Backpacking in Southeast Asia

28 days in Asia, 4 days is North America, 6 countries, 17 flights and uncountable great memories for life.

It could be just a regular vacation around Brazil’s coast, which would also be good, but I wanted more, I wanted to see different realities, meet different people, listen to a different music, try a different food, explore other religions, learn more about history, be able to say “Cheers” in other languages…So I went to the other side of Earth for my Asia trip.

I planned it for a whole year! Searching online for all the places I could not miss, I had to take many awesome things out of my itinerary because I would not have enough time to do everything I wanted, and at the same time I was able to build the craziest itinerary of my life.  With no time to rest, packing pretty much every day and without much sleep, to do the MOST of my trip.

Now, back to Brazil, I have a feeling of MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! I feel tired but in a good way, MY HEART IS FULFILLED WITH LOVE FOR LIFE, GRATEFULNESS FOR ALL THE BLESSED MOMENTS I HAVE HAD, THE PLACES I’VE SEEN, THE GREAT PEOPLE I’VE MET AND FRIENDS I’VE GOT TO SEE AGAIN.

I want to THANK everyone who was part of this REAL DREAM (new and old friends), everyone who gave me support to make it happen (specially my family and my awesome co-workers), and those who followed my adventures through LIVE MORE, TRAVEL MORE, smiled with my smiles and hopefully got inspired to travel more often, which is why this blog was created.

Soon you will find posts on the website about all the places I’ve been and it might help you to plan your own dream trip.

For now you can enjoy our trip teaser! =)

Cheers to life!
