Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

Oof! Over the past few days, I've traveled from Americana, São Paulo (the capitol city of São Paulo) to my current location in Belém, Pará. From the southeast of Brazil to the northern region, this distance is similar to traveling to Florida from Montana!

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

I've been lucky enough to travel all over Brazil! My journey started in São Paulo, then I traveled to Rio de Janeiro and Bahia (in the northeast). After going back to São Paulo, I'm now completing my trip in Belém, Pará (in the north). In total, I've traveled around 8500 km, or over 5000 miles! Can you trace this journey on a map of Brazil with your finger? You'll see that I've covered a lot of ground.

How did I get around this week?:

I flew to get to Belém, and then I took a taxi to my current room where I'm staying. After that, I've been walking everywhere I need to go. It's difficult in this humid heat, but nothing too terrible. I am in the rainforest, afterall!

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

Even though I just arrived in Belém, I'm hoping to check out the natural parks and see the ports alongside the Amazon River.
