Adventures and culture for curious people!
I was one of the volunteers of the Olympic Games Rio 2016.
Yes, I know, everyone had something to criticize these Olympics. I myself don’t agree with much (probably all that you did not agree). But it has always been my dream to participate in some form of the Olympic Games.
Then in the second half of 2014, when they opened the volunteers’ inscriptions, I quickly went to the internet fill my form. And the saga began…

We are in the last week of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and I was lucky enough to receive some tickets from friends to watch some games, which was a different experience from being a volunteer.
Because I read a lot of reports from other people I’ll tell you first about my point of view of how it is to be a spectator. I thought: why not writing my own? It counts, right?

The Triftbrücke, or Trift Bridge (brücke means bridge in German) was one of the most beautiful and most frustrating hikes that I did until now. And I’ll explain why.

The Caminho do Sertão, more than 160km (100mi) hike in the sertão — a part of Brazil full of land, few people living and really hot — started on a Sunday, on July 2nd. And it started on the hard mode: 30km (18mi) from Sagarana to Morrinhos Village,on the other side of Urucúia River, in Minas Gerais, where Guimarães Rosa writes his books.
As the Olympic Games start today, I thought we could get in the Olympic mood and talk about the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. Shall we?
