For those of you who follow me over at my personal blog, or this travel blog, you probably already know that I spent the past month or so in South America.  If you haven’t been keeping up on my travels, I’ll go ahead and give you the quick 411.  Last month, I embarked on a trip to Rio de Janeiro to complete a consulting project for the 2016 Rio Olympic Organizing Committee.  It was an incredible experience, and while I spent a lot of time working and in meetings, I made sure to save plenty of time to explore the city as well.  And of course, being the blogger that I am, I wanted to share the experience with you all and highlight some of the great things to do and see in Rio.  Thus, over the next couple of weeks, I will be publishing a 10-part series on traveling to and around Rio, and I’ll be offering tips on where to go, what to eat, where to stay, and so on, so that perhaps, down the road, you might consider traveling to Rio too!
