​"Jo, I read the whole thing. Honestly, good on you for trading the 'Safe' comfort of Thailand for the raw, unpredictable energy of Brazil. Most people talk about the 'danger' because they’re terrified of a life they can’t control—it’s refreshing to see someone actually step into the arena and realize how incredible that country is once you get the rhythm of it.

​I spent 6 months moving through Brazil back in 2000, and it’s still one of the absolute highlights of my life. There’s a vibration there you just can't find anywhere else. I actually had a bit of a chuckle reading this while sitting in the comfort of Thailand myself right now—I know exactly the 'comfortable' bubble you left behind.

​Glad you had a f***ing awesome time and stayed safe. Great story—I enjoyed every bit of it."
