The philosophy at this hotel is to completely disconnect from everything. It took me about 5 seconds upon arrival to become an ardent follower. In fact, I think I am going to start a new religion called “Picinguabism.”
TweetWe are leaving for Parati today and while I am excited to see a new city in Brasil, I am definitely going to miss Villas de Trancoso with all of my heart. One of the things that I am going to miss the most is our bed and not for reasons you are thinking right now, but because it is truly my dream bed!
Things I am obsessed with at the moment. . .
This pink boat I discovered on an afternoon walk.
My ridiculously tanned and sexy husband.
The pizzas at Villas de Trancoso. We have had one every single day for lunch.
Caipirinhas
The world's most adorable dog that appeared out of nowhere on the beach and then followed me for an hour.
You know you are in Brasil when you see this:
You also know that you have married an Argentine when your husband says he is going for a walk on the beach and when he does not return for over an hour and you go to look for him you find him playing fùtbol with the Brasilians and having a friendly argument over who was a better player Pelé or Maradona.
TweetIt is one thing to be married to the love of your life, however to be with that special someone in a place like Trancoso, Brasil for your honeymoon and to have the ENTIRE place to yourselves. . .well, that is a whole other thing.
It took us almost an entire day of a traveling to get to the village of Trancoso. We had to take 3 flights from Buenos Aires and drive for an hour. Our expectations were incredibly high, as Brasil is my *husband* and I’s favorite place in the world. So, our hotel better have been good for as much traveling as we did to get to it and for how much we love the country. Well, exceed our expectations it did! Not only that, I honestly cannot think of any words to describe this Paradise. It was nighttime when we checked in and the owner, Galen, presented us with many wedding presents, one of them being a dinner underneath a full moon.

As you read this, I have a stomach full of gorgeous little butterflies! Tonight, I will depart for South America, where I will be getting married on May 14th in Buenos Aires, Argentina at Faena Hotel + Universe. When I arrive to the airport, I will perform my in-transit ritual of sitting in a rocking chair (yes, I live in the South) and watching travelers pass me by with a Starbucks skinny latte.
I have decided that I am going to start a new feature on My Beautiful Adventures. I am always being asked about my style, thus I thought I would share some fashion inspiration look books from time to time. The inaugural one being my typical “airplane look.”
From May 5-June 1 I will be traveling throughout Argentina and Brasil. I have decided that each day I will try my absolute best to post a photo with a caption to keep everyone updated. Feel free to follow me on Twitter and Facebook as well! I could not be more excited or more ready for the most beautiful adventure in my life to date. . . 
In 2005, after experiencing a miserably boring New Year’s Eve spent at home, I vowed from then on I would travel somewhere exceptionally fabulous for the holiday. Since it is my favorite day of the year, I feel that it should be celebrated in style!
Here is a look at the places I visited for the last 5 New Year Eve’s:
London, England 2006. We rung in the new year on the River Thames inside a boat. Fireworks were set off from the London Eye.
Madrid, Spain 2007. 5 minutes before this picture was taken my camera was stolen from my pocket. Thankfully, my girlfriend had her disposable camera with her. While my friend took this picture, an unknown Italian man gave me a huge Hollywood kiss for good luck and then turned around and walked away. Guess the night was not a total loss?
Barrosa Valley, Australia 2008. Because of a severe drought, no fireworks were permitted in that part of Australia. This is the wine region of the country, so we celebrated by drinking lots and lots of wine.
Machu Pichu, Peru 2009. The plan was to ring in the new year in Cuzco, however a group of Peruvian women decided to go on strike at the train station and it stopped all of the trains for 6 hours. Thus, we ended up celebrating at the train station.
Rio de Janeiro, Brasil 2010. I cannot imagine a more unforgettable place to spend New Year's Eve! I joined over 3 million people all dressed in white on Copacabana Beach and watched 20 minutes of the most amazing fireworks illuminate the city.
PS Where is your favorite place that you have celebrated New Year’s Eve in? I am always looking for new places!
