My experience in Florianópolis, Brazil

Living in the smallest country in America: El Salvador and which is catalogued as one of the most dangerous in the world; many times it makes you doubt and makes you think that all places are like that; but I have the conviction that the world is surrounded by good people.

I must accept that I was full of fears and doubts, but these were more than overcome by my crazy desire to know Brazil, a country that has a peculiar charm that made me want to know it (and that I still want to continue knowing).

When selecting where to go in a country as big, diverse and different as Brazil I let the destination take me; I opened an account on worldpackers.com (social network that allows you to exchange your skills for work and food in hostels and hotels around the world). I sent 3 applications to various hostels in Recife, Rio de Janeiro and Florianopolis. Three different regions within Brazil. I decided that whoever answered me first would be the one chosen...

I didn't know anything about Florianópolis, and I didn't research much about the place, and that was the best decision; I let the beautiful Ilha da Magia surprise me with its charm, with its hidden beaches and its diverse nature; Floripa has given me the best experience of my life for the moment.

Using the power of social networks to work as a volunteer in a hostel in exchange for accommodation was the best decision of the trip, as this allowed me to meet people from all over the world, most of whom I still have contact with and we are still great friends.

I faithfully recommend this platform through which I was able to live the best experience of my life, which I would love to experience again in the near future.

Let the goal be to look back and see memories... not dreams.

Thanks for reading this far and don't forget to leave me your comments.
