I just finished my surf session at the beach near Rio. I ordered a risotto with shrimps at the “bar da praia” while enjoying the beautiful view. What a difference from my previous sights I’m thinking as I realize I haven’t seen that many beaches before arriving to Rio. Though since I’ve been here I […]

What surfing does to me

The turtles beach in Brazil

The sound of the water with its tiny waves hitting the beach makes me feel very relaxed. It gives me exactly the same feeling as those meditation songs you can download to your iPhone. The great ambiance at this natural area gets disturbed for a few minutes when three touristy party boats arrive to the […]

You’re in Rio. Yes, the amazing Rio de Janeiro! So what’s the best way to explore such a big, impressive and busy city? By bike of course!

Who screams Copacabana?

It’s 1 o’clock in the afternoon. I can feel the sand starting to stick against my feet and my toes are wiggling to remove some of it. The sun is bright and it might be a bit too much for me to handle today. I look for my yellow carnaval tank-top with my hands while […]
