Tenho saudade de você

Man, I have been thinking so much about Brasil over the last week.

My friend showed me the video for Rio's Olympic bid and it just brought back so many memories from when I was living there. Living in Brasil generally, not just Rio.

I think it's so great that they won the bid. But I really hope that when people go over there, they don't just stick to the south. Salvador do Bahia is my absolute favourite place in Brasil. The north has all the Afro-Brasileiro influences and it is just an incredible, incredible place, full of music and dancing and the most wonderful people and food. The further south you go, the more European Brasil becomes. And there is nothing wrong with that, I just want people to see both sides that's all.

I'm really missing it! It's kinda crept up on me! I will definitely make it back there one day. If there's one country that I want to do voluntary work in, it's that one. But in the meantime...

...support the Rio Olympics!!
