Did you go solo? How far in advance did you plan? What months are the best time to visit? I may have to do it after July since that's right around the corner.


Yep I went solo I only travel by myself as I don’t like travelling with others and did not know a soul. And literally just 3 weeks before.

Summer months are the best weather wise but I had great weather when I was down there

The weather in London can be a crapshoot. One time I went in July for 5 days...rained everyday day :francis:

Where are you flying from? I’m seeing LAX to RIO during carnival round trip for 1000 on kayak.

I just went to Carnival in Rio, it was life changing :wow:

If you don’t speak Portuguese...I’d say maybe go to Rio. More English speaking people.

If you plan on bringing back some cariocas to your room, don’t stay in a hotel. Most don’t allow visitors. Get an
Airbnb...I don’t know how but I got an oceanfront 2 bedroom in Copa for $60/night. I got it last min, may have been a cancellation.

nice pics, you are about this photography life I see. now I have an idea of what my pics should look like when I go lol

were you out in them club streets or were you on some tourist shyt

thanks breh
The beauty of London is there is so much to see and so much to do, the history is AMAZING. I was just fascinated all these places I read about as a kid were right in front of me

Never did the clubbing stuff just tourist stuff.
I can club and go to lounges in my own city :ehh:

Although I did hop on hinge like 3 weeks before and met 3 women whn I was down there

I'd also recommend going to paris if you have never been, you can take the train its a bit pricey if you book late, I flew and it took a hour and paid 100 bucks roundtrip

Hinge is better than tinder it’s popular all over the world now. You can put yourself anywhere in the world without paying which is how I was able to set up things in advance


And yep I think it’s the best I like seeing new things experiencing culture , scenery etc

Unless I’m going to Ibiza, Brazil etc or staying at the ritz Carlton all that bar, clubbing ish is a waste of time to me same atmosphere that you get at home

Headed to the ‘dam again right now. 2nd time this year. Going again end of June/July. So probably will be there 3-4 times this year. But, before that: Morocco in June

How was the language barrier? Only thing keeping me back from visiting Rio, Brasil.

Not a big problem. Most people you deal with speak enough English. Otherwise, google translate gets the job done. I had a few rendezvous where we passed my phone back and forth to have the conversation.

:mjlol: not true at all

i:eat:every day I was there..with more options than I knew what to do with.

you just save the following phrases in your notepad then paste in tinder like
"nao falo porteguese....fala ingles?" i don't speak portugese...do you speak english?:takedat:
"O que você está procurando?" what are you looking for?:mjlit:

"Eu não moro aqui ... então eu só estou olhando para me divertir" I don't live here...so I'm just looking to have fun :mjgrin:


the power of those few phrases.....:wow:
