Top 5 Best Beaches in Rio de Janeiro
I spent the last year living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and have had the opportunity to experience many beautiful beaches in and around the city. The beach culture in Rio is awesome and it is transparent in all facets of life here, especially on Sundays! That is the day that many locals head down to […]
Beach Park Adventures in Fortaleza
Beach Park is Brazil’s largest water park and you’d be a fool to think I’d come this far and not go visit. I consider myself a water park aficionado, and when I found out that Beach Park was just a short drive away from downtown Fortaleza, I was all in! With that scheduled for day […]
Pantanal Wildlife & Piranha Fishing
As mentioned in the video, The Pantanal wetlands weren’t even on my radar until I arrived in Brazil. Friends at the tourism board suggested I visit the region, so after a little research, I caught a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Campo Grande for a four-day adventure. Campo Grande is the southern gateway city […]
Beaches & Buggies in Natal Brazil
Natal is my favorite city of the four major northeastern Brazilian cities (Fortaleza, Recife, Salvador), because it seems the cleanest, safest and most visually stimulating them all. While Salvador reigns supreme as the culture capital, Natal is undeniably the epicenter of an endless supply of ridiculously beautiful beaches. If you look at a map of […]
Things To Do in Sao Paulo, Brazil
São Paulo, Brazil is the largest city in South America and known for its incredible food, buzzing nightlife and never-ending high-rises.

Salvador Brazil in Photos
Traveling to Salvador, Brazil was a once in a lifetime experience that gave me the opportunity to see and experience a different side of Brazilian culture and history. I ate, I explored and I took a lot of photos of Salvador in the process. Here are a few of my favorite snaps from a week […]
Salvador Brazil: Capoeira and Culture
Salvador is the cultural capital of Northeastern Brazil and heart of Afro-Brazilian heritage. Like the wrinkles that shape an old man’s smile, the city is an incredible blend of beauty, history and grittiness. I had the opportunity to spend a few days exploring Salvador with a local friend, and absolutely loved it’s character and diversity. […]
Rio de Janeiro in Motion
Rio de Janeiro is such an amazingly photogenic city that I decided to change things up and try my hand at a little tilt-shift video I call “Rio in Motion.” Over the course of the past eight months of living in Rio, I’ve gathered these shots from all over the city by hiking, climbing and […]
Brazil Tourism Partnership Goes Live
Months ago I told you all about a T2T partnership with the Brazilian Tourism Board and I’m so happy to finally announce that we’re now live! Although things have been relatively quiet here on Tourist 2 Townie, I promise it hasn’t been the result of a lack of content. I’m currently traveling through Northeastern Brazil […]
