    🔴 *Even though I have been in a few slums before in different areas of the world, this was one of those days that blew my mind.* It was humbling to be able to humanise this often feared neighbourhood if not for you guys watching at home but for myself. I hope you enjoy this video and if you want to contribute to the food and education of the children living here and give them a brighter future, then please consider supporting Barbara's project here:
    www.ilsorrisodeimieibimbi.org/support-us/?lang=en
    Like I mentioned in the video, Barbara is one of those people who shines so bright for good, dedicating her entire life to helping others who are less fortunate. Beautiful soul.

      Nick, thanks for showing Brazil to the world in such a different, and good perspective. I'm brazilian and went to Rio many times, but as you now know, coming to a favela is not that easy. So it was like through you I got to know a bit more about my own country and a wonderful city. Thanks and welcome to brazilian hospitality.

I am a fall-down drunk, and usually pretty easy to get along with - but I am just as likely to get drunk and wake up with a hot chic as I am to get drunk and wake up captured by some gang of robbing murderers who sent the hot chic to drug me, then get my ass kicked and robbed and wake up in an alley somewhere. Good times, good times! Let me know what time the party starts! Woooohooo!

    This video made me so nostalgic i feel like crying.
    I was born and raised in a very similar place to these favelas, but "fortunately", it went on and quickly evolved into a modern and wealthier area along with many other places around the country.
    Everything is more accessible and the "quality of life is better", but life is certainly not easier.
    I do miss the humbleness, the friendly and family oriented culture... I miss how there were less things to worry about and how your whole world was just a small community of people who were very close throughout your life.

    When I was in Rio I entered two favelas. The first one with a Brazilian friend to hike up ‘Dois Irmões’. It was super chill, we took a mototaxi up the hill through the favela. The second one I entered alone, thinking that I already know how it works. This time I also wanted to hike up the hill the favela was built on. In retrospective this obviously wasn’t such a good idea. Even the locals, e.g. my mototaxi driver asked me wth am I doing here. He didn’t even know were I wanted to go lol. Nevertheless, he took me up the hill. Were I got off there was a women who my driver asked something. The women too didn’t know the path I was looking for to hike up either. And she also told me that I am crazy entering the favela alone, it’s dangerous. But, instead of telling me to immediately leave the favela she even showed me around a little bit and I enjoyed beautiful views of Rio. So, all in all it probably was not the best idea to enter the favela without a local but therefore got to experience their incredible hospitality and I felt that they genuinely cared for my safety.
