It took me a while, but I finally wrote about my experience at the Yemanja fest, in Bahia, Brazil (more to come)

We arrived in the city with not many expectations. Lately, we had been visiting different towns and finding ourselves underwhelmed, only to later discover the heart of the place and fall in love.It happened with Olinda, Pernambuco, and on our last trip to Japaratinga, in the state of Alagoas. Salvad...

We have a bittersweet announcement to make. We've made the difficult decision to find a new, loving home for our cherished Favela mascot, DOCE DE LEITE.

As our lives become increasingly filled with commitments, and with plans to travel to Brazil in the coming year, we believe it's in her best interest to be in a home that can provide the love and attention she deserves.

Doce is approximately 7 years old, and she's an absolute sweetheart. She adores children and is quite comfortable around cats. While she's generally friendly, she can be a bit anxious around other dogs.

She is spayed and vaccinated.

We have full faith in our incredible community, and we're sure there's a special someone out there who would be thrilled to welcome Doce into their home.

If you, or someone you know, is interested in giving a wonderful dog a forever home, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Your love and care will make a world of difference in Doce's life.

I've been traveling and meeting people my entire life.

When I began my Happiness research, I realized the profound impact of human connections on one's life satisfaction. It affects happiness, wealth, health, and longevity.

Traveling acts as a bridge, allowing us to experience the homes and lives of others.

A few months back, I launched the project to encourage meaningful interactions with locals during travel.

People often capture stunning landscapes but forget that the key to a memorable trip is the people we meet.

I'm excited to speak at hosted by the on Sep 30th in Louisville, KY.

Join me if you can!
