I came to Brazil for Carnival thinking I would stay for a week. That was a month ago. And I am still here. What started as a "little carnival moment" turned into one of the most expansive, liberating and eye opening experiences of my life. And I had to share everything I learned with you. Because here is what I know now: sexiness is not about your body. It is about how alive you are. And Carnival taught me that more than anything ever has. In this episode I am sharing everything, the herstory of Carnival, the logistics, the culture, the kissing, the outfits, the safety tips for female solo travelers, and most importantly, the state of consciousness that Brazil lives in every single day that we have been missing in the Western world. In this episode we explore: 🌺 The origin of Carnival and the god of chaos who started it all 💃 What the Brazil Carnival experience is actually like and how to navigate it 👄 The kissing culture in Brazil and what it taught me about flirting and feminine energy ✨ Why sexiness is a state of consciousness and has nothing to do with your body 🎭 The difference between Brazil and Trinidad Carnival and how to choose 🛍️ Everything you need to know about the outfits, the blocos and when to go 🌍 Safety tips for female solo travelers in Brazil 🎶 What Brazilian culture taught me about joy, friendship and the way we were meant to live You are the carnival. You get to be in that vibration every single day.
