BRAZIL
Country Overview:
“A vibrant country with a love for sport, food, and a desire to live life to the fullest”
After a year in China, I traveled to Porto Alegre, Brazil to go to the 2014 World Cup with my friend Carlos from EWU. It was such an incredible experience getting to attend such an iconic event in a country where football (soccer) is treated as a religion. The food was amazing, the girls were pretty, and the spirit of competition and sport were widespread.

Finally in Brazil. Watched Argentina beat Bosnia last night and looking forward to Germany stomping Portugal today. I should have known they were playing before I wore my Germany jersey through the Portugal airport and didn’t understand all the dirty looks I was getting.
