I did it. I made the first booking request with Airbnb. For this lovely place in Ipanema in Rio.

I’ll be staying with Mauricio in this great place close to the beach, in a nice area. I checked back with lots of friend who know Rio, about where to go (and where not to…) and this looks really good.

Somehow, I feel like having a slow start into this year, with time to be spent at the beach.

Also, I spotted a huge outdoor pool not too far away on Google maps, which is great because I want to go swimming three times a week again! (Please do check back on this and hold me to it!)
