Tchau Brazil!

It’s that time again. Time for a new adventure!

After an amazing two years in South America the time has come for us to leave Brazil. What started as an 8 – 10 month project has stretched into 2 years of great port design and project management experience for Justin, almost constant sunshine, and unforgettable travel memories. All of which we do not regret and would do again (maybe we’ll skip on the visa hassles).  

As Chaucer so famously said, all good things must come to end. But we also know there are so many more good things still to come. As sad as we are to be leaving our wonderful new friends, the glorious sun and beaches, Havaianas, and self-serve ice-cream; we are also excited by the things that lie ahead. We are not always sure what these things are, but we are sure that they will be good and plentiful.

First up we will be enjoying a well-deserved and much needed month long holiday road tripping through South Africa visiting friends and family along the way. Hope to see you there SA peeps! Jam packed blog posts are sure to follow.

Thereafter we will be looking for new adventures and travel opportunities in a different part of the world. Some options are in the pipeline and we hope it will be finalised soon. Watch this space! Vote here for where you would like to see the boibs and the Clog Blog go next!

I am the first to admit that I suffer from FOMO since I often feel like we could travel and see more and get frustrated with seemingly wasted opportunities (insert sympathy for my husband here). As we’ve been reflecting on the last two years and the places we have been privileged to go, I have realised that the list is not as short as I would like to think. Enjoy this selection of photos from our travels around South America over the last two years.

Thank you Vitoria, Brazil and South America, it’s been real! 

See you on the flip side.

Tchau tchau.

  1. I can't believe it's been 2 years already-- feels like we were just saying goodbye in Delft. It must feel amazing to look back at that spread of photos you posted-- I know I feel that way about the pictures from our years in Europe. Can't wait to see where next!
