Oh, that’s a great question, because recently I’ve been to Brazil and that trip was amazing. And I had a great experience. I was in Rio de Janeiro and firstly I took a really long flight. I had one layover in Paris and it was a really fast layover because I only had one hour to get off the plane and to get through customs and then to get on the next plane. And I was so nervous that I’m not going to make it. So I was running at the airport, literally running. But yeah, it turned out to be good. I didn’t stay in line at the customs, so I got on the plane and then I had an 11 hour flight. To Brazil and it was my longest flight, but it was okay. And I was visiting my boyfriend who lives in Rio de Janeiro. So we did some sightseeing, we visited the Christchurch Dimmer statue. We hiked twice, we visited favelas. So it was so unique experience for me because I’ve never been to South America. And honestly, I was really tired and I didn’t have a vacation in probably 2 years. So it was amazing to have just 2 weeks of relaxing and lying on the beach and sunbathing, drinking cocktails. We ate in really good restaurants and I really liked Brazilian culture and Brazilian cuisine.

Oh, that's a great question because recently I've been to Brazil, and that trip was amazing. I had a great experience. I was in Rio de Janeiro, and firstly, I took a really long flight. I had one layover in Paris, and it was a really fast layover because I only had one hour to get off the plane, get through customs, and then get on the next plane. I was so nervous that I wouldn't make it, so I was running at the airport, literally running. But it turned out to be good. I didn't stay in line at customs, so I got on the plane, and then I had an 11-hour flight to Brazil. It was my longest flight, but it was okay. I was visiting my boyfriend who lives in Rio de Janeiro. We did some sightseeing; we visited the Christ the Redeemer statue. We hiked twice and visited favelas. It was such a unique experience for me because I'd never been to South America. Honestly, I was really tired, and I hadn't had a vacation in probably two years. It was amazing to have just two weeks of relaxing, lying on the beach, sunbathing, and drinking cocktails. We ate in really good restaurants, and I really liked Brazilian culture and Brazilian cuisine.
