Se você tivesse me perguntado quais experiências eu quero ter em minha vida, eu provavelmente e vagamente teria falado sobre viver no Brasil por alguns meses em algum momento da minha vida.
If you had asked me about different things I wanted to experience in my life, I would probably have mentioned vaguely about living in Brazil for a few months at some point in my life.
When people think of traveling Brazil, they mostly think of beaches, beaches, and... more beaches. But there is so much more natural beauty to Brazil than that. Case in point - canyons! Who knew there were these magnificent canyons not far inland
French Polynesia is the definition of tropical paradise. Its lagoons have the clearest waters you will ever see, its resorts are some of the fanciest you will ever experience. French Polynesia has been a top destination for both of us for a
In many ways, we were made for #vanlife. We love being our own tour guides, taking ourselves wherever we want to go and staying for as long as we please. Having a place to sleep and everything with you on the go
Egypt needs no introduction. All the ancient history classes have thought us all about the great ancient Egyptian civilization as well as their mythical religion. We first had plans to come to Egypt in 2017, but some unexpected events led us to
Our adventures in the Middle East continued from the busy cities in Israel to the natural wonders of Jordan. Aside from the stunning landscapes, we had been looking forward to some specific experiences we were particularly excited about. By the end of
It was our first time in the Middle East! To say our families were thrilled about us visiting this area of the world in the current political climate would be a complete lie. Right before we arrived, the US killed an Iranian
Morocco was always about friends. We had a friends-trip planned before we even left, so it was part of "The Great Expedition" from the beginning. We were always going to circle back to this part of the world. Travel is thrilling, but
With its rich history, delicious food and friendly people, it is no surprise that Portugal was near the top of our travel list for quite some time. It was a great transition place for us as we wrapped up the South America
Going to Antarctica has been the very top of our travel bucket list for a long time. How do we even begin to describe what this expedition has meant to us? Arguably the ultimate highlight of The Great Expedition, Antarctica seemed out
It was hard to believe after the beauty of Falkland Islands and the high of South Georgia, that the main attraction of our 22-day ultimate expedition was still yet to come - Antarctica. We had seen so much already - could Antarctica
South Georgia has it all. An abundance of wildlife. Stunning landscapes. To top it all off, a unique history of sealing, whaling and polar expeditions, including Shackleton’s famous Endurance Expedition and the unbelievable story of the men’s survival. South Georgia is one
The first landings of our 22-Day Antarctica Ultimate Expedition was the Falkland Islands. We boarded the MS Fram in Ushuaia and sailed along the Beagle Channel the first night, heading east to this UK territory claimed by Argentina.
We headed over to Argentina to continue our exploration of Patagonia after our Torres del Paine "W" Trek. The Argentinian Patagonia region was equally stunning as the Chilean one, though similar in landscape. However, there was one unique attraction on the Argentinian
Visiting Torres del Paine in Chile has always been on our bucket list. We were pretty excited to check this off as part of The Great Expedition. From Easter Island, we first flew back to Santiago before heading south to Patagonia. A
Ever since I was a kid, I have always wanted to visit Easter Island (Rapa Nui), what is often considered one of the most remotely inhabited places on Earth. The mysticism and history surrounding Easter Island and the moai rivals those of
From Cape Town in South Africa (as we sadly wrapped up the Africa leg of the trip), we headed to Brazil, officially kicking off the South America leg. Brazil means family time (yay) and further exploring of Carlos' home state, Santa Catarina,
At the end of our 22 day overland absolute Africa safari from Victoria Falls to Cape Town, we were left with a few days to explore this beautiful South African city. There was a lot to see in Cape Town, from nature
After spending a couple of days in Victoria Falls, we met the Absolute Africa travellers and crew we were going to spend the next 22 days with and started our overland tour through Botswana, Namibia and South Africa.
From the idyllic islands in the Seychelles, we continued our journey south in Africa and flew to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. One of the largest waterfalls in the world, the falls themselves were the main attraction for us.
A tiny nation-archipelago off the east coast of Africa, the Seychelles are blessed with natural beauty and unbelievably gorgeous beaches. It has been a long dream of ours, like with every other destination on "The Great Expedition", to visit the Seychelles. In
Taking a break after our safaris in Kenya & Tanzania, we headed to the beautiful and laid-back island of Zanzibar. A melting pot of cultures, Zanzibar is mostly known for its spices and beaches, the latter being our main drawn to the
