How to Visit Rio Cheaply
Alejandra and I have just returned from Rio. A trip to Rio de Janeiro isn't THAT costly for us because we live in Argentina. But I put together some advice on how to visit Rio without going broke for my North American pals who think eating out in f#$k Georgia is pricey.

Bid Adieu to Virtual Christmas Celebrations
Christmas is traditionally celebrated as a season of togetherness be it with friends, family or colleagues. The pandemic, unfortunately, distanced people from each other. So, Christmas parties came to a standstill. Virtual celebrations were in full force, as we couldn’t mingle with each other in public. Well, can online Christmas parties take the place of in-person parties? I don’t think so.

The Unluckiest Statue on Earth
It is struck by lightning every year, but it attracts many v isitors. Now, whether visitors are domestic or foreign, it can provide many scenic spots for everyone, and the types of scenic spots also make tourists often dazzled. According to some statistics, the number of people who choose to go abroad to play has gradually increased. This is understandable. First of all, because the fees of many domestic attractions are too high, they have also lost their original taste. Another reason is that going to other countries can experience more cultures and customs.

A Short Break From Myself: What Last NYE Taught Me
There are times in our lives when we feel irrevocably tired of ourselves, and I think I have an explanation for this. Between all the toings and froings in life and the roles we play for our different cliques, there is too little time left to ponder which part of you is real. Admit it, none of us know who we are entirely. So, last year I made a decision that gave me a break from spiralling down through my tumultuous self. It was New Year’s Eve 2022 and I had just moved into Sydney. My work schedule was beyond me and I couldn’t help myself but take a break from the toxic environment that was nothing but harmful to my mental health. I decided to get away from the usual faces, which included my family, my friends and my colleagues. I booked a ticket aboard one of the Sydney NYE cruises, which are a famous vantage point to see the fireworks from a different perspective. It was remarkable indeed. With amazing food, a lot of booze, spectacular views, and not to mention, new faces, I knew I was at the right place at the moment. I met some wonderful people on board, all strangers. And here’s what I understood: that I didn’t have to assume a particular role or pressurise myself to be something I’m not when I’m around strangers. Rather I could be anyone I want to be or explore parts of myself with no strings attached to the reputed parts of my character. I guess I should add Sydney New Year’s Eve cruises to my favourites. They make me think.

What You Should and Shouldn’t Do While Visiting Sydney
Travel has been my life mentor for well over the past seven or eight years. Through exploring unknown lands, meeting new people, experiencing new things and facing an avalanche of challenges. I’m fortunate to see the world through a new set of eyes every now and then. Sydney is one of my favourite destinations on the planet, an incredibly friendly and laid-back city, with residents who admire their harbour and are happy to share it with people from all parts of the world. But this wasn’t the case every time I visited. There are a couple of things you should still avoid to ensure you have a safe staycation, be on the good side of the locals and most importantly, don’t get ripped off.
