Some people think that living a life full of travel is all about running barefoot in green fields with blossoming daisies, while unicorns are running carefree in the background and the sun is shining down upon you softly.

Welcome to Sao Paulo, the largest city in Brazil. Once you become acquainted with this place, you might refer to it as “Sampa”, like locals and friends do.

Carnival is a festival celebrated in many places around the world. Still, for many people, carnival is synonymous with Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!

A bittersweet scene taken on a happy place. This is Carnival in the streets of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. As people pass by singing and dancing, Grandpa goes with the flow and does the same… until some kids get close and spray him with fake snow.

Floripa, short for Florianopolis, is an island off the coast of Brazil. It’s a big city but has some very idyllic locations. Sunset by the bay is a romantic experience and the views are amazing! The prawns there are chunky and delicious!]]> https://bkpk.me/idyllic-floripa/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/hows-your-faith-holding-up/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hows-your-faith-holding-up https://bkpk.me/hows-your-faith-holding-up/#comments Fri, 08 Jun 2012 06:24:06 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=2823

The carnival in Salvador de Bahia, creates a broad range of strange sights.

I am a big fan of warm kitchen setups. The modern metal and glass cool look doesn’t really work for me. Call me traditional but give me a warm homey kitchen any day over a steely cold kitchen.
