Bem vindos a Curitiba

We arrived into Curitiba on Tuesday night after travelling for around 23 hours and three time zones. Our first few days in the city have been to explore by foot and find out about our new home.

We've also met some people along the way including an American guy who is getting married this Wednesday, an English teacher from Birmingham who has lived here for ten years and an English teacher from Cambridge who loves British things.

The people of Curitiba have been extremely friendly and it's seems to be a general trait of the Brazilian population. We stand out massively when we are walking around the city, but once people realise why we are here maybe the Portuguese will be put into use!

Bem vindos a Curitiba!!
