As my next holiday trip is quickly approaching, I would like to take this moment to look back at my time visiting Rio de Janeiro and Buzios. From the strategic chaos of the city to the serene beaches of magical town. It is easy to forget to cherish the moments of just truly living, outside of the digital world.

During my entire stay Hotel Marina All Suites in Leblon, the staff was just as I imagined. Kind, knowledgable with a sense of true life.

The second portion of the trip brought me to Buzios (Trip Advisor -Certificate of Excellence 2014) and the picturesque beaches. The amazing staff knew great locations to visit and orchestrated an unforgettable surprise birthday celebration. During my stay in Brazil, the one word that stayed with me to this day was texture. From the art, to the buildings and the people, this word truly encompasses the wide range of life in Brazil.

Look for more news on my holiday trip this year and make sure that you keep in touch with where this adventure takes me.
