Oh! The World Around Us!

Hello! My name is Jill and I am one of the writers for Oh! The Places You'll Go! I have a great love for seeing the world- whether that be through traveling or looking at awesome pictures and articles on the internet. I'm hoping, through this blog, to share some of my experiences and findings to provide the latter for you all!

One of the most incredible places I've been is a small village in Brazil, called Serra Grande Bahia. My high school funded a trip for a group of students and teachers to go down to Brazil and work on a farm while learning Brazilian culture.

This trip combined my love for sustainability, seeing new places, and spending time in the outdoors! It was an amazing experience to fully immerse myself in the land- both literally (with much weeding and digging) and culturally. I learned capoeira, a Brazilian dance-fighting martial art, and enjoyed eating the local cuisine (very local- oftentimes grown right on the farm).

I hope you enjoy reading our blog and more than that, that you are able to learn something and share in our love for discovering new places!
