On the 14th of August, 2019, I decided to write about what happened last week, when Betina and I got sore throat. We believe it happened because we were a bit careless with our life-style: cold drinks contrasting the hot weather, too cold air conditioning and hitting us directly at the hostel, wind, river bathing, many walks under a really hot sun, etc. Our bodies asked for a break. Bê fell ill first and, the…

The 50 days we stayed at Tranquil Pines Camping, Koppányszántó, Tolna, Hungary, were so nice it couldn’t be different when we had to say goodbye: tears rolling down for sure!

We had scheduled with our next host we would stay the entire October/2018 there, helping him with his daily chores (basically…
After 9 hours and a half of a turbulent flight, with the right to fainting episodes and medical requests on board, the last step before we could say that we were officially on Portuguese grounds was still missing: go through immigration. Even so, Bê was already thrilled to see, during the landing, places she had not seen for eight years when she did an interchange in Portugal through Univates, a Brazilian University. The huge queue…
One question we are often asked is “How do you do with transportation?” In this article, we talk a little about airline tickets, tools and techniques that we use to choose the deal that best fits the assumptions of our trip, especially the fact that it is a low-cost trip. “And how do you find cheap airline tickets?” The answer to that question could well be as simple as “go to site X, do a…
