The journey to meet Brazil has officially begun for me (this country is so big that it is like having a lot of mini countries inside of one).

As I don’t have (for now) a penny to finance this adventure, I must warn you that my plans will be executed from the “comfort” of my puff, while I can’t afford a new chair. But what the heck, I’ll make the experience be like if I was there (the lies we tell ourselves, right?).

To make these “virtual trips” less humiliating, my intention is to register everything like if it was a fictional travel diary, but with real places and real prices (and real weather) - with the money from these “diaries”, hopefully I’ll be able to make real trips.

Fingers crossed.
