I’m super jealous you were able to spend the whole of the month in such a beautiful place! I love all the colours, and it looks so peaceful and empty at the moment. The government issue sounds serious, I hope it doesn’t impact you or your travels

I think you might be right about the reporting in the States. They are keen to mention anything that distracts just how bad things are there.

I am very glad you’re in a area that feels a bit more safe. And OH MY GOODNESS, I love the look of your amazing Air B&B. It may not be near a big supermarket, but I’d swap a supermarket for those beaches any day! Stay safe Kevin!

I don’t know much about South America – coronavirus or not – so this post was super informative. I can relate to having your plans completely changed by corona and being stuck (even positively) somewhere that isn’t your home. Glad you’re staying safe – and very jealous you have beaches to social distance on!

It’s so interesting to learn about what the situation is really like in another country! In the UK things are opening up and although cases have dropped there is a risk cases could spike again as things open up. I totally get that they want to try and restart the economy too though and help people who are out of work. It’s definitely a tough call. It looks like you’re in a great spot for the next month, I love how colourful it looks there

I am glad you’re staying safe in Brazil, and have been able to explore safely, despite the pandemic. I’m sure it helps to have such beautiful beaches around since most indoor activities are canceled. I am excited to see how other towns in Brazil are handling reopening in your coming posts.

Glad that you’re staying safe and exploring these places Kevin. I hope you make it to Lisbon as planned! Ubatuba looks like a beautiful destination – it’s been wonderful following your posts and hearing about these new places. Look forward to reading about Cunha.

Your experience in Ubatuba in the midst of the lockdown makes for fascinating reading. The Air BnB you have hired looks awesome. This corner of Brazil looks heavenly. Stay safe and healthy.

Your Airbnb looks like a really nice place, and Ubatuba also seems to be a beautiful city worth visiting. Since the Covid-19 situation in the USA is really bad, you did good to stay in Brazil as we don’t think it’s worse than in the USA. Over here in Europe, borders and everything else have reopened again since last week. In France for example (our neighboring country from thousands of commuters come every day…), people are not even forced to wear masks anymore! We personally find this irresponsible, since we have no idea if there will be a second wave or not. So we both keep wearing our mask when we go out and avoiding crowded places.

I’ve really enjoyed keeping up with your posts during lockdown as I think it’s so interesting to see how Covid is being handled in other countries and the impact it’s having on people living there. It’s such a shame that there has been no economic support for people in Brazil.

I think you made an interesting point about how the US have focused to heavily on Brazil, I think many government and media outlets in the UK have similarly been focusing on other countries as a way of potentially deflecting from the issues at home.

Thanks for sharing, it looks like a nice place to stay as long as you keep your distance We had to suddenly come back to our country when it all started and now live in an Airbnb because we gave up our rent just a month before… Hope you’ll be able to catch that flight to Lisbon safely in August!
