Where to begin? Brazil!

Hello Everyone,

I'm John and I'll be writing about, and showing you, some of the most beautiful places I can find that exist on our planet. I have always wanted to travel the world and I have been blessed to be able to visit Europe a few times in my short life. I love seeing the world as much bigger than just where I live and I hope I can share that with all of you.

The most recent place that I found on the web, thanks to National Geographic, is located in the northeastern tip of Brazil.
The place is called Lencois Maranhenses and is now a national park that spreads over 600 square miles and is bathed in sun and sand. During the dry season, the "winds push the sand as far as 30 miles inland and create dunes as high as 130 feet." The result, is nothing short of spectacular.



The national park is open to the public and goat herders even roam the park while their animals feast on the water plants and oases that surround this beautiful place. It truly is one of the most unique places on earth. A desert that's filled with water and life is ever-changing with the wind and the rain. I cannot wait to visit.

  1. I would never think that this is Brazil. Beautiful. But now the rainforest or the big cities that I relate to the country.

  3. John, after reading your blogs I am curious to hear where your favorite and least favorite travel locations are. Would love to see that in a future entry.
