Looking for travel buddies & also Spanish Courses!

Hi

I am currently travelling alone down the costal route from Itacare down to Rio & São Paulo. I'm an English girl and would love to meet some people going to the same areas to go out with! I planning on doing roughly the following route:

Itacare
Ilheus
Porto Seguro - Days trip: Arraial D'Ajuda, Trancoso.
Vitoria in Espírito Santo
Vila Velha
Guarapari
Rio de Janeiro
Ilha Grande
Paraty
Sao Paulo ~ Florianopolis ~ Iguazu Falls

If anyone is doing a similar route, I'd love to meet up!

ALSO

I would like to do a Spanish Course in Buenos Aires - can anyone recommend a good beginners course or school to learn at?

Many thanks

Toni xx

Hi, I don't know of any Spanish courses in BA but I'll be there for about a week from May 26th if that coincides?

we studied at vamos spanish school in Palermo, BA. Good location, very helpful admin staff, price reasonable for BA (an expensive place to learn). Not too big but enough to meet other people and organised outside activities.
Enjoy the trip - loved Itacare

Also there's a spanish school in BA i previously studied at called Coined, they were pretty good and really informative plus you get to use their internet even if you're don't have lessons one day.

Thanks everyone! Still haven't quite decided which school to chose yet but very grateful for all your suggestions!

Silver 99 when do you arrive in Rio? I'm not 100% sure yet, I should be there in about a week too... Do you know where you are staying?

I'm already in Brazil, currently in Arraial D'Ajuda, and have a stop in Vitoria and maybe one more stop before Rio! So should be there about the same time! Do you know what hostel you are staying in?
