All the texts I’ve recently published in The Slow Burn have been born from a desire to share and inspire. I emphasize this because I recognize that it wasn’t always like this. In the past, when I called myself a publicist and entrepreneur, my writing was often driven by a need to build my personal […]
Casado in Brazil is called feijoada, and that was our first meal when we arrived in Copacabana for the Wave Festival. With an air of the Carlton in Cannes, the Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro is the perfect setting for the [...]
