In August 2016 I flew to Brazil. The reason I went there was a three-weeks field work trip to Rondônia and Brasília for my Master studies. And before that I explored the South of the country on my own. I went to Porto Alegre, Campo Bom, Curitiba, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. I stayed with three awesome couchsurfing hosts, a friend and in a hostel. The kindness of the Brazilian people was amazing. They were always happy to help.
The field trip started in Brasília and then we explored Rondônia – from Ji-Paraná to Porto Velho to a small village where we did research about a farming project. In the end, we went back to Brasília to present our first results there.
