“Bea-gá” is Belo Horizonte—"BH,” “Bea-gá” in Portuguese.

I stopped in Petrópolis with fairly low expectations and now I'm kind of in love with it.

I got mentally ready for four days of rain and I assured my Brazilian friend that my Airbnb was safe from landslides.

Beaches are very, very lively places in Brazil. And once in a while, the entire beach starts clapping.

There’s a reason why they are nicknamed “suicide showers” by safety-obsessed foreigners.

The city is a loud, happy mess and I'm probably the only person still sober.

Where do they find the energy? Right. Coffee, energy drinks and booze.

All of a sudden, men in tutu and women covered in glitters took over the main street.

I went to Búzios because of a cockroach.
