It has always been a dream of mine to go to Brazil ( disclaimer: I am also dreaming of Thailand, Dubai, Morocco, Argentina, Bali, Croatia, Hawaii, Bora Bora, but let’s not go into details right now … )
Since I was a teenager, I was watching those Brazilian movies that perfectly encompassed a wicked lifestyle spent in perfect weather alongside bohemian beaches and grandiose mountains. I only have to listen to some Bossa Nova music in lovely Portuguese and I am instantly wishing I was there.
A fabulous opportunity coming up for a winter escape is the world-famous Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, which this year last from February 18th to the 21st. Have you ever gone?
