think about me one more time before you go
someday oh no
i've been feeling this way for far too long
it is going to be a very long day good morning guys uh i am coming to you from my airbnb in
medellin and today is my travel day to brazil now you would think that it wouldn't take much time to
get from a major city in colombia to a major city in brazil they are you know fairly close together
but not in my case um basically i had booked my flight to enter brazil uh through sao paulo i
thought i would spend at least a week there before heading to rio but then i found out that somebody
very special would like to join me for my birthday but they really wanted to see rio so to do that in
time i basically had to get a domestic flight the same day from sao paulo to rio because it
cost way more money to change my ticket there are many direct flights from medellin or bogota to rio
de janeiro but basically what i'm having to do is go medellin bogota sao paulo rio de janeiro
and not only that not only that uh because brazil requires a pcr test or rapid antigen test to enter
the country i've decided to do my rapid antigen test at the airport and you have to go with plenty
of time so i'm basically going to the airport five hours early and by the time that i probably land
in rio de janeiro tomorrow it will basically be a 30 hour travel day that is ridiculous but uh
it is what it is i'm excited to be going to brazil at the end of the day i'm excited that i'm gonna
have some company uh in a few days once i get there so no regrets just a little complicated
so
well guys it looks like i'm going to mexico after brazil i have never had this happen before where
at the check encounter she was like can i see your you know onwards ticket from brazil and i was like
what why why would i need that you know i i don't know how long i'm going to stay yet and she's like
to enter brazil you will need to have an outbound ticket so literally on the spot i had to buy
a ticket and it's actually a really good thing that yesterday i was looking at flights of you
know where i might go after whether i wanted to go back to canada or go somewhere else and thankfully
yesterday i came across what i thought was my best possibility was a 250 ticket to mexico city
from sao paulo and then from there uh the tickets from cancun to vancouver or calgary were about uh
i think like 300 something like that as well so it's not the worst thing in the world because i
was planning to buy those tickets eventually but i just think that's so ridiculous how you need
an onwards ticket before you know you know how long you're gonna spend in a place but now i've
got about two hours until my flight leaves i think i want to get some kind of dinner because
in the other part of the airport there was only like coffee shops it's like four or five o'clock
and i haven't had lunch yet so i'm going to do that before we get on the flight to bogota
you're looking for someone
but i can see a future that's brighter
make it right to follow through it's up to us i don't know what to do
to make it right to follow through it's up to us
sometimes
still we need to be in motion to see where everything starts and to know where to go
all right friends i am voicing over this part of the video because unfortunately
what i did film had some issues with the audio but basically i arrived in bogota and
i am in the international terminal here i had about a three four hour layover so i
decided to actually use my lounge pass that i have through priority pass which gives me
six free visits a year and my time is almost up for this year so i decided to go to the
el dorado lounge in the international terminal which i heard is really nice
i'm actually really grateful that overall while i've been in colombia most things have
been open primarily airport lounges because it's surprising just how many airports still
have their lounges closed even though they have restaurants that are open so people still need
to eat an airport so i find it quite strange that there's places that haven't opened their lounges
uh since the pandemic really began but i am grateful that in colombia that was not the case
all right guys it is about 10 p.m right now i'm at my gate to board my flight to the south
meaning that i hope i get a really good sleep on this flight because this is
basically the only sleep i will get in the next 24 hours so on that note i would like to introduce
you guys to the sponsor of today's video my absolute favorite sleep mask from manta sleep man

amazing range of sleep masks and functional sleep accessories to help you get a great night's sleep
or an energy boosting power nap the mask i love from them is their original sleep

the description and as i've said many times before these are my favorite sleep masks i would highly
recommend them if you want a hundred percent blackout experience definitely check them out
so
wow
i can without a don't say that things are more expensive in brazil than they are in
colombia my breakfast just cost 17 us dollars for a fresh fresh orange juice americano
pretty good omelette but uh even in the airport like in medellin or bogota you can get like a
really good meal drink included for like 10 or less but i already expected this i mean just the
prices in rio especially during this time of year i knew that uh coming to brazil was going to be
more expensive than colombia i still think it will be worth it but just a little bit shocking to have
paid so much for an omelette breakfast anyways guys they let me into brazil very happy to um
be here in sao paulo it's about 8 a.m right now and my flight to rio leaves at 12 40 so i can't
even check in really for you know two three more hours so i'm just gonna hang out at the airport um
maybe i can get a sim card here that would be really great and then once i get to rio i
think i'll be able to just call an uber or get a airport taxi and get to my airport around 3.
i wonder why you said goodbye in such a rush
i guess you had your thing to do again a few moments later
i'll be honest with you guys where i don't think i have felt this rough like rough in a long time
i don't even know if it's just lack of sleep or if it's something else i almost feel like nauseous
in a weird way like nauseous and just wanting to sleep i was actually feeling okay when i
got breakfast but now an hour away from boarding my flight basically oh my god
hey listen up i've tried to tell you this a hundred times not
you say you listen but you're missing what it's all about
try to help you but you keep reading between the lines there's nothing there
for you to complicate we're not aligned you say you listen we're guessing that's
just another sign now growing up you're growing old lucky passing
you don't change
wow i can't believe i made it guys the bed looks so good i literally could just
flop and sleep but um yeah quick little room tour of this private room that i booked at the
selena hostel in copacabana small room but has everything you need and as i think i mentioned in
the intro of this video i am meeting someone in just four days and we will be moving to another
hotel on uh copacabana together so i'm only here for four nights but you know i figured it'd be
better to just be in a place where there's other people it's in a fairly good location and just get
the lay of the land before my guest gets here so thank you guys so much for tuning in to today's
video i hope you enjoyed it i hope it gave you an idea of you know what to maybe expect if you are
making this trip yourself once again a very big thank you to manta sleep for sponsoring today's
video i'm definitely going to be wearing my sleep mask since i'm going to bed when it's still light
out but if you guys are interested in picking up any of their products i will have my discount
code and link in the description definitely check it out and as always i'm sending you
guys so much love thank you so much for tuning in and keep being your own kind of beautiful bye guys
