel experience.
I can honestly say that the people of Belo Horizonte were some of the most friendly and welcoming that I've met during my year of living in Brazil.
