Legends of the Falls
People call me crazy because I like to get to the airport at least 3 hours before my flights (or to the train station…). But let me tell you this story. My parents live 6 minutes away from the airport (it’s 3.8km). Although Recife is a big city and it’s an international airport, it’s not…

Historic and Artistic Gems in Recife: Casa da Cultura & Brennand
Just like the weekend, during my last week in Recife, I continued to visit places I hadn’t been in a while. We first went to Casa da Cultura de Pernambuco. The Casa da Cultura de Pernambuco is a historic site and also a cultural hub. It was originally built between 1850 and 1867 and used…

A different weekend
Everyone has a few things they do or places they go only when you have someone visiting, right? Like the tourist attractions, specific restaurants, etc. For me, it is the Falls. But back when I lived in Brazil, it used to be Olinda. So, even when I came back to visit, I think I have…

Colmar
One of the best things about Europe is how close everything is. I feel like in Canada, I could drive for 3 days before getting to the next city. Here, everything is close. So, after our meetup in Strasbourg, I had a few days to travel around before I headed to Norway because my sister…

Where it all started
A little bit over ten years ago, I was bitten by the travel bug. The first few years after moving to Canada, I basically spent my vacation time travelling to Brazil to visit my family. But after a while this started to bug me a little. I wanted to do more than that. I wanted…

Oahu
A couple of years ago we, Carol, Rafa, Cecilia and I, started what I hope becomes an everlasting tradition of travelling on Carol’s birthday. I just realized I never wrote about our Disney trip 😬 But what else is new? So, this year we went to Hawaii (Oahu). It was a bit crazy, as usual.…

London, Baby
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Yeah, I am almost one month late, I know. I am going to go fully cliche and say I don’t know where the time went. I mean, it was Christmas 2 days ago and now it’s almost February. Things got a little crazy at work right before the holidays (good crazy) and…

Calm after the storm
I’m sitting in the hotel lobby waiting for my ride to the Tulum Airport. I’m already missing the AMAZING week I just had. I have mentioned multiple times here that working remotely is the best decision I have ever made. I would never, by choice, go back to working in an office. But those two…

The Enchanting Cyprus
This is always a fascinating time. Get together with my teammates, collaborate in person, and play board games. Work hard and play harder XD This was the first team meetup that was just the 8 of us (we have been to a Division meetup together- in Vienna – and also a Woo Mobile meetup –…

A Nice Surprise
My last morning in Dresden was rainy, so I took an Uber from the Hostel to the train station. The Uber driver was very chatty (juuuuuust the way I love it… #not). Told me his whole life, about his Brazilian wife, everything. Nice guy. I am one of those crazy people who get to the…
