Off the Beaten Path (2015) : 8x3

Brazil is the largest country in South America and the fifth largest in the world, known for its vast rainforests, including the Amazon, and incredible cultural diversity shaped by its people. From music and cuisine to football and the world famous Rio Carnival, Brazil is full of energy and colour. This vibrant lifestyle brought Ivana from Slovakia to the state of São Paulo, where she now lives in the coastal town of Caraguatatuba with her Brazilian husband. After years in China, she found a new home here and works as a tour guide and translator. With Ivana, we start the day at a local café, pick fresh jackfruit for lunch, visit a Quilombo community to make cassava flour, taste Brazilian style sushi by the beach, and end the day dancing as we prepare for carnival.
