After the excitement of seeing the penguins I boarded another overnight bus to Bariloche . Crossing through Patagonia is a rather long process and the landscape does not help. For hours on end all you see is flat land. The only surprise was waking up ... Read more >

On the way to Ilha do Mel I quickly passed through Paranagua . I expected it to be a busy port with little charm but it turned out to have quite a beautiful water front lined up with some old colonial buildings.

I didn't want to go to Sao Paulo. I didn't want to leave the beach but the imminent start of the carnival meant that I could no longer stay at Ubatuba . It's probably for the best as I can almost see myself 1 month on and still lying on the same ... Read more >

It's really hard to describe my time at Kilombo. It's such a special place. I didn't really have any expectations as didn't really read anything about the place apart from few email exchanges with Mestre.

Leaving Lencois was a bit tough. It's a really beautiful place with so much to do that you can easily spend a month there. I was also dreading the overnight bus journey to Salvador followed by capoeira training later on that day. Luckily I managed ... Read more >

A journey, after all, neither begins in the instant we set out, nor ends when we have reached our door step once again. It starts much earlier and is really never over, because the film of memory continues running on inside of us long after we have come ... Read more >
