As soon as I arrived I felt very much at home and that feeling didn't leave me. The spot is serene and absolutely stunning. Everybody is very friendly, helpful and jolly, so I spent my days in good company. I had troubles with the surf in the beginning, not being used to rather strong currents, lacking all sorts of muscles and having it learned the wrong way, but Fiapo, Nico and Lucas encouraged me to keep it strong and eventually I got the hang of it. The food is amazing, there was always so much choice and the quality is way above many other places where I've eaten in Brazil. Rachel's yoga lessons were intense, but also opened my eyes to what yoga can do for you - I wasn't able to touch my feet when bending forward; in the third lesson I managed to touch my toes! I really had an amazing time, mostly to the beauty of the place and the warmth of the people. I will come back once I surf a bit better!
