Rio Tudo Bom

http://www.riotudobom.com

I went to Rio de Janeiro for Carnaval in 2001. And I fell in love with an entire country.

In exploring Brasil, especially Rio de Janeiro, I've continually experienced a welcoming culture full of warm people, wonderful music and exquisite food.

And my friends from NY and I now joke that "I Love NY, but I Love Rio More."

If you'd like to visit this tropical paradise from November - March and you need a guide, an apartment or just a clue, I'm your Huckleberry!
