 9 months in South America and North America

When I was in my early 30's, I made a promise to myself : "Girl, by 35, I want you to do be in a place that you would have chosen, not imposed on by the routine ! It can be a new home, a new city, a new job, but it needs to make you happy and you need to enjoy your life !". It is only lately that I have remembered that promise... I'm now 35 and I have realised that I'm the only one responsible for my own happiness. So I have quit my comfortable job in London and decided to go on another adventure...

​On parle souvent du carnaval de Rio de Janeiro, mais durant cette semaine folle, c'est tout le pays qui est en fête. Les plus célèbres, hormis Rio, sont ceux de Recife, d'Olinda et de Salvador. Fêter le carnaval au Brésil, c'est le rêve de beaucoup, et je fais partie de ces chanceux ! Je dirais même que j'ai été doublement chanceuse car j'ai pu fêter le début du carnaval à Recife et Olinda et la fin du carnaval à Rio de Janeiro pour la parade finale (prochain article) !

La musique tambourinante, les gens heureux, les costumes inventifs, les danses survoltées, les concerts en feu : l'ambiance est MAGIQUE !

                                                        -----------------------------------------------

​We often hear about the carnival of Rio de Janeiro, but during this crazy week, it's the whole country which is celebrating. The most well known, apart from Rio, are those of Recife, Olinda and Salvador. Celebrating the carnival in Brazil, it's the dream of a lot of people and I'm part of those lucky ones ! I would even say that I was double lucky as I celebrated the beginning of the Carnival in Recife and Olinda, and the end of the carnival in Rio de Janeiro for the final parade (next article) !

The drumming musique, the happy people, the inventive fancy-dresses, the supercharged dances, the gigs in fire : the atmosphere is MAGIC !
