Hi I'm Danny! I'm travelling around the world! Follow my posts.

I've been preparing for a trip to Brazil and whilst looking for an AirBnb I dug through old photos I'd forgotten about, and was reminiscing about some of the places I've been and wanted to revisit.

A trip to Brazil is not complete without visiting Cidade Maravilhosa. This translates to "the marvellous city" and is more commonly known as Rio De Janeiro.

Life in Rio revolves around the beach. A typical Carioca (resident of Rio) will often spend their entire day down at the beach.

Once you've got your spot on the beach you don't need to get up for the rest of the day - even your beer is hand delivered. Check out these guys above delivering ice cold Skol.

One of the reasons I love Rio is because of the high density of nature within the city. This is owing to having the largest urban rainforest in the world in the city itself. We spotted a friendly Marmoset.

There is of course a much darker side to Rio too, and crime rates are still very high here. This is mainly down to the massive numbers of people living in favelas and existing on a very low income.

Despite the poverty and danger the favelas are a huge part of the soul and character of Rio. To give you an idea there are estimated to be 12 million people living in these slums. That is more than the population of London.
