uh
good morning guys it is my second full day here in rio and uh it's been a bit of a whirlwind to
be honest because i have been sleeping basically half the time where i slept maybe three four hours
on my flight so my first full day here half of it was sleeping and getting a sim card and now it is
the next day where i'm actually going to be meeting up with steve and ivana from
the jet lag warriors a really cool youtube channel i'll link them in the description
and today will basically be the first official day of exploring rio
hey guys we are on coco with the jet lag warriors we've got ivana and steve and uh this
is absolutely gorgeous i didn't expect that uh it was going to be this big of a beach you guys have
been traveling around brazil for how long about like two months you know like that okay yeah so
you guys have definitely got like a good idea of what travel is like here and yeah how would you
sum it up so far uh it was a bit of an expectation for its reality yeah when we said to our friends
we're going to brazil oh no yeah sure uh but we found it quite safe and brazilian people are
super friendly and super engaging and very good on camera which is nice for you interesting to
come around and talk to someone and they're like hey man check it out really friendly people brazil
is very big it's a big huge country so we find it very different like sao paulo to rio to florida
yeah they're all like visiting a different country you know sure sure well yeah you guys uh actually
just got to rio specifically just a week ago right yeah yeah so compared to the other places you've
been because you've been to sao paulo that's you know obviously the biggest city how would you
say rio kind of compares to those places certainly one of the most beautiful cities in the world yeah
without exaggeration everywhere you look it's really beautiful although i think rio is maybe
better for tourists than it is youtubers a bit of a safety concern with the cameras and stuff yeah
we might be overstating that because we're sort of nervous but yeah we're being more
cautious we're in other parts of brazil we've been vlogging yeah many people more but going forwards
what are we going to do today guys good question can i explore the beach walk around because
there's a big stretch yes uh there is uh lemme yeah copacabana and then over on the other side
is ipanema yes amazing each of those four beaches are huge awesome there's tons of beach to explore
we'll get you a local drink called caipirinha yes yeah maybe some local snacks acai bowl
yes yes so good so good we'll try and uh introduce alina to the brazilian beach experience although
we've only been here a week i'm excited you're not the best no you will be let's do it
all right well you guys youtube we'll show you amazing let's do it
yeah this is a local drink with um
brazilian alcohol okay like rum uh-huh and then some fruits and some sugar oh my gosh
you can choose alina you got one fashion fruit uh-huh yes watermelon oh lemon
just like a potato sweet potato i've never heard of this uh or this one is a classic this is a
lime lime traditional so you choose well i love watermelon and i've never really had it in like
an alcoholic drink so i will give this a try oh thank you abrigado wow look at that you guys
one for 22 30 is uh reasonable price yeah oh my gosh okay in portuguese south south
first sip is this wrong yes it is like well that packs up fine holy cow
yeah it should be strong that's kind of the idea of the drink and they give you like you know
this is like american-sized drinks
this is delicious
so i can't believe that just like in eastern europe they have corn
on the beach oh my god chocolo macio icaliente so hot corn or something
and boiled corn i love that i freaking love that it looks like raw shrimp yeah and i
guess maybe they barbecue them wow that looks great wow africa looks super nice actually yeah
it's funny because it's like you can just sit on the beach and it's like the restaurant comes
to you right you're just like do i want corn do i want fried cheese do i want shrimp that's amazing
so i've heard that this area is like a beautiful lookout point but i guess this was probably a sort
of stronghold for the city yeah interested in learning more to see yeah what exactly the port
of copacabana is because uh historical place and right on the beach yeah this is awesome
all right friends we just saw the fort it was pretty cool though i mean mostly in portuguese
so if you have google translate that would be better um but now we're actually kind of at this
crossroads where we got copacabana that way and we got iponema that way so we are going to head on to
ipanema and grab some lunch yeah i think we'll go to a local it's kind of like a bar the word
is boteco related to the spanish word bodega but we can get some more cafes if you want or some
servants and some local brazilian food love that probably right near the beach perfect let's do it
do
oh my gosh you guys look at this this quality yes
love that okay yeah and they said this is for two people and we were like i
think it'll be enough yeah this is gonna be more than enough oh my god wow jesus
so they're serving everybody a portion of everything we've got the beef rice we got
french fries we got actually i have no idea what that is what is this so it's like a flower oh
interesting i've definitely never had that before
with him eggs and olives okay it's like a type of flower and you basically just
fries a flower sounds bad it's very good seriously okay interesting interesting
and then we got a beautiful veggie salad with marukuya even in it so this looks incredible
well guys we got in just in time it is like cloudy and rainy outside so we just got back to my hostel
we're gonna have uh one more drink or whatever to finish off our night but thank you guys so much
it was so much fun and like the perfect introduction to rio because i feel so much
more like you know exciting yeah so absolutely check out the jetlag warriors on youtube i will
link them in the description they go to really interesting like off the beaten track kind of
places you know i guess kind of similar to my channel where we see you know places that
maybe the average canadian or american doesn't talk about what would you guys say has been
let's just say like top three countries and the last travels you've done that you really like
yeah i'm just throwing it at you so i tell you what i'll do i'll do the past year yeah
i would say pakistan was super surprising because everyone thinks it's terrorists are dangerous and
the people there are so warm and they're so open yeah and then like inviting you to their house you
get an uber and the driver is like where are you from canada oh that's nice for dinner wow pakistan
super underrated yes super duper underrated and maybe brazil to be honest
i know that's a bit easy because of the video
funny timing because we're sort of finishing our 90 days yeah and you're starting your 90 days yeah
so i can tell you guys that stay tuned to alina's channel because there's some good stuff coming
really really good stuff but thank you guys so much definitely check out the jet lag warriors let
me know your comments uh down below and as always keep being your own kind of beautiful bye guys
