Cabo Frio, 2018


In April, 2018 I went living by myself with my brother and two friends in Rio de Janeiro.

Actually, by then, I couldn't even call those guys friends yet - we've met something like 3 or 4 times before and decided living together because of the cost of living in Rio. If you share a house with 4+ friends, you get a average-good house. Less than that, unless you have some money, you're fucked up.

(...) unless you have some money, you're fucked up.

In the first month living together, Zé and I went all night long talking about our lives in order to get to know each other, and in May we decided to go to Cabo Frio so that we could surf.

Cabo Frio is a small city along the coast of the state of Rio, famous for its beautiful beaches, hot sun and crystalline water. Our favourite beach is Praia Brava ('Brave Beach', in literal translation).

The city gets really full during holidays, a lot of people have houses there, but during a normal weekend it's nearly empty. And in this specific beach hardly ever there are people because it's a nudism beach and usually there are waves - no bathers, just surfers WOOHOO!

And we chose to travel during the truckers' strike, so the whole state of Rio was lacking of gas and food - thus, the city was deserted.

It's been 2 years since it happened and I was fucking happy while rewatching the clips and editing everything.

I'm done of writing, so I hope you enjoy this small edit I've just made about this trip.
