Brazil-Poverty

Brazil's beautiful landscape and unbelievable love of soccer is not the only reason I am recommending a trip there.  A trip to this country will be an eye-opening experience to anyone on the subject of poverty.  It is true that we have some poverty here in America, but there is nothing like the favelas that can be found in Brazil.  One room houses stacked on top of each other filling up the side of a large hill with no electricity or running water are called favelas, and they are what hundreds of thousands of Brazilians call home.  The sight of this is breath taking, and it is something that truly has to be seen first hand.

Brazil-Landscape

The diverse landscape of Brazil is another very attractive feature to this county.  This country contains the third largest city in the world in Rio de Janeiro, the largest rain forest in the world in the Amazon, and many beautiful beaches and mountains.  Taking a ride down the Amazon river through the lush forest filled with countless types of wildlife is an experience that should not be passed up.  The excitement of one of Brazils many big cities like Rio or Sao Paulo is just as breathtaking, especially when it can be compared to a trip in the Amazon.  These are two completely different worlds that are somehow contained in the same beautiful country, and I can't recommend taking a trip there any more highly.

Brazil-Soccer (Futbol) Country

To begin this blog, the first place I would like to recommend a trip to is the beautiful country of Brazil.  Any true American soccer fan would be amazed at the true love for the game that this country displays.  There is not an empty, flat patch of land that is not decorated with soccer goals.  Empty lots, alley ways, and even busy street medians are constantly filled with some form of a ball, two goals, and very skilled players.  Each city has multiple professional teams, and seats are hard to come by at all of those games.  The World Cup is treated as a national holiday with all schools and stores closing so the whole country can support their national team win another championship.  This soccer crazed nation is surely a sight to see.
