BRAZIL! I had been dreaming of going for years. After the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, I had decided to make my dream come true in 2014: I would kill 2 birds with a …football! I’d get to visit Brazil and attend the most amazing football competition ever! Could I possibly throw in a bit of bicycle-touring on top of it all? Hell, why not?! Given my father’s love of the beautiful game, ... Read Full Entry

I am a 36-year old language teacher, currently working in Beijing. I was born in France but China has been my home for many years. I taught French and English in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, for 6 years. I never thought I would stay in China for such a long time but it’s been an amazing experience! Professionally speaking, teaching Chinese students is extremely rewarding. They are so hard-working and eager to learn new things. And then China… there aren’t enough words to describe this intricate (hence fascinating) country. “China is not to be liked or disliked: i... full info

better than expected
how nice to read only positive and its more beautiful than i imagined. but you were lucky guys. It can be different picture too..may be china for one aspect better, because less crime? seems wonderful to explore place by bike, probably, no better way, but still courageous, esp for your father. i would of thought bikes not very popular there too, but looking at that beautiful bike road along the beach..puts Eurovelo in Baltic countries to shame

Nice article. I hadn't such a nice experience in Beazil but I for sure remember the nice Brazilian music and the way they dance! Salvador is definitely on my list on where I want to go next time in Brazil! I was reading your post and I was hoping to read about the whole biking trip, hope a new blog about the rest of the trip will come soon ;)

I'm sorry to hear you didn't have such a good time in Bz.
May I ask what happened? We were extremely lucky with my Dad. Everyone was so nice to us. I will post a few other blogs on cycling Bahia + driving around the southern provinces

Hi, My card got copied in Brazil in an ATM and someone stole me some cash in a private house in Sao Paulo. However, it's not why I didn't enjoy Brazil so much, it's more because I found it very touristy and in comparison with Namibia, where I was just before Brazil, people were not that friendly. But I am sure that Bahia and other even less touristy provinces are better. Yes, we indeed have the same blog names almost ;) By the way, I am in China now and going to live there from next year on, so we will share even more ;)
