i lived in NE brasil from mid 2002 to mid 2003 and it was the time of my life. most brasilians are extremely outgoing, optimistic, and energetic people. The city where i lived, Natal, has about 1,000,000 people and is surrounded on all sides by white sand beaches and miles of sand dunes. If you ever end up in Natal, definitely go on a dune buggy ride! the drivers typically ask if you want the ride to be "com emocao ou sem emocao?" which means "with or without emotion?" great bar scene around town too. and im not even gonna get started on Carnaval or New Years in Brasil. seriously, the time of my life. - Casey , posted 04/30/06 |

I was in Brazil for half a day when I hear the doorbell ring. I open it and .... to my great surprise .... it was a friend who had just landed on this continent as well. To run into a friend BY COMPLETE CHANCE, in the fifth biggest country in the world, on my first day, meant to me that I was in the right place at the right time. All my pre-departure questioning disappeared. ["Why should I go waste time in Brazil? Why did I not cancel the flight?"] I already have a group of Rio native friends I hang out with and I canceled my trip up to Recife till later. Life in Rio De Janeiro is so great it is almost difficult to imagine. It seems almost impossible to have so many genuinely super sweet, smiley people in one place. The physical city itself, with its mountains water inlets and variations all over, is sooo worth singing about. Some parts of the city seem very small-town-like (even if it has one of the greatest population densities on earth). Everybody says hi and talks to each other here. Rio is as close to an urban paradise as I could have imagined. There are beaches, mountains and waterfalls right in, or near the city. There are crazy new architecturally interesting areas and huge old cobble stone areas. There is music, nightlife, art, history, people from around the world and... surfing. But, if you are in the wrong part of town with a digital camera at four in the morning, don't expect to take the camera home ;-0. Like almost any big town on earth, some areas are to be avoided anytime of day, or night. One month later: I have been in Recife/Olinda, Pernambuco (North East Brazil) for a while now. Here is one of the places on earth I feel really at home. The state of Pernambuco has great people, music and art, as well as decent "summer" surfing. (Brazil is a true federation, each state having its own music, myths, cultures, traditions and governments.) I have five friends who have joined me from around the world here now. Keep me posted on how you are doing! Hope all is well, Love, Philippe ooxx - Philippe , posted 02/24/05 |

SACRED FIRE JOURNIES INVITES YOU TO MAGICAL BRAZIL! Claire Rumore, owner of Sacred Fire Journies tours and retreats and Soul Fire Life feng shui and coaching invites you to be a part of the first annual Butterfly Retreat and Boa Morte festival tour in magical northeastern Brazil this August 2005.

During this time you will be accompanied by two life coaches and a support group of fellow travelers. Our focus will be on personally defining what it means to be a citizen of the New Planet Earth. With the tools of intuition, creative visualization, and manifestation, we will venture into topics including money, time, relationships, our connection with nature, vision quests, and more! And after you emerge a fully empowered butterfly from your retreat ?cocoon,? you will begin a 7-day adventure in Salvador da Bahia and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, exploring the enchanted cultural explosions, seductive rhythms, and alluring beaches that these cities have to offer! Limited space available. To hold your spot, a non-refundable $200 deposit will be due by March 31, 2005.
