Day 10 – Sophia Sharp – The Power of Music

As cheesy and cliche as it sounds, music really does have the power to connect people. This was especially clear when we did a samba workshop on Wednesday May 21! A large part of the workshop was learning how to play different instruments, and playing music together. I have never Read more…

Day 7 – Hannah Whiting – Cultural Representations

Brazilian culture is so diverse and special, and it seems everyone is involved in their culture. We honestly didn’t have a plan for our day until a couple days before we went, so it was on a whim, but it was well thought out by our host parents. First on Read more…
