Surreal moments. Sometimes (in the most inappropriate times, like under the shower, during work,...) I get the best ideas for the texts I want to write on my post, but with no possibility to write it down! -.-  This unfortunately happened again with this post, anyway I can remember some parts of the text I wanted to write, so I`ll do my best now. My cousin`s wedding was just surreal.  The wedding was on a Saturday. On the Friday before they had a "welcome cocktail party" that was beyond amazing and with the location, the music and everything this could have been already the wedding. But it wasn`t it was "just" the welcome party. As I already said, the location was unique, I have never been to somewhere like this before. As you maybe already read on this post , my cousin married in Salvador, Bahia, in Brazil. For the welcome party, which also was a white party, w e got to a skyscraper where a "Baihana" (a woman from Bahia) welco...

Sorria, você está na Bahia. Smile, you are in Bahia. That`s what stands all over the place when you arrive in Salvador airport.   Anyway, how could you not? Bahia (which is a state in the north of Brazil) is like heaven on earth, it`s paradise. Why? Just have a look on the pictures below and you will totally understand! ;) But beyond the landscape I also love their food! They cook a lot with coconut milk and palm oil, lots of shrimps and fish, this state is like made for me! (Have a look on the "Moqueca de Camarão" below ;)) I`ll try to post some "Bahian recipes" in the next weeks. Why have I been there in November? First of all for my cousin`s wedding. But when you fly to Bahia (specially in my case being so far away) you can`t stay for just one weekend, right? So we decided to spend the first week in a house on the beach with friends, than we had the wedding, than we stayed one week in the hotel  Vila Galé (a hotel chain from Portugal), which was at the...

These days were one of the best in my whole life. I went with my family (grandparents, mum, her husband and my uncle) to São Francisco Xavier in Brazil. Traveling with family it`s just so fun, I love it. São Francisco Xavier is surrounded by forests, waterfalls and delicious food ;)  Now I`m in Rio at my aunt`s house for New Year`s  Eve and there is a lot to plan and do now.  I wish you all a amazing New Year`s Eve and a more amazing and happy year coming! I wanted to share with you more pictures, but the internet here is unfortunately very slow, so it would take me hours to load every single photo.. (Sorry that I`m in a rush now, translations and more pictures are coming soon) Esses foram uns dos melhores dias na minha vida! Viagem com família (dessa vez com meus avós, meu tio, minha mãe e o marido dela) (by the way, que gostoso poder escrever em Português com um teclado brasileiro :D) é sempre muito bom. Dessa vez fomos para São Francisco Xavier, no meio do ma...
