  1. The backpack diaries – our top ten South American experiences

    Blog: Chronicles of a year-long break-up - 21 December 2011

    So this post is a little late – over a year late to be precise – but that’s okay because we still remember every miniscule detail of the trip as if it was yesterday. We’re determined to get back on the blogging horse and we have a few great European posts up our sleeves for [...]

  2. Perfect little Paraty, Brazil

    Blog: Chronicles of a year-long break-up - 11 November 2010

    I don’t like to throw the ‘P’ word around but Paraty may be the perfect weekend getaway. Pretend for two minutes that this lovely seaside town in Brazil is not 11 cramped plane hours and the guts of US$1,000 away. Pretend, for example that you live in Sao Paulo, a mere four hours away by [...]

  3. Photo of the Week: Paraty Church

    Blog: Never Ending Voyage - 25 April 2010

    One of the many churches in Paraty, a pretty colonial town on Brazil’s Costa Verde. We spent a few days wandering the quiet cobbled streets.

  4. Time and all that nonsense

    Blog: On The Road to Find Out - 22 March 2010

    Well I’m certainly not gonna make it sound like I’ve done much over the past week, seeing as I can’t even get my act together to write an entry on this blog. There’s just something about Trindade that makes the idea of sitting down at a computer for any length of time the worst idea [...]

  5. Cachaça, more than just Brazilian rum

    Blog: On The Road to Find Out - 8 March 2010

    There are two main reasons that I’ve been writing less since I arrived in Trindade (on the green coast of Rio state). First is the fact that being in a small fishing village with rainforests on all sides and a plethora of beaches doesn’t make sitting down and spending a good portion of the day [...]

  6. Ponta Negra, Rio de Janeiro

    Blog: On The Road to Find Out - 5 March 2010

    It almost seems ridiculous that people end up travelling all over Brazil in search of great beaches when there are so many around Rio and Sao Paulo. Trindade, where I’m currently sat, is one of them, on what is known as the Green Coast, mainly due to the fact that it’s flanked by Mata Atlantic [...]

  7. Rio Post-Carnival

    Blog: On The Road to Find Out - 23 February 2010

    Unless you’re so wasted from carnival that everything now appears as lights and shapes and there’s no longer any point differentiating between what is good and bad then Rio post-carnival really is not the place to be. On my final day I saw two naked men on the street, one with his pants round his [...]

  8. Trindade, Brazil – Awesome for a Mud Fight

    Blog: The Travel Tart - Offbeat Tales From A Travel Addict - 28 January 2010

    Trindade, Brazil. Looks like a fun place to me.  Especially if you like a Mud Fight! I haven’t been to Trindade myself.  But one of my other travel addicted friends has (ironically, his name is Anthony as well). He passed on a photo and a video about Trinade to me, so I’d thought I’d share this pretty [...]Trindade, Brazil – Awesome for a Mud Fight is a post from: Funny Travel, Offbeat Travel, Weird Travel - The Travel Tart
