Hey everyone, this is my first post regarding my trip to Joinville, Brasil in the Santa Catarina region! To begin, I'll be there working with Instituto AMAR from May 18, 2012 to August 12, 2012. A few updates on where things currently stand:
First, I've officially booked my ticket from Boston to Sao Paulo to Joinville. This took unnecessarily long because I didn't actually realize that you could change the TAM website to the U.S. version and was trying to figure out what a Brazilian CPF was.
Next, I spoke to my host couple, Daniel and Camilo via Skype. It turns out that Daniel doesn't speak much English, so hopefully I will learn some Portuguese and brush up on my Spanish. They showed me around the house, including my room, which Camilo said was "messy" (obviously he hasn't seen my room) and the kitchen, which features a large, almost industrial-sized oven, as Daniel is a cake designer (http://danieldamazio.com/)!
We also spoke about coordinating a trip to Sao Paulo. They are planning a trip to visit Sao Paulo the same day that I arrive there, so they were thinking that we could drive down to Joinville. Plus, I opened a fortune cookie tonight that said: Ask a friend to join you on your next voyage. More details to follow...
T-minus four days!
