Sao Paulo has been great to me.  It’s a massive city and it has a lot of culture and class.  For being such a large city it’s people have been quite friendly and helpful.  Overall I would have loved to have spent a month there.  Unfortunatly my timing was not ideal for the weather so [...]

12 Midnight in Sao Paulo, Brazil.  I’m sitting inside of this cities largest dance club, Pacha. This place is gigantic. It’s separated into multiple rooms that all have different genres of electronic music ranging from deep house to trance. It reminds of massive raves I’ve been to in my college days. When you want to [...]

In Rio, I met a new friend named Steve that I’ve been hanging out with my other buddy Ken for the past week.  Steve said we should go check out Sao Paulo so I agreed.  Today we took off from Rio and landed in Sao Paulo 45 minutes later. 
This city is unlike any other I’ve ever [...]

Ok, this post is for all the guys that have commented and emailed me to share some of my beach photos with them.
So here they are, all shot from Copacabana beach or Ipanema beach in Rio.
Also of note, is that after picture 48 (right after the beach photos) , the  photos that follow are from the Ipanema Hippie [...]

So it’s Friday night in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  A city of ~10 million people.  What’s a guy to do?  I guess it’s time to get our groove on up in Club Help, one of the largest clubs in all of South America!
For a guy that’s lived in Las Vegas for the past 8 years, [...]

If you’re a vegetarian, you can skip this post because I’m about to take my fellow meat eaters on a carnivorous trek deep into the Brazilian steak house, Porcão.
An upscale all you can eat buffet, Porcão is close to the Sugar Loaf Mountains and directly on the water.  The ambiance is that of a fine dining restaurant [...]

I love to sample different beers wherever I go.  I consider myself a beer connoisseur but in reality I really just know what I like.  Some of my favorite beers from America are homebrews and smaller micro breweries like Michigan’s Bells that makes  Oberon Ale.
So you might be wondering, what’s up with the beer scene [...]

I just got the keys for my apartment in Brazil.  I rented a recently renovated studio for 1,900 Brazilian Reals.  That’s $1,055 for the month in USD or $35 a day!  This is much better than the $150/day hotel I was in that was small and older.  I have high-speed internet, a full-size fridge, new [...]

I woke from a deep sleep to the sound of my plane’s wheels screeching on the tarmac of Rio de Janeiro’s international airport. Peering out the window I could see that we had landed on a small strip of land that jutted out into the sea.  It was early in the morning, before the sunrise, [...]

This evening I started to think about my stay here in Panama.  It’s been over two weeks since I got here and my clothes could probably use a good cleaning.  But then I realized, how? 
So in a synaptic pulse that seemed like such a terrific idea at the time I headed for the bathroom.  I [...]
