Can anyone spot one other “gringo” in the crowd with me?? People often ask me why I choose to live in a so called “third-world country”, in one of the worlds Top 10 most dangerous cities, where only 1% of the population speak English… ...and my answer is simple; Perspective & positivity Living here amidst the vibrant energy of the welcoming and warm Brazilian people in this weeks celebrations of Carnaval, has taught me lessons no classroom or boardroom ever could. It's about embracing diversity, understanding resilience, and the sheer joy found in communities coming together, even against the odds. This city, with its challenges, is also a place of untold beauty, unwavering spirit, and incredible warmth - most of it not spoken in my native tongue, but felt deeply in every beat of the music, every smile and caiphirinha shared during these festivities. It's a reminder to me that life's richest experiences often come from the most unexpected places. So, why do I choose to stay? Because every day, this 'third world' city teaches me something new about the world, about humanity, about life and about myself. And that, to me, is worth more than all the ‘riches’ I could find anywhere in the so-called 'first world'. God bless Brazil and its uniquely positive people 🙏🏽🇧🇷 #remotework #livingabroad #gringoinbrazil #carnaval #brazil #brasil #homeoffice

For expats in Mexico, Holy Week, known as Semana Santa, followed by Easter Week, represents a captivating blend of cultural and religious traditions deeply ingrained in the country's fabric. As the culmination of the Lenten season, which spans 40 days leading up to Easter Sunday, Holy Week holds profound significance. During this time, Mexico embraces various customs and observances, with communities across the nation joining in solemn processions and religious ceremonies. Elaborate reenactments of Jesus' Passion and Crucifixion are central to the week's events, drawing crowds to witness these sacred rituals. Amidst this spiritual atmosphere, expatriates have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Mexican culture, gaining a deeper understanding of the country's deeply-rooted traditions and fostering connections with the local community during this sacred season. Moreover, as many Mexicans travel to visit family or go on vacation during Holy Week and Easter Week, expats may find it an ideal time to explore popular tourist attractions, such as Mexico City, with fewer crowds and a more relaxed atmosphere.

🎄✨ Christmas on January 7th Today, while many have moved past the holiday season, I am celebrating Christmas with family in Macedonia. Yes, it's Christmas Day for us, following the Julian calendar, a tradition shared by several cultures around the world! 📆 But why do we celebrate Christmas almost two weeks after December 25th? It all goes back to 1582. The Gregorian calendar was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII as a refinement of the Julian calendar to more accurately reflect the time it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun. While many countries adopted this new system, others continued following the Julian calendar for their cultural and religious observances, leading to this unique difference in dates. 🌍 This divergence in calendars is more than a historical curiosity; it's a reflection of how our understanding of time can be shaped by traditions and beliefs. It's fascinating to think about how different cultures perceive and measure time, each with its own historical and cultural significance. 🎂 Adding to today's significance, it's also my father's birthday! This personal coincidence of celebrations gives me a deeper appreciation for how special days can bring layers of joy and meaning to our lives. 🤔 In a broader sense, this variance in celebration dates is a gentle reminder of the diversity and richness of human experience. So, here's to January 7th – a day of Christmas cheer for some, and a wonderful example of our world's diverse and fascinating cultural landscape for others. Wishing everyone celebrating today a Merry Christmas, and a day filled with joy and warmth! #christmas #juliancalendar #culturaldiversity #history #macedonia P.S. Cheers with a ginger shot 🥂

May 8. May-8. Mate. 🤝 Today is the 8th of May, and while you might not recognise the date (and might not have any idea what it’s symbolic of), we’re here to tell you that today IS pretty important for some of us. Suggested as a better, more appropriate and respectful day to celebrate ‘Australia Day’ (which we, here at EVER, do not celebrate on the 26th of January), the 8th of May is a day to focus on friendship and connection. If you, like us, don’t celebrate the 26th of January, and are looking for a different day to love our country and the people who live here, it might be worth considering May 8.
