Floripa

It is the same all over the world. Everyone moves to the big city to find work. Some 30000 make their way to São Paulo daily, contributing to the 19 million who already call it their home. It is no wonder that São Paulo is no. 3 in the world for the most skyscrapers in the world. They have begin to build up as well as out.



Just as it is inevitable that the career search begins in the São Paulo, the search for relaxation and liberation from the daily grind starts in Florianópolis, better known to Brazilians as Floripa. Just an 11hour bus ride south of São Paulo, the island of Floripa is home to small town fishing, colonial architecture and is a surf haven, with its 42 beaches. Just a bridge separates the place from the mainland, and what one finds upon crossing it is a lack of traffic, congestion, noise (save for that of the ocean waves crashing on the sea shore) and stale city air. Tranquility resides here.
