This polemic subject has been in my mind for quite a while now. New York, Chicago, Naples are a few names which come to mind when you ask people here about where to find the best. I’m telling you that there’s another, lesser known pizza city to Americans that may top them all.

As winter peaks here in the U.S., summer is just beginning to heat up in Brazil attracting travelers looking for places to party, relax or both. Brazil’s summer climaxes this February for four days with the world-famous Carnival in Rio de Janeiro.

I was thrilled to hear the choice of Rio de Janeiro as the home of the 2016 Olympics. It represents an important moment in the history of Brazil, and the continent of South America. As a Brazilian, I wanted to share my thoughts on the announcement.
When you saw some of the emotion and passion which [...]

Salvador is an excellent place to try some of the local cuisine. Many of the restaurants serve moqueca (fish [...]
Here I’m again as promised to talk about the activities that we’d recommend. A boat tour of the archipelago is a good choice so you can have a general idea of what the region has to offer, and then go back to spend more time at one of the stops on the tour.

Considered the cultural and religious center of Brazil, Salvador is an excellent place to start travels in Northeast Brazil.
