From Sequins to Sloths: A Wild Ride Through Northern Brazil’s Best-Kept Secrets

Carnaval Bahia Brazil

When inspiration stagnates, sometimes all you need is an unexpected journey. Join me and Jay as we embrace the vibrant rhythm of Salvador, Bahia, where Carnival is an explosion of joy and music. Then, we find peace in the dunes of Lençóis Maranhenses, a desert of wonders, before getting lost in the magic of the Amazon at Anavilhanas Jungle Lodge. From encounters with dolphins to mouth-watering meals, this adventure reminded us that true marvels can be found in every corner of the world—and often, right at home.

The Rainforest That Outcoded Me

As a retired MD from Google, I found myself in the Daintree Rainforest, where the relentless push of progress faded into the background. Guided by a local Aboriginal, I discovered the spiritual significance of this ancient forest, where cycads have thrived for over 200 million years. Each step felt like a journey through time, revealing a world that simply exists—timeless and enduring. In this living museum of Earth’s early life, I learned that true wisdom lies not in innovation, but in reconnecting with nature’s profound past. Join me as I explore the beauty and lessons of the Daintree.
