Friday Favorites: adventure sports in Brazil, a solo road trip, and more

Every Friday, Googlers round up some of the best posts they came across during the week to celebrate the amazing discoveries Local Guides like you are sharing on Connect. This week, adventure sports in Brazil, a solo road trip, and more.

@KlaudiyaG: As a fan of adrenaline, I just can’t not give a shout-out to @alexandradias who shared a wonderful post called, “Adventure sports in São Paulo - Brasil.” What I like about her post is that it has a lot of useful information. She mentioned some of the best places to find extreme sports in São Paulo and shared a little bit about her own experiences participating in them.

@VasT: This week, I was captivated by “Addis Ababa Through My Eyes,” a post written by Local Guide @Tosan. In it, he describes his experience visiting Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for the first time. What I appreciated the most were his tips and his “places of interest” lists. One of the places that stand out for me is Habesha Restaurant, which doesn’t just have food but also traditional dances and live music.

@MortenSI: This week, I stumbled upon “Mural painting on the wall of rubbish dumps in Comilla, Bangladesh” by Local Guide @ASMHasan, and the post really caught my attention. This is the story of how two local artists decided to use their talents to change people’s perspective on littering. This post really inspired me, because it shows that even though you can’t go and directly fix the problem, you can use the tools you have to make an impact. If you want to feel inspired to do better, I recommend you check out this post.

@MoniDi: My favourite post for this week is “My first solo road trip. USA. Day 1: Valley of Fire” by Connect Live 2018 attendee @NatalkaR. She decided to travel around the U.S. after the big event. What inspired me the most is that it was her first solo road trip. If you want to find out more about her unforgettable voyage and see some beautiful photos, make sure to check out her post.

Tell us about some of the best posts you’ve read on Connect lately and be sure to keep an eye out next week to see if one of your posts is selected for Friday Favorites! You can check out last week’s Friday Favorites here.
