OK, I know I am far behind in my updates. And there is no excuse…. So let’s get on with it with my trip to Gramado and Nova Petropolis, two cities about two hour’s drive from Porto Alegre. And what a different place it was. With Christmas over and done with, and for the first time in over 25 years not celebrated the event with family and friends in Australia, Carla decided that New Year’s... Read Full Entry

Well, I am just a normal male who likes a bit of adventure. To get out of the day-to-day trot and have a bit of fun. Born in Germany and living in OZ since 1987, I am very interested and involved in international politics. I am politically neither left nor right, and generally against labeling a persons political beliefs. I like my life, have great kids, and some of the best friends a human can have. And I like traveling, and that is what this blog is all about. Having stepped foot on all 7 continents, my goal is to have visited 100 countries before my body decides to pack it in........ ... full info

Thank you for your comment
Thank you for your comment. Always good to see that people actually read what I write here. The aim of the blog is not only to let my friends know what I am experiencing, but also to give people an idea on how other countries are. There is a big misconception out there about countries like Brazil. Brazil, Chile and Argentina are western countries, especially Argentina where you feel like you are in Europe. For example, before I came to Brazil I thought that everything is football, Samba and beach life here, but how wrong I was. Brazil is in many ways a modern and sophisticated society and when walking through cities like Sao Paulo or Porto Alegre you thing that you are somewhere in Spain or Portugal. And the people are as western as they get. But that is why I love traveling and experience the country for myself and make up my own mind. The media is just out there to sell an image of a country and not the true picture. But than truth is very much relative. Enjoy your travels and have an open mind. You never know what you will encounter. Best regards, Welf

Falling behind
Life, living and exploring can get in the way of publishing blogs but that is why they invented cafes and pubs. You can work on these in the evenings. Love your descriptions of the architecture and time with friends. Eager to read more.

I am catching up....
..... and just published another one from Brazil. One more to come from Uruguay and I am up to date........... I know what you mean with writing in cafes at night, but I am with a female and she needs some attention. We are off to Buenos Aires together for a week and than I am on my own again for a while. That should make things easier for updating..... And thank you for following my blog. Really appreciate it.......
