Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

At the copa… copacabanaaa!

It doesn’t get more iconic than the Cristo Redentor statue in Rio de Janeiro. 

But more than the iconic statues and songs, there’s a very warm, and geniunely happy vibe that you immediately feel in the beach streets of Rio, particularly that of Copacabana. 

I’m not a fan of city beaches – but Rio is very very special. In the city where acai berries are sold right next to caipirinha with samba playing on the streets, it’s very hard to stay down on any given day.
