wow
but you're missing what it's all about
you don't change
friends welcome to a very special place here in brazil i am in the lovely
city slash island a florianopolis otherwise known as floripa by the locals now what makes this place
so special is the fact that it is a peninsula with an abundance of amazing different beaches
i think there's like 42 or something there's even mountains all around there's sand dunes where you
can go sand boarding and it really is known as the magic island just because there are so many
amazing things to do here now when i first arrived i was actually staying in the central downtown
part of florianopolis and i enjoyed my time there like it is kind of a small city sort of district
there are some skyscrapers there some really good restaurants cafes but i feel like if you're coming
all the way to florianopolis the main attractions really are the beaches the nature so it doesn't
really make much sense to stay in the city center in my opinion because the other thing to keep in
mind is that it actually takes a really long time to get in between different parts of the island
since there aren't a lot of roads and at peak times the traffic can be terrible the place that i
am staying is barra de da lagoa which is actually a small fishing village that has a really nice
kind of wilder you know sort of beach it's supposed to have some of the best seafood
restaurants in all of florianopolis and it's just a very chilled out relaxed place to stay
so it is two days after i filmed that initial segment about vara della goa
because i felt like crap the last couple of days not only did i have an extremely high fever and
then the rest of my body was like super cold and i had like chills i was shaking i sweated through
like three pairs of clothes and basically couldn't move from my bed for two days so that was terrible
i'm extremely grateful that technically i feel like it has overall past i feel much better um
today so i think it was just you know a flu if anything so obviously i was in no state to go
exploring uh in that time anyway but the weather was also bad like to be honest april really isn't
the ideal time to be visiting florianopolis this is kind of the fall season so rain and being a bit
colder can happen the most popular time to come is december through march i believe that's their
summer season so it'll be consistently much better weather then but thankfully today i feel better
the weather is also so much better and there's a few things i really wanted to do
before i leave florianopolis which is to go sand boarding because there are actually sand dunes
here and there are a few really nice beaches that i want to check out as well so assuming
that i feel pretty good as the day goes on i'll try and show you guys some more of the island
please
nah this is not the same as regular snowboarding this
is way harder guys but the main issue is the fact that some of these hills are actually
quite hard like the sand is really um packed down so when you fall it hurts
so here we go again it's no surprise cause we know better
than try to make it new
alive
stay up until the morning
just take my hand
so funny story here uh i just randomly saw this restaurant called barracuda and thought okay well
i'm kind of hungry i want to grab some lunch and it turns out that this is one of the best rated
restaurants in the city and they're especially known for the cod fish that they have here
like sure it is a little bit expensive i guess that's about 30 us dollars for like you know
a whole plate of food so it is definitely on the higher end but it looks so good wow
so this is supposed to be a portion for one person this is a lot i'm not gonna finish it
but this looks amazing guys i have never had a seafood dish like this before to be honest i
don't even remember the last time i had cod and it is really interesting how they have made it
this is supposed to be an originally portuguese dish i guess but very excited to give this a try
unfortunately the weather has turned just a little bit uh it is quite windy and it feels
like it might rain soon but i thought what the hell let's make it to one of the most popular
and wow oh my god i just turned the corner and i actually wow okay wow saw the beach here guys
this is one of the most popular beaches uh here in florianopolis and now i can see why
so
so there's good news and there's bad news guys where um today is my last day here in
florianopolis it is gorgeous so the sun is shining the temperature is perfect but the
bad news is that i am not feeling a hundred percent i think i did push myself a little bit
too hard yesterday so today i feel you know a little bit weaker and don't really feel
like going anywhere walking around or even talking too much because my throat
is still kind of recovering so instead i've just decided to stay
at the lovely you know hotel that i am staying at that has the beach right outside my doorstep
and kind of just take it easy today but to end off this video i really just wanted to emphasize
how amazing florifa is and why i have come to the conclusion that i think it is the best beach
destination that i have been to so far here in brazil compared to rio it is obviously much safer
you see people like walking around with cell phones you know in their hands all the time
and then comparing it to the other two beach destinations that i did that are also fantastic
which are ahaeldo cabo and buzios i still think florifa is better because it really takes the best
out of those two places which is the amazing beaches in ahayo and then the amenities um
in busios and brings it all together because this island is huge it has so much to do it has 42
phenomenal super long gorgeous beaches and you can still get around with uber you can still go to
you know different shopping districts it has really good restaurants it really does have it
all so i hope you guys enjoyed this video and found it helpful let me know in the comments if
you have ever been to florifa because it is such a fabulous place and as always i'm sending you guys
so much love hope you're having a fantastic day and keep being your own kind of beautiful bye guys
how i am supposed to feel
to make the same mistakes to be part of something real
we walk stand tall suffer love i have to steal
