Lady in Rio de Janeiro – Part II
Blog: A Lady in London - 19 December 2011
Rio de Janeiro reminded me of somewhere. The only problem was that I couldn’t decide exactly where that somewhere was. Every part of the city was reminiscent of another place to which I had traveled, whether it was in Asia, Europe, the USA or elsewhere. This was particularly evident on the second day of my [...]

Lady in Rio de Janeiro
Blog: A Lady in London - 15 December 2011
“Rio de Janeiro is like a chocolate cake. Once you have a bite, you’re going to want more.” These were the words of my guide, Ana, who showed me the highlights of the famous city on a two-day tour of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Before starting the tour, I flew from Salvador to Rio and [...]

Lady on Copacabana Beach
Blog: A Lady in London - 12 December 2011
Rio de Janeiro is called the Marvelous City. The name is appropriate for a land that switches seamlessly between urban chaos, golden beaches, and forest green mountains. In all my travels I have never seen a city with such geographic diversity, and when I arrived in Brazil I wanted to explore each facet of marvelousness [...]

One last knees up. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Blog: Chronicles of a year-long break-up - 10 May 2011
Note: You might have noticed that it’s been a while since we last updated (almost 6 months actually). We have been home for that whole time and we didn’t want to update until we had this – an edited version of an article I wrote for the travel section of the Irish Independent. I remember [...]

Eating in Rio!
Blog: London Cosmopolitan - 25 March 2011
Besides taking in the touristic sights of Rio, enjoying Carnaval, and hanging out with great friends, we also did a whole lot of eating. In fact, Keenan and I probably consumed more beef in our one week in Rio than we ever eat in one year. Seriously, we ate so much I am surprised our pants still fit! So here is our eating-in-review, by the day:

Preparing for Carnival
Blog: On The Road to Find Out - 2 March 2011
Two things have coincided heavily in Sao Paulo this week. The first is the fact that I have suddenly realised that I am off to Trindade for my proper holiday on Friday, and suddenly needing very much to get all my writing assignments in this week. Annoyingly Time Out have pulled in their deadline to [...]

Sao Paulo = Hell de Janeiro x 10
Blog: On The Road to Find Out - 22 February 2011
My friend Fabiola often refers to Rio as Hell De Janeiro, which seems a little unfair because it is pretty much the best place ever. And, aside from that, there are places where hell seems a lot more apt, and Sao Paulo is one of them. Or at least it is between the hours of [...]

Real Rio Part 2…
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 5 October 2010
Having waited for the weather to clear we woke up to discover that it still wasn’t great – the frustration of weather has followed us over the Atlantic – at least I can now officially say it isn’t just the UK that can have unpredictable, bad, grotty weather. Taking a gamble we decided to head [...]

Real Rio Part 1…
Blog: Viva Latin America! - 5 October 2010
As soon as we got the hostel we rushed out to the Ipanema beach which was only three blocks away. We spent the rest of the afternoon taking in our new surroundings at leisure. If you are wanting something free to do in Rio you could definitely do worse than head to the beach and take [...]

Day 139: End of the Road - Latin America
Blog: Diaries of a Vagabonding Couple - 30 June 2010
Rio de Janeiro seen from Corcovado - the world's most jaw droppingly gorgeous city This is it. Our journey in Latin America has come to an epic end. Who would have thought we’d travel through Central and South America by land, with only a hopping flight between the two. We’ve clocked 450 hours of bus and boat time, covered 28,000 kilometers of gravel, dirt and asphalt (3 times the flying

Day 136: World Cup on Copacabana
Blog: Diaries of a Vagabonding Couple - 26 June 2010
When the Portuguese almost scored... Brazil vs Portugal. A former colony confronting their former colonizers on the battlefield in South Africa. I had huge anticipation for the match and so did the rest of Rio. Out at Copacabana, the streets were a sea of yellow and green. Even dogs were dressed in Brazilian jerseys. Everybody sounded their horns as they headed for the beach. It was

Football in Rio
Blog: Never Ending Voyage - 29 April 2010
When we were told that the tickets to see two of Rio’s biggest teams go head to head at the world famous Maracanã Stadium were only R$40 (approximately £14 or $22) and that it wasn’t just a football game, it was a Life Experience, how could we refuse? At some point on the subway ride to [...]Related posts:The First Night
