Travel notebooks

Diários de Bordo (travel logs)

What we saw, drank and paid — with the crooked photos and the whole opinion. The logs debut with the first trip of the new phase: with a backpack, not a press office. No trip paid for by a winery, and if there’s ever an invitation, you’ll read it in the first line.

FIRST STOP the Serra Gaúcha, amid the smell of sparkling wine.
