My 15th stop on the world tour took me to the sandy beaches and impoverished areas of Brazil. However I wish I’d have made a different choice for this gorgeous country with such rich culture and intriguing history.

The story was good but didn’t reflect the cultural aspects of Brazil the way other world tour books have. Nevertheless, an interesting story.
