Moving

Being a new environment full of unknown characters leaves you no idea where to start. In addition to this torture, you miss your old friends which you don’t have connection with like you did before. After one week, you suddenly start feeling part of the school, because finally more people are talking to you. If any of you guys are foreigners in a country, you will be able to connect to this few sentences. If you have ever moved cities, schools, or countries you will know how horrible and terrifying this idea is. Even so, if the student has an open mind about the change; fitting in is not a problem. It is hard to leave behind a big part of your life, but starting a new one is not as bad as most people think. Starting fresh is always nice, and anyone can be a new person. Another advantage is that you get to meet many other people, but at the same time keep contact with your old friends! This is also a great time to learn about new cultures, which later on makes a big impact in how we think and how we judge. When most people are moving they don’t realize what a great opportunity, and how fun this is!

Africa

What takes up the second place in the bucket list? Africa, I know it sounds crazy but I think for us lovers of travelling we have to experience a little bit of everything: bad, good, luxury, simplicity, wild and modern. For me Africa is one of the most exotic places I could go. I would absolutely love to go to a safari and see all the animals. The truth is, it is not a usual experience and that’s what makes it special. This would be something I would keep for my whole life and I’m sure I would enjoy it more than anything!  It is for sure out of the ordinary but I feel this is the ultimate trip the one I will enjoy with my family. I have seen many pictures and heard many stories with complex details about how it is there, but I think this is a one in a life time opportunity and each one of us will have a different experience in the trip. I can’t wait to accomplish this dream. I’m really happy I had the opportunity to visit other countries but I am sure I would never forget this one and that I will be able to share my experiences with my children. 

Cartagena, Bogota

Some of you might be wondering where my next trip is, yet some of you might not really care; I am going to Cartagena, Bogota. Once my parents told me we were going to go there I was extremely happy! One, because I’ve been to Bogota twice before and love it so I assumed this beach was even better! And three because my best friend lives there and I might have a chance to see her. The sad part is I won’t get to see her, but I still get to go! I am so excited because it’s been 2 month I don’t see my brother (he is in college) and we haven’t travelled together for a long time! My whole family is very happy too because we get to stay in two beautiful hotels. One is in the city of Cartagena which we will be staying for about 3 days, and the other one is near a group of island so it will be just a taste of heave. Not only am I exited for the beach and the snorkeling, but the food there is supposedly amazing. Many people that have gone there, say there is many things to do so I am looking forward to it! Carnival here I come!

Las Vegas

Luxor Hotel, My favorite

Bellagio
This might seem little crazy, but I think it is too; one of the things in my bucket list s to go to Las Vegas. Yes wild, but there is a reason behind this madness. Las Vegas is known for the shows, casinos and entertainment and! And as I mentioned to you guys before I love hotels, and Las Vegas has the most beautiful ones. The most famous of course are: the Paris Las Vegas Hotel which recreates a beautiful image of the wonderful Paris (as I talked to you guys before it is lovely), Luxor Las Vegas which is absolutely my favorite, and of course Bellagio with its grand water fountain show. When I get older, I plan to go with my friends to Las Vegas, and stay in each and every one of these hotels, because as we know the fun part about Vegas is the glamour! Then why not have it all right? I’m sure many of you have gone to Las Vegas and had a blast, I’m sure in some years I will be part of your group! So in a few years, Ill change these pictures for some I am in, and I will be proud to say I went to Vegas.

France

France, Lovely France! You might have heard, if not have witnessed the beauty of the Paris. The food, the museum and the monument are just lovely and amazing. The most famous attraction of Paris is of course the grand Eiffel Tour. Its lights and height of course enchants its visitors every season of the year. If you haven’t gone, I strongly recommend it! The strange thing about Paris is that people either hate it, or love it. In my opinion I don’t see what not to love! In the morning, you can walk to any nearby café because in the end they are all delicious! In my daily routine I went to one just in front of my hotel and asked for my favorite breakfast, a chocolate croissant. Then later on I would walk or take a taxi to any museum or attraction. Wherever you go in Paris, you will find it lovely simply just walking through the streets. One recommendation I will give to you readers out there, is having dinner in the Eiffel Tour restaurant. When I went, we were lucky enough to watch the sunshine. The food there is D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S. Anything thing you order from appetizers to desserts, I’m sure you will enjoy it.

Germany

As you know, Germany is full of history; I can also assure you it is also beautiful. A few years ago I went with my family (my brother, my mother and my dad) and I absolutely loved it! We went almost all over Germany: Frankfurt, Berlin ext. There is so many things to visit it’s incredible! There is everything from castles to stages and museums. Although their accent is a little hard to understand, the people in Germany are defiantly welcoming and lovable. If I haven’t mentioned before, ice cream is my favorite food! I can eat it any time and the more you give me, the more I eat! And as you know the ice cream company Häagen Daz is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. If you didn’t know about this I recommend you to try it in this instant. Just as an advice try the strawberry one. This ice cream company is German so you can imagine how they have it anywhere you go. I for example had the luck to stay in a hotel in Berlin right next to a Häagen Daz. It was my paradise there, unfortunately as we know, every dream has to come to an end.  I hope this little sneak peak of Germany has inspired you guys to whenever possible go to Germany, one of the favorite countries I’ve visited

Brazil


So as I’ve mentioned before, I am originally from Brazil. And as most of you guys should know it is the most beautiful country in the world. Also just reminding you, it is the 5th largest country in the world. For those and many other reasons I visit Brazil every 6 months. When I am there I mostly travel to Campinas, my home town close to Sao Paulo. It is a very calm city and small. I know most of the people that live there which make it easy to have lots of fun during the vacations. But this is not the only nice places in the country, for example I love visiting Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Obviously, Rio de Janeiro is one of the most known places from Brazil. All tourists fall in love with its beaches and the beautiful cloth that are made there. Personally, I think out of all of the beaches in Rio, Ipanema is the most charming of all. Usually, younger people think this too because lots of young people attend this beach. In the other hand, older people like to go to Copacabana. I used to have and apartment there but we decided to sell it. Over all Brazil is a beautiful place either being on Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Amazonas or any other city; it is a great place to have a good time.
