Sergio was an amazing host! He pulled out a map of Brazil and share with me recommendations of things to do during my trip. His apartment is so beautiful and quiet. I felt very safe. I spent one whole day up in the living room enjoying the view. Sergio is very smart and kind and made me feel right at home away from home. His mom, sister, and niece Lolo are so sweet and felt loved and right at home. Sergio has many amazing stories, I'm waiting on his book release LOL! I learned how to make Caipirinhas and I plan to make some for my friends and family! Sad my trip ended so quickly but without a doubt, I will come back to Rio and stay with Sergio!
