#EatRioLoves – Things to love about Rio
#EatRioLoves? What’s that all about? Well I’ll get to that in a moment, but first of all: Hello readers! I just took at look at the blog section of the Eat Rio site and realised that I hadn’t written any posts for a loooong time – it’s high time for an update.
The downturn in international travel was a total nightmare for my little company, but looking on the bright side, it gave me time to stop, take a step back and reassess a few things. There was time to think about how my team and I could make Eat Rio bigger and better when tourism got going again; time to plan other projects that might be interesting/rewarding; time to hang out with my puppy:
Things to love about Rio
During the downtime, when I wasn’t reeling from the sheer cuteness of my little canine friend, I also found myself thinking about Rio: what does this city mean to me? What made me want to live here? And after 11 years in the Cidade Maravilhosa, what are the things that I still really love about this place?
There are plenty of things I liked about Rio from the get-go: the dramatic mountains; the beautiful forest located right there in the middle of city; the punchy caipirinhas seemingly available on every street corner; lazy, sunny days boozing on the beach.
