Hello,

I need sunshine and inspiration so am planning to take my laptop, film camera and swimming suite and have a working type holiday/adventure for 2-3 months. I was thinking of flying in to Rio and stay there for a couple of weeks to get organised and decide exactly what to do. The rough idea is to head up the north cost to Bhai in April and finally end up in Manaus in May. Then fly back to Rio to go back to London in beginning of June.

I am hoping to find one sunny buzzy place with friendly people, things to do and nice quiet beaches to stay for 3-4 weeks. Not sure exactly where but somewhere north east.

I have tried to find alternatives to hotels, home stays and hostels. Is there anywhere I could privately rent a bungalow or similar for 1 person by the beach?

Does this sound like a good plan in regards to avoiding rain, time-scale and security? Baring in mind I am female travelling on my own with lots of equipment.

If anyone is planning a similar trip and fancy meeting up on the way that would be cool to.

Thanks in advance. And maybe see you in Brazil:)

Sofia

ps let me know if you have an idea for a documentary film too......
