All the things!
-Beaches (Ipanema is my favorite followed by Copacabana)
-Attractions (Cristo Redentor or the Sugarloaf), but I recommend setting aside a whole day to do either of these
-Markets (Frida Hippie de Ipanema on Sundays is my fav)
-Escasaeia Selarón
-nightlife (Lapa is the best hands down)
-Food (try the many juice shops on literally every corner, street food in the markets and on the beaches, and the bbq style restaurants…so much good food in Brazil)

Additional tips:
-Don’t take/wear expensive things you aren’t ready to part with like jewelry and phones. Stay alert.
-Learn some Portuguese (English is not as widely spoken as it is in other metropolitan/tourist cities)
-Take a sarong, not a towel, for the beach
-Personally wouldn’t do a favela tour bc I don’t like to look at people’s homes and communities like they are animals in a zoo but lots of people love them

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

A few months ago, there were articles about how Juniper Park/TBWA’s hand sign saved the life of a kidnapped girl in a car. But the next day, reporters asked the guy who called the cops about it and he said he had no idea what the hand sign meant, he actually called the cops because the kidnapped girl kept mouthing “Help me.” I’ve heard of agencies exaggerating sales results or click through rates in case studies, I really hope JP/TBWA isn’t exaggerating about, literally, saving someone’s life.

I keep watching Schitt's Creek reruns now and then. It makes me feel warm and mushy, but also super lonely. So tired of being perpetually single. I know it's been posted about here a bunch of times before but it still sucks. Venting and knowing you're not alone, helps a tiny bit. =) Also does anybody else thing Patrick is essentially just a 'too good to be true' fantasy boyfriend Dan Levy dreamed up and put on the show?

There’s no worst feeling that to be rejected by someone you love. I gave my heart and time to someone I thought felt the same towards me for more than a year. They decided to end the relationship cause they didn’t feel the same, and even though I appreciate the honesty, it hurts a lot!
