Have you ever dreamed of staying in a cottage located in a tropical location? What about Brazil? Yes, a cottage by the beach in Brazil sounds pretty good. Many people think “Rio de Janeiro” when someone says “Brazil” and even though Rio is a gorgeous city to visit, the real great places to vacation in Brazil are located in remote areas. One such place is Arraial d’Ajuda, Bahia, Brazil. That’s a place I’d really recommend anyone to go. I personally haven’t gone there yet, but my sister had her honeymoon there and swears by it. Arraial d’Ajuda is a very small town with unspoiled beaches, very friendly people and super fresh food. The weather is also amazing! Very warm, but the ocean breeze and the warm waters are always there to cool you down.
When I first saw this place in Brazil I thought about sharing it right away. I think it has so many great qualities you can find in a Brazilian home. It has exotic woods, color, openness. The views of the forest are just beautiful. It’s almost as if you’re in a tree house.
Take a look and let me know if you’d like to take some days off in this place!

While there, why not learn some “lambada” moves? Lambada is a fun and fast dance. I have to say this; lambada is great to make you burn some calories, be in shape and feel happy!
Look Up!
Do you see the light green plants? They’re orchids. People put their orchids in their trees and they grow beautifully there. My grandmother has some orchids on the tree in front of her house in Brazil.
The Reason
The cottage is great, the shopping is fun, but we all want go to the beach!
Water

Paz
They say “paz” which means “peace”.
Warm Up
I love hearing the waves breaking on the shore.
I’m wishing I was in this place right now. I woke up to a very cold and windy morning today. Even though I’m enjoying Fall, I must say I’m already missing the sun! It gets cold here very quickly. Seeing all this sunshine and the beach is just what I needed today.
How’s your day going so far? Many plans for today? If you’re going to have a busy day, try to keep a positive attitude. I say that for myself, too. It seems that I’m running around too much lately and forgetting to breathe. Sometimes we need to focus on that, on just slowing down. We have to remind ourselves of how precious life is and try to find gratefulness in every day.
Please, make sure to come back tomorrow. I’ve prepared a post which I can’t wait to share with you.
Have a blessed day!
