on Jan 12, 2016

Vilcabamba! The Valley of Longevity as the International Living magazine called it.

The Carnaval in Salvador, Brazil, is said to be the biggest party on earth. A lot of guides exist out there about how to have fun, survive, etc. So I thought, for my blog of Carnaval, I’ll help out those poor sods who desperately want to be grumpy stick-in-the-muds but don’t have anywhere to turn to amidst people that are hell bent on everyone having a fun time....
