How we Met - Como Nos Conhecemos
It was a new beginning for Nathalie. She had just moved to NYC in the fall of 2019 to pursue her love for photography. Little did she know, she would discover an entire new love. Maikon had been living in NYC for several years as a student learning English, unaware of what the city still had in store for him. In late September, their paths crossed while working at a store on 5th Avenue. What started as a friendship, blossomed into a connection that surpassed what either of them could have ever imagined. Foi um novo começo para Nathalie. Ela havia acabado de se mudar para Nova York no outono de 2019 para perseguir sua paixão pela fotografia. Mal sabia ela que descobriria um amor totalmente novo. Maikon morava em Nova York há vários anos como estudante de inglês, sem saber o que a cidade ainda reservava para ele. No final de setembro, seus caminhos se cruzaram enquanto trabalhavam em uma loja na 5ª Avenida. O que começou como uma amizade floresceu em uma conexão que superou tudo o que qualquer um deles poderia imaginar.

Question
Where should I stay in Rio de Janeiro?
Answer
We are so excited to celebrate with you in beautiful Rio de Janeiro! For your stay, we recommend booking accommodations in the South Zone neighborhoods, which include Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon. These areas offer beautiful beaches, great restaurants, and easy access to many local attractions. For your safety and comfort, we recommend avoiding accommodations in the North Zone or in favela communities. If you have any questions about where to stay or need suggestions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
Question
What will the weather like in Rio de Janeiro?
Answer
Expect a high of 81°F and a low of 68°F. October - November (Brazil's spring) is an ideal time for visitors seeking sun and adventure. Mild and relatively dry weather (more rain than in the winter but less than the summer), fewer crowds and more room to sprawl out on the beaches are all part of the allure. If you don't mind missing the festival hoopla, you'll save money by booking a hotel at this time of year.
Question
Is card or cash best to use?
Answer
Unlike some other South American countries US dollars are rarely accepted in Brazil. Therefore we recommend you have some reais in cash. However, you are unlikely to be able to get Brazilian reais in your home country and if you can you are not likely to get a good exchange rate. Therefore we recommend withdrawing some reais from an ATM on arrival or taking a small amount of US dollars with you that can be more easily exchanged for local currency. All major credit and debit cards are accepted in Brazil. Smaller shops, kiosks, markets and more informal restaurants in remote areas may only accept cash, so make sure you have some with you as a back up.
Question
When should I book my flight and hotel?
Answer
We recommend booking flights and accommodations as early as possible, ideally 3–6 months in advance, especially since Rio is a popular destination.
Question
