Vol.12 Issue 10 nov/dec 2016 | SKORCHMAG.COM | 42 would say I am a fairly open-minded and worldly person. I have travelled to various corners of the globe from my homeland of New Zealand, and about two years ago I met the man of my dreams (on Tinder! It was love at first swipe, but that’s an entirely different story). He is Brazilian, and until recently we have been living in New Zealand, learning to familiarize and harmonize ourselves with one another and our newly adopted cultures. About six months ago we decided it was only fair for us to spend some time closer to the place he calls home, and so we made the move and I now find myself learning to adapt to a new life in Brazil. One thing that has struck me here, being the physically unremarkable white NZ-Pakeha girl that I am, is the Think of Brazilian Carnival. Beautiful women.. Big smiles, round bottoms, and big attitude!
