Another sleepless night and to go with that bloody Mosquitos were biting me all night. I had planned to meet up with a Couchsurfer by the name of Lara today (who is from Salvador) and go check out São Joaquim outdoor fruit and vegetable market. So in the morning I did my exercises, ate some of Brazils delicious fruit and sent out a few couchrequests both for Salvador and French Guiana. Eliane then returned and we had a really nice chat - using google translate a...

Unfortunately my sleepless nights and my 2am wake-up has followed me to Salvador. To go with waking up constantly during the night I also had ants crawling all over me and one of the worst couches to sleep on ever - with beams sticking up and piercing into my back.

Basically all the things, routines...

I have decided that instead of getting older I am going to get younger (something travel allows me to do) so instead of going to 29 I am going back to 27. I started the day again very early 2:40am with a big bowl of Acai blended with banana, and mixed with dried fruits/nuts, granola and honey - and Yes it is even better then it sounds; to say I am addicted to this delicious sweet smoothie is an understatement but I f...
