            This is a place for anyone who wants to dive to Brazilian history! Ouro Preto (Black Gold) is a colonial town in the Serra do Espinhaço mountains of eastern Brazil. It was the focal point rush and Brazil's golden age in the 18th century. With the exhaustion of the gold mines in the 19th century, the city’s influence declined but many churches, bridges and fountains remain as a testimony to its past prosperity and the exceptional talent of the Baroque sculptor Aleijadinho. Central Tiradentes Square is named after the martyr for Brazilian independence. There are numerous churches and chapels all over town, including the 18th-century St. Francis of Assisi Church.

Ok, let's be honest, I never thought I would end up in Cancun one day... but...

how exactly did it happen?

Well, I got a phone call from my boyfriend saying that he had something to tell me

(I was like... here we go... hahaha), but I would not have guessed what he was about to tell me, he told me he was one of the employees of the year in his job and as a prize he got a trip to Cancun with everything included (first reaction: WOW Congrats, newest single guy hahaha, just messing, I was not such a bitch) then he completed saying... "and I can bring someone with me, do you wanna join me?"  I was "WHATTTT? Stop joking, don’t mess with me!" but yeah, it was true!

Many people might think "Such a lucky girl!" Actually I am...but my life was not only made with surprise calls.  The 12 months leading up to the phone call were very hard for me. Many things had affected me, I had been feeling very sick waiting to go home to get a surgery done, waiting for my Italian citizenship process that took a year longer than I expected to finally be able to travel freely in Europe, also I was over 2 years without seeing my family and many other things life throws at us unexpectedly.
This trip happened exactly after I became I Italian Citizen, it was booked in 2 months ahead, right after being back from Brazil, so I enjoyed Cancun after visiting my family and looking after my health, JUST PERFECT! That was a new beginning... past staying behind, just kept the experiences from the lessons, but let's go back to the good stuff now cause I definitely don’t wanna be here writing how bad my life was one stage to people say "oh, poor you", my intention is always been transparent, showing that things can be very bad one day, but it will pass... tomorrow will be better, just do your best, keep strong and focused and DON'T GIVE UP!

Where did I stay in Cancun?
