This summer I will being going to
live in Sao Paolo, Brazil to do an internship with my older brother’s company
baby.com.br. Brazilian visas are expensive and obviously only valid in Brazil.
I wasn’t very eager to pay for a visa that I’ll only use once but what other
did I have? Well most people don’t have
any other options, but I’m not most people.
I was born in Quito, Ecuador and
after some research I learned that Ecuadorians don’t need a visa to travel to
Brazil. The only issue was that in order
to travel to Brazil as an Ecuadorian I would need to renew my long expired Ecuadorian
passport. In order to renew my passport I would need to travel to either
Phoenix or Los Angeles to visit an Ecuadorian Consul. After looking at the cost
of flights I learned that I could either get a Brazilian visa for about $200 or
I could fly to California and renew my Ecuadorian passport for about $200. I chose the latter.
I had a great time in California
getting to know my grandma better, visiting other family members, and visiting
Oakley. The highlights of my trip
include:
(1) renewing my passport,
(2) being told by Oakley that they might
bring me with them to Azerbaijan in order to close a deal in Russian, and
(3)
dinner at Selma’s Chicago Pizzeria.
It
was a great trip.
