viajar com o mochilao. Depois de alguns dias volto para a "base", troco algumas roupas, etc. e continuo viajando com a quantia perfeita de peso. Agora, se voce nao tiver essa opcao e quiser viajar leve entao as dicas abaixo podem ser de ajuda para voce:Acessorios sao o segredo do sucesso. Joias e bijuterias, xales, cachecois, cintos, lencos, chapeus, acessorios pro cabelo, oculos de sol, relogios...a lista nao acaba! Levam pouco espaco e podem mudar totalmente um look do outro. Escolha roupas de cor neutras. Cores que combinam umas com as outras. Nada muito colorido, brilhante ou estampado. Preto, branco, marrons e cinzas sao uma boa aposta.Faca uma lista do que levar na bolsa e verifique-a duas vezes. Se voce for alguma coisa parecida comigo...tente tres vezes!Lembre que voce sempre pode comprar la. Nao leve roupas que voce talvez possa precisar. Na duvida, nao leve!Esqueca o papel. No nosso dia de hoje com tudo tao avancado e digital e uma perca de espaco trazer livros. Faca como eu fiz, baixe alguns em seu iPad (ou iPhone).Vista seu casaco mais pesado pra viajar. E se nao estiver frio o suficiente ainda, leve o pendurado no braco.Reserve um espaco na mala ou mochila para os souveniers.

All this while that I have been reading these amazing travel blogs there is always the "what to pack" post. Wanting to have my own "what to pack" post as well I decided that I would count every piece of clothing, footwear, bags and accessories I would be taking. Yet when I was done counting I thought "should I really post this?!!!" Everything that I have read until now are these posts of young, brave and wild women that travel with less than 10 kg on their backs, one of them
would only pack ONE pair of panties, another said the only makeup she would carry with her was a small mascara...well all this so at least you can see that I did get my fill of good advice.Do I follow it? NO WAY!To the contrary! After thinking of all the things I could leave home (twice!) I still ended up with my huge backpack AND suitcase. To make things a bit easier to understand I will state below the reasons why I need to take so many clothes:1) I am traveling in winter! The biggest coat I am taking uses just as much space in my bag that 10 normal T-shirts would normally take. Or so, winter clothes are bulky, heavy and naturally take a lot of space.2) I have a a) wedding b) Cmas dinner c) New Years Party to go to. And no, I don't want to wear the same dress for all three occasions. And yes, I do want to look good for these special dates. Plus I don't think I would wear the same dress I wore for a Christmas dinner for a wedding.3) The first place I will be is in PARIS!!! The center of fashion, style, beauty, well dressed women and fine looks altogether. All those that know me know that I am not a vanity queen or a girl that is always 100% concerned with her looks and the usual is that I do tend to be somewhat sloppy, refuse to wear makeup, forget all about my hair and nails every here and there...but this is Paris so for at least once I will put my sloppiness aside.4) Pictures. I wouldn't know if I could explain it as if it is for the pictures or for the memories...but this is how my mind thought about this one. 60 days. 1 coat. 1,000 pictures with the same coat. Boring.5) It's just me. This is the way I am and the way I have always been. I like traveling with everything I think I might need in the future. I can't remember once in my life that I have traveled light (aka. one pair of panties and a mascara!) and after all the reasons listed above I guess this trip also won't be the first time.One thing to leave clear though...I have a few places I can leave some bags/luggage as I will be coming back to that city so I won't always be weighed down by the absurd amount of things I am taking. The plan is leave some at the "base place" and travel around with only my backpack. As already planned, after a few days I return to "base place" and just exchange some clothes, etc. and continue traveling with a small amount of weight. If you don't have this option and do want to travel light then the few tips which are below might be of help:Accessories are the key. Different jewelry, scarves, belts, hats, sunglasses, hairbands, watches... the list is endless. These take up little space and make all the difference!Go for
neutral colors. Colors that match with each other and that won't clash. Black, white, browns and grey's are usually best.Make a packing list...and check it twice. If you are anything like me, try thrice!Remember that you can always buy it there. Do not take "just in case clothes." So if in doubt, don't!Forget the paper. In our now so high tech world it is a waste of space to bring books. Do like I did, download a few in your iPad (or iPhone). Wear your heaviest coat on the plane. Or if it is not cold enough yet, take it in your arms. Leave some extra space in your bag for the souvenirs.Despite all written above...here we go: The Moment of Truth:3 woolen hats1 pair of woolen gloves1 pair of black jeans1 pair of light blue jeans1 pair of dark blue jeans1 pair of black stretch pants1 pair of jean shorts2 woolen neck warmers1 pair of woolen arm warmer2 nude second skin shirts1 pair of grey tights1 pair of stockings1 pair of plain black tights1 pair of thick woolen black tights7 pairs of panties2 blazer tops1 black pencil skirt1 mini skirt (to wear on top of some tights of course!)1 leather skirt - ok, this is a first!1 skirt - normal I guess ;)1 long black skirt2 shorts1 sleevless vest2 sleeveless turtlenecks3 T-shirts1 sweater dress1 woolen dress2 comfy travel pants4 social shirts4 long sleeved shirts5 Sweaters - for a bit of a change in the browns, greys and blacks these sweaters are a bit more colourful: orange, pink, white, purple and black1 tweed coat2 large thick jackets1 pullover2 thin woolen coats2 long dresses3 fancy party dresses2 simple dresses5 purses1 small shoulder leather bag1 towel1 pair of boots1 shawl18 scarves - yep, this is NOT a joke!Plus...JewelryBeltsMakeup1 hair tiara2 hair flowers (as shows in the picture)
Lembrando a todos que meu blog e escrito em tanto Ingles como Portugues. A versao em Portugues segue logo abaixo. Remembering all my blog is in English and Portuguese. Scroll down if you prefer to read the Portuguese version.My big dream trip is done and now back to real life and planing the next one (of course!) but my promise to write all I have been through and the many stories and adventures lived continues.I wrote quite a bit on my handy and faithful iPad and have a TON of pictures taken as well so it wont be all that hard to remember what went happened these last two months. Whatever that I wrote down though "at the moment" I will just type it and leave it as is it was written at that moment. The things I didn't write while I was "at it" I will narrate it to you myself counting on what is still kept in my memory; and in my opinion this should work out fine and be a good enough way to tell my travel tales.And so here it goes...starting off with what I wrote the night I was traveling off to Europe!20/11/2012Tonight is the big night!!! Will be finally entering that plane and in a few hours waking up to a whole brand new world in the other side of the country. Even now as I am writing this I can't really believe this is happening and my head still tells me that I will be waking up to my big fluffy violet covers hugging my old worn out pillow and sun shining through my window. But the ticket in my hand tells me a whole different story which for many reasons sounds a whole lot better than the one I just described above.Nonetheless since I will be heading off to Europe tonight I decided I would write down my itinerary of when and where I will be going once there. Not forgetting though that flexibility is on the top of my list so everything can change!!! So here it goes:21st - 27th of November - PARIS!!! The city of Light!Here I plan to:Have my first couchsurfing experience as a "surfer" - not a host. Practice my FrenchAdapt to the time zone and amazing drop in the weather.

Tudo que foi escrito "no momento" (quando eu estava na Europa) eu somente irei re-datilografar aqui e deixar da mesma forma que foi escrito naquele momento. O que nao escrevi durante minha viagem irei narrar para voces tudo o que ficou na memoria; e na minha opiniao isso deveria funcionar bem e ser uma forma boa suficiente para contar minhas historias de viagem.Entao aqui vai....comecando com o que eu escrevi a noite que estava viajando para Europa!Hoje a noite e a grande noite!!! Finalmente estarei entrando naquele aviao e em algumas horas estarei acordando para um mundo novinho em folha no outro lado do planeta.

Mas ja a passagem de aviao me diz uma historia totalmente differente que por varias razoes parece bem melhor do que o que acabei de descrever acima.Mesmo assim como estarei indo para a Europa hoje a noite decidi que escreveria meu itinerario de quando e onde estarei indo uma vez la. Nao esquecendo claro que flexibilidade esta no topo da minha lista entao tudo pode mudar!!! Aqui vai:21 - 27 de Novembro - PARIS!!!

After a hell of a night partying nothing better than a good nights rest. The plan for today was none other than visiting the Eiffel Tower - I was so excited and anxious to be standing in front of one of the world's seven wonders that I could barely think much that morning. After a quick breakfast and bundling up as best I could we were on our way. Since we left quite late we decided that our plan for the day would be Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and head straight to Cite de la Musique to meet up with one of Richi's Italian friends for a music concert. Because we were pressed for time the option of coming back home before going to the concert was null so I decided against taking my professional camera (I had no idea how shows were in France, but imagining they were similar to the live music concerts I had been to in Brazil the last thing I wanted was for the camera to get smashed or robbed). Until today I regret such decision as I missed out big time on taking pictures of such an first time happening. Richi did take his camera but being totally honest there is just no comparison (not to say that I wasn't ever able to get those pictures and all I have are some bad quality ones I downloaded from his Facebook). I also tried getting some taken with my iPhone but these are also real bad resolution. Despite the bad decision in going "camera-less" the experience in itself felt as if I were waking up in a dream. The subway doors opened and we just followed the gushing crowd (which seemed to all be going in the same direction). Climbing up the steps into fresh air, less than 300 meters walk and we had arrived at the Trocadero.It was there and here was I - only me and it. That huge, gorgeous tower looming over top, staring me straight in the eyes.The feelings were indescribable and just by looking at the faces of those around me I knew the feeling was mutual.Fairy tale dream come true - I stopped by and watched, and gazed, and deep inside I knew I was on top of the world just by standing face to face with that breath-taking tower. A tower made of steel and lace. A monument which was so much more than what the eye could see.In front of it couples with dreamy eyes, teenagers going wild, lone travelers and so many lovers fulfilling their romantic dream. And of course cameras - loads of them - everywhere. Clicking incessantly, non stop, at everything and everywhere.The most amazing thing about being in the Trocadero is the wave of feelings that surrounds each square meter of it. Some people shed tears of gratefulness, others are just jumping up and down for joy, some youngsters are holding hands and dancing around in merriment while just opposite a Chinese woman stands still in awe barely being able to breathe. There is
even a groom and bride in full attire posing for pictures with their family and what it seems to be best men and bridesmaids - the whole area is filled in this positive and vibrant static which automatically penetrates you as well and you can't help but feel like as if you are in the middle of a dream. After a few minutes of silence and just grinning to one another me and Richi joined all the many other tourists in taking pictures, walking around and admiring the world's largest romantic symbol. One of the reasons I love the view from the Trocadero so much is because of the grandeur the whole surrounding inspires. You get not only to see the tower looming ahead but the gardens, architecture, centerpiece fountain, carousels, vendors stalls and all the hustle and bustle in between them. Today I have been to the Trocadero over five times but every single time I get the same impression: there is nowhere better to view the main site in Paris. As mentioned above we were pressed for time and so being skipped entering the humongous line to go up the Eiffel Tower - that would just have to wait for another day. And now for another typical tourist story. We decided to make our way towards the Arc de Triomphe, opened up our subway map, located the first "Arc" that we saw and took the first subway that would take us to it. After exchanging subways twice (all part of getting around in Paris subway stations) we finally arrive the "Grande Arc" (as was written in the map). We walk out of the subway station and are faced with a huge marble Arc looming over both of us.- This isn't it. Richi says- No it sure isn't, but it can't be that far as well. Let me ask someone how to get there.To our total shock the two young girls we asked started cracking up in our faces as they told us we were at the wrong arc - instead walking less than a kilometer from the Eiffel Tower to the Champs Elysees where the Arc de Triomphe is situated we took a huge trip all the way to the other side of the city and were now at none other but the Grande Arche de La Defense. We both had a great big laugh as well at our tourist stupidity but I knew Richi felt bad as he had wanted so badly to see the Arc de Triomphe and the next day he was making his way back to Germany in the morning and there would be no time to go anywhere. Now for me it was a definite plus as I still had quite a few days left in Paris and was sure I would get to see it sooner or later - and so getting to know the Arche de la Defense was something new and unexpected.A little bit of history on how the Arc came to be: A great national design competition was launched in 1982
as the initiative of French president Francois Mitterrand. Danish architect Johann Otto von Spreckelsen (19291987) and Danish engineer Erik Reitzel (the Danes are just everywhere, hah!) designed the winning entry to be a 20th-century version of the Arc de Triomphe: a monument to humanity and humanitarian ideals rather than military victories. The construction of the monument began in 1985 and was completed in 1989. From what I later discovered is that in the past there was a restaurant, computer museum and people could go up to the viewing deck but because of an elevator accident (in which no one was injured) they closed down all the facilities and now the public can't go up anymore. A pity as the monument is as tall as the Eiffel Tower so my guess is the view must be magnificent!My favorite part of visiting La Defense was the Christmas market which was going on right beneath the Grande Arche. Decorated like a cozy Christmas village with wooden stalls which stand welcoming vendors glad to show you their many products. It's quite spacey so it doesn't feel so crowded and not being situated near the main sightseeing attractions decreases the number of tourists considerably which made it feel less commercial than when I went to the Christmas Market in the Champs Elysees (but which I still loved nonetheless). The cool air,the lights lights lit up, the hustle and bustle in the kiosks, the goods made from all over the world and the holiday decorations and greenery simply made it in a Christmas Wonderland. After walking around we entered a food stall for a late lunch/early dinner and I got to experience the famous vin chaud (hot wine with spices) and bread raclette which is just pure hot cheesy goodness that melts into your mouth. Ahhh, to die for!!!Next stop was Cite de la Musique - at Hoche station and right next to Tom's place. By now Richi was becoming a pro in how to get around using the subway station while I was yet still pretty much in the dark. But every time we were in a tight spot or not quite sure what way to go Richi would prod on towards asking someone directions in French - well, at least in that I was better than him :PAs we arrived a few minutes early we entered a cafe to warm up as the temperature outside was at this time too cold for my poor Brazilian body who was not in the least used to the low degrees. One thing I love about many cafes in Paris are:- water is always for free. As long as you order at least one item from the menu you can always ask for tap water (which is totally safe to drink) and won't have to pay for it.- when you order tea it isn't only a cup of tea but yes a little kettle of warm water in which you can fill up to two or even three cups for a nice, long, warm drink.Warm and ready we went to
