The story of my trip around the world to train, teach and compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and other grappling arts.


iPhone stolen by pickpocket, might go to Antarctica.

So, first day in South America, I get my phone stolen by a pickpocket at the train station. There are a few things, that I knew would happen on this trip, such as food poisoning and theft, so it doesn’t come as a surprise to me. It sucks, of course, but I am sure some boy in the favela is happy with his new toy. Lost a few notes I had written, but other than that nothing more than the usual naked photos of myself. They might be available online shortly, for a small monthly subscription fee.

I went on a nice city tour today with Carlos and Gary, taking the cable car all the way up the mountain. This city is really, really beautiful. Staying in a nice hostel with rooftop pool for only $10 a night!

Setting foot in South America also marks a big day in my personal traveling career, since I have now visited six out of the seven continents. Only one left is Antarctica… Which is actually not that far away… Hmmmm….? :-P
