2015 || A Look Back
Forty-eight weeks, 5 continents, 38 countries & territories. Hundreds of good pictures, thousands of bad ones. The epic year that was.
Brazil
From the vast Amazon Basin in the north to the hedonism of the flamboyant city carnivals, seeing all there is to see in Brazil, Latin America’s largest country, would take a lifetime. Maybe two. Here’s a bite-sized sampling for starters.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Iconic & alluring with world-renowned landmarks & place names. Yes Rio is cool, Rio is beautiful, but it’s not the utopia it seems from elevated vantage points.
Porto Alegre, Brazil
The capital of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, a colourful European-influenced city renowned for its friendly gaucho hospitality.
