Surviving São Paulo's Public Transportation

São Paulo, the largest city in the Southern Hemisphere, can be very overwhelming especially when one has to figure out how to get from one region to another. Luckily, the city has a pretty good public transportation system that is usually reliable and efficient.

Camping in Joshua Tree National Park

Over Spring Break we decided to take advantage of our 3 days off to pack up the car with our newly acquired camping gear and head out to the desert for our first ever camping experience together. Only 3 short hours away by car, Joshua Tree is known for it's namesake, the Joshua Trees, and it's beautiful camping trails and rock climbing opportunities in the harsh desert environment. With many different areas set aside for campers, Joshua Tree National Park is perfect for an outdoor getaway.

Como usar AirBnb para completar sua próxima viagem para Paris

Às vezes, AirBnB pode ser um pouco complicado de usar tendo em vista os milhões de apartamentos, quartos e casas no mundo inteiro disponíveis para alugar. Quando começamos a pesquisar hotéis para a nossa viagem pela Europa, não achamos nenhum hotel barato e que também fosse de boa qualidade. Nós até tentamos usar AirBnB em uma viagem mas nunca tínhamos tempo de olhar todas as opções disponíveis e sempre tivemos receio de ser um mal negócio. Com isso em mente nós conversamos com nossas amigas que moram em Paris e pedimos algumas dicas por onde começar.

24 Hours Series: Los Angeles

Living only 3 hours away from Los Angeles, every time someone comes to visit, we always make a trip up to Tinseltown for a day of sightseeing. With Hollywood and Santa Monica pier being two of the most recognizable attractions in the USA, Los Angeles is a perfect place to visit for anyone looking to check things off of a travel bucket list.

Mr. & Mrs. Pereira Elope in Paris Video Preview

Hello everyone!

As you may have heard, this past November Luiz and I got married in Paris, France. Instead of emptying our pockets to pay for a videographer we decided that we wanted to create our own video so that we would have something more personal to document our memories with. That being said, we wanted to share it with all of you first! So here is the little preview/rough draft video of our wedding in Paris.

48 hours in Munich, Germany

When trying to plan our trip we had a hard time trying to figure out how many days to spend in each city since we had such a short amount of time to divide up. Unfortunately, that meant cutting our time in Munich, our stopover point between Paris and Prague, down to just 48 hours.With such a tight window to fit everything in that we wanted to see in Munich, we narrowed down a list of all of the things that we couldn't to miss so that we could make the most of our time.

Tips for using AirBnB in Paris

AirBnB can sometimes be a difficult site to use with seemingly endless options of private apartments, rooms, and townhouses spread out across some of the world's top tourist destinations. When we first started planning our trip to Paris we checked out hotels and found nothing that really spoke to us. Having always wanted to try AirBnb we searched tirelessly to find the perfect place for our one week long Parisian getaway.

Restaurant Week San Diego 2014

One thing that I've learned since being back in the USA after more than two years abroad, is that you never really stop traveling. Once you have experienced the feeling of your heart fluttering when you try something for the first time, or go somewhere new, there is no going back.
For that very reason, I have created a list of everything that I must try (food-wise) as well as everything that I must do for the first time while in San Diego so that I never have to lose that feeling and luckily for me, I have made some amazing friends here who feel the same way!
So to begin this post, I just want to thank the lovely Melissa of http://dreamitjustdoit.wordpress.com/ for experiencing restaurant week with me here in San Diego, CA for the first time!

Griffith Observatory: Los Angeles, California

Sitting high above the city in Los Angeles, California, the Griffith Observatory is a must visit for anyone in the city. With a stunning view of both the city down below and the Hollywood sign, that alone is enough to make the trip up a memorable one; but when you add in a world class observatory with science and space related exhibits, it becomes both educational and awe-inspiring.
