New Years in Sao Paulo

Cheers from Sao Paulo

Each Monday I share a weekly post of events, activities and parties that will happen in Boston, but Sergio and I are wrapping up a month-long vacation  in South America and this weekly post is temporarily on hold until we return.

My weekly “What’s Happening” and “What’s Happening this Weekend” posts will return next week, but until then, follow me on Instagram where you can see photos from Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.

Feliz Ano Novo!

This week on Instagram: christmas4you1

Considering it is Christmas day it seemed like this account would be appropriate to feature. Even though Sergio and I are in the Southern Hemisphere and it is the start of summer here in Brazil, the images shared on this account are much more how I envision traditional Christmas holidays.

Having said that, I’m really enjoying the warm weather and longer days here in Brazil and prefer to look at these photos but as we get ready to come home this serves as a good reminder that winter has arrived.

A very Brazilian Christmas

Sexy, Brazilian, HunkFELIZ NATAL

Each Monday I share a weekly post of events, activities and parties that will happen in Boston, but Sergio and I are on vacation in Brazil for the Christmas holiday and this weekly post is on hold while we enjoy summer in Brazil.

Until then feel free to follow me on Instagram where I’m sharing pictures and stories of our travels through Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.

Happy Holidays

This week on Instagram: visitbrasil

BrazilSergio and I will be arriving in Brazil soon to spend Christmas with Sergio’s Mom in Belo Horizonte. The photo above is actually from Arraial Do Cabo, a small town about two hours by bus or car from Rio de Janeiro. When I first met Sergio he had a beach house not far from here and we would visit this picturesque town frequently.

This Instagram account is managed by Brazil’s tourism board but you can submit your own photos if you give the account permission to post and if you use the hashtags #lovebrazil or #visitbrasil.

Argentina why do you have so many oddly named shops

ARGENTINA, WHAT’S UP WITH ALL THE ODDLY NAMED STORES?

Each Monday I share a weekly post of events, activities and parties that will happen in Boston, but Sergio and I are on vacation. In lieu of activities happening this week you get to see all the oddly named retail stores I kept coming across (not to mention WiFi passwords), while I was in Argentina.

This week I’m off to Uruguay. I wonder what surprises that country may have? You can follow me on Instagram where I’m sharing pictures and stories about our travels in South America.

This week on Instagram: menofcolour

handsome, hunk, hairy chest, black man, man of colorI’m nearly certain I’ve featured this account previously but think it is worth sharing again for those of you looking for a quality Instagram account that is certain to distract and encourage you to get to the gym during this hectic holiday season.

Bringing out the big guns

handsome hunkI’ve brought out the big guns to get your attention!

Each Monday I share a weekly post of events, activities and parties that will happen in Boston, but Sergio and I are on vacation in Argentina and this weekly post is temporarily on hold while we enjoy summer in South America.

My weekly “What’s Happening” and “What’s Happening this Weekend” posts will return in January when we return to Boston. Until then, follow me on Instagram where I’m sharing pictures of our travels in Argentina.

This week on Instagram: nigellalawson

nigella lawsonNigella Lucy Lawson is an English food writer and cooking show host who I’ve enjoyed watching on television for years. She is the kind of person who people tend to either adore or abhor – I fall into the former rather than the latter category and thought that since the holiday season is now in full swing it made sense to showcase an accomplished cook who’s images are all professionally produced and will be sure to entertain and entice.

Below is a photo from a shoot Nigella did last Christmas. One can expect some delicious photos this holiday season so only follow if you can handle temptation.

We are about to begin quite an adventure traveling to Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil over the next few weeks.

Through my posts on Instagram you can join us as we visit Mendoza, Cordoba and Buenos Aires in Argentina, Colonia del Sacramento and Puente del Este in Uruguay and finally Belo Horizonte and Sao Paulo Brazil.

Happy Thanksgiving

Rio de Janeiro BrazilIt is Thanksgiving in the US, and I am spending the day with Sergio, my parents and a good friend in Portsmouth, NH. I want to wish everyone celebrating this holiday a relaxing and fun day. The photo above dates back to Thanksgiving 2015 when we were visiting Rio de Janeiro with friends.

This week on Instagram: pabloranea

Pablo Ranea, Argentina chefThanksgiving is tomorrow so it seems only fitting that I would feature a master chef who can tempt you with both his handsome photos like the one I’ve pulled from chef Pablo’s IG account as well as some of his delicious creations.

Chef Pablo Ranea is from Argentina and I hope to be able to connect with him next month when Sergio and I head to Mendoza, Argentina. Lately, Ranea has made a name for himself with his pop-up restaurants in Argentina and here in the United States. Check out the photo below from his dinner in California this past September. Feel free to follow his account which is full of eye-popping meals and his travels. You can learn more about Pablo Ranea, here.

This week on Instagram: visitargentina

Argentina, Buenos AiresIn a little less than a month Sergio and I will be returning to Argentina so I started following this Instagram account run by the country’s tourism board. The photos showcase the beauty of Patagonia, famous attractions like Iguazu Falls as well as city life in Buenos Aires, Cordoba and elsewhere.

The photos from this account are definitely getting me excited about our pending trip. Have you ever been to Argentina before? If so, feel free to share a few tips in the comment section of this post. I’m definitely open to suggestions on what to do and where to go.

Michael Walter , handsome, male modelMichael Walter is the man behind the Instagram account scooby75. He describes himself as a model and Swiss entrepreneur, but you can learn a bit more about Michael on his website here.

Michael’s Instagram account is filled with photos from model shoots and his travels. I can’t help feeling like I may have met Michael who looks very familiar and happens to reference Boston in his IG profile.

This week on Instagram: destsalem

Salem MassachusettsConsidering the time of year, it makes sense that I share a little love for Salem, MA which is the “it” place to be each Halloween. While locals will be quick to point out that this little New England village, rich with American history has more to offer than witch trials and eerie (possibly haunted) homes, at this time of year it seems appropriate to focus on this town’s notorious history.

The town is very picturesque and easy to get to by boat in the summer months or by commuter rail from North Station if you don’t have a car. It is definitely worthy of a visit and can offer some good seaside dining options.
