hello world!
am in natal, very north east of brasil (~5250 km to africa). sitting at the busstation, waiting for my nightbus to fortaleza where i pick another bus to jericoacoara (it took me weeks to learn this word).
the last weeks have been very chill and veeery nice.
one week in the chapada diamantina, lençois, i enjoyed the beatiful inland. i think i uploaded photos. meet very nice people and had a great time, learned a lot about the regions and landscape change, and also about the circle of peoples life who end up in the favels. have been to an quilombo. thats the places where the sclaves went to start a new life as they made it to run away. obviously the went far from any civilisation, that they couldn´t be found. nowadays the familie are still living there. and as they don´t use condoms and stuff they make a lot of children, who can´t live in their little house living just from some vegetables, rice and manjoca. so one day they go to the cities, live in the favela to surch for a job and end up in the drug traffic.
that and more was very interesting for me to see, as i knew and saw how is things going in rio. now i know and saw also how it all begins and how they live there.
then i went to recife and stayed with thomas from my capoeria group in berlin. he and his girlfriend ute are making their doctor in recife and we passed some nice days together on the carneval in recife and olinda or chilled in their huge roof apartment.
rio guys do you know who i met there in recife? pedro from our school from the fibra guys! that was so cool! 
then i went with yvonne from cologne south to maracaípe (porto de galinhas). oh that was so nice. i went diving and hang around there for one week. met really nice girls. had a really great time. sleeping in the hammock 30 meters from the beach. water, sand, air, sun, stars, the moon and the ound of the waves. that was all about. sleeping early because waking up at 7.30 and just chill!
nicole and me started the tight-moon-mission*
the same then in pipa, between recife and natal. another surf spot, with a delfin beach too! very beautiful landscape, red cliffs, which i enjoyed with nicole from canada. built a new home with the hammocks under trees on a campsite and all we were was just happy – and tired at 11 in the evening!
we stopped the tight-moon-mission with the fullmoon*
nicole went south, i went with jean, a brasilian guy living in freiburg/germany north to natal were we rent a car yesterday and had a bit a strange, interesting, chaos day … went snorkeling and to the sand dunes …
the change of the landscape is amazing. it´s so cool to see how it gets diffrent. here now are beginning the sand dunes. and i´m so glad that on all of my trips i can speak with the peolpe. it´s so great and i´m learning a lot in the last few weeks …
it´s the first time now since maracaípe that i´m not so frightent anymore. leef bags on the beach .. not more so paranoid .. 
hey i hope you are all good their outside!!
thank you for your mails guys!
ohio – hau rein! i miss you too!

beiijos and love*carolina
