First Time in Brazil: São Paulo & Fortaleza

I had always wanted to visit Latin America, and in November, I finally got the chance to make it happen. Brazil was my first destination in this part of the world. I spent 10 days exploring the country, experiencing its culture, trying local food and enjoying its beautiful beaches. During my trip, I visited Fortaleza and São Paulo — two very different cities that offered a glimpse into Brazil’s diversity.
