Obrigado Fatima! Per la tua ospitalità ed anche per il tuo aiuto! Thank You really much! The apartman is located in the best place of Rio! Fatima and her Husband are really generous and helpful! I only could recommend them and the house! I' ve spent an awesome time there! She is my Brazilian Mum :P Muito Obrigado Querida :)IvóJune 2016
Fatima was so great I really felt like home at her place. very cosy apartment in a good area. Thanks a lot Fatima!SidneyMarch 2016
The place is fantastic, air conditioned, has good wifi, and so close to the beach and great food. Communication is excellent; this is an amazing value! Would love to stay again next time I'm in Rio.RyanJanuary 2017
I had the greatest experience that I have ever had while in Brazil with Fatima! Her cozy home was clean and felt very warm. She allowed me to check in late at the last minute and I really appreciated that. I can't wait to return and stay with her...This this place is so much better than a hostel!MauriceMay 2016
My stay was great. I have no complaints at all. The bedroom is clean, quiet and has a great location. I recommend it.JuanDecember 2016
The apartment is very good located and secure.The room and The bathroom are very clean. Fatima is lovely and very kind, she was like my mother, she made everything to make me feel confortable. Her husband is very kind too. I went to many places with Airbnb but this one was the best. And one of The cheapest too. Highly recommendedAndreas February 2016

Fatima was always very nice and she tries to help you with everything you need. The location is great and felt safe to me, very close to the beach and the public transports. The room is a bit small, but the air conditioning is really good in the hot weather of Rio! Muito obrigado FatimaGiulioMarch 2016

Jacqueline has an incredible appartment in a great location, and is a very welcoming and attentive hostess, making sure I had everything I needed - highly recommended (host speaks excellent English)kateOctober 2016
Jacqueline's apartment is really nice, comfortable, air-conditioned, clean and in a nice area. Jaqueline helped us with everything, so for example we could leave our bags at the reception on our last day. Very good place to stay in Rio!RosaFebruary 2017
Clean room, did not mind when we arrived late from the airport. Safe building, close to beach and amenities. Have a telescope which we can see sights from the window.AhimzaSeptember 2016
Jaqueline's place is ideal to explore Rio, situated in a very safe and quiet part of Copacabana. The building is quite new, with doorman, security and various facilities. Her place is very clean, better than I expected, has AC and all amenities you could nees. Plus, the views from the room are amazing. I would stay again if I will have the chance.IoanJanuary 2017
The place is great, new with high quality inclusions. After reaching the 6th floor by elevator, you need to carry the luggage one or two floors, depending which apartment you have. The rooms in the two apartments are very sunny and bright. The upper apartment has a queen size bed but no kitchen although a fridge is there for wine, fruits or snacks. A small veranda is nice to sit outside if not too hot. A wide range of tv channels are available with high speed wifi and an AC. The lower level apartment has a kitchen but the single beds are on top of each other with a pool and a large veranda. Super clean and there is a woman who cleans everyday if required. The swimming pook ang gym can be used in the first floor of the building along with a dry sauna. Tha entrance room is used by the owner at the present. It is a high quality living in this building with a door man 24×7.BachirJanuary 2017
Great clean place, view and location near metro and beach. Jaqueline speaks fluent English and responds within minutes. Very accomodating, friendly amd helpful. Fabulous hostStigAugust 2016
Great Place...Jaqueline is very helpful, friendly and replies super fast in perfect English. Great room (mini apartment) in the heart of Copacabana...also right next to metro. Would recommend this to anyone and might very well come back soon.StigAugust 2016

The entire experience was wonderful. Not a single bad thing to mention. Richard was very responsive and endured that we had a wonderful stay. We would definitely stay again.RobertJune 2015
Brilliant! Couldn't have asked for a better experience while in Rio. The apartment location is perfect as it renders the right balance of quiet and very active life. Restaurants and bars just around the corner and the beach just a short walk away. Richard was great and should I ever find myself in Rio again, I'd definitely contact him for availability.Richard June 2014
The apartment is great, clean and well located. The host was easy to get in contact; Perfect stay.JulianaNovember 2016
The appartment is perfectly located, just a 10 min footwalk from leblon beach, in a safe neighbourhood with plenty of bars,restaurants and shops and little monkeys in the trees - the police station being opposite the street. The appartment's interior is just wonderful. You feel that Richard has a lot of taste and that he really cares about good design and his guests. In addition, the appartment was totally clean and we even got an additional free cleaning after 4 days. Furthermore we liked the welcoming drinks and fruits Richard had provided. We enjoyed our stay so much and would definitely recommend the appartment. Muito obrigado Richard.Jörg October 2015
Thank you Richard for the great stay! The Loft is even better than what the pictures show. Very functional and beautiful space, located in a very pleasant street in Leblon, which is the best neighborhood in Rio. Close to the beach and to the best restaurants and bars. Highly recommended. :)RuteJune 2014
Richard was uber nice. His aparment is a jewel. The location um espectaculo and the restaurants close by are unreal. Highly recommended but I wish you don't book it next one I want it.MarceloNovember 2015
I spent a weekend at Richards apartment and was extremely pleased with the experience. Beautiful, well decorated and equipped loft in one of the nicest neighborhood in Rio.

Não tivemos contato pessoal com o Vincent mas toda a comunicação transcorreu de forma bem eficiente. Gostamos muito da experiência no apartamento.

Carlos and his wife were absolutely amazing and we had a very nice stay with them. They were super helpful and caring and made us to feel really welcome and like at home. They made our stay in Rio truly great. I would warmly recommend their lovely flat. The flat is located in a nice and convenient part of Rio, with a beach right at the door step. The flat is tastefully decorated, clean and with all amenities on hand.JanaSeptember 2015
They made me feel very welcomed and they were fun to be around. I really enjoyed staying there because it felt like my home as well, I felt like I could always approach them if i needed help and they were really friendly.NarisciaOctober 2016
Awesome experience in Rio, thanks to both Carlos and Beth. We really appreciated the brief introduction to the city's most iconic turistic places and the maps they provided. Few people take time to explain guests such valuable information. Cool place to rest, neat and cozy.John JairoNovember 2015
At very short notice Carlos and Beth allowed to extend my stay. They are top, top people with a fantastic apartment. Which is more than can be said for where I'm staying since I left their place! Would highly recommendBenJuly 2014
The hosts, Carlos and Beth, were so welcoming that I felt at home right away. They were really a very accommodating couple. The place, which is located in one of Rio's high claas neighborhood, is exactly as it looks in the photos. There is a big flat screen tv and a small fridge in my room which I really liked and the bed WOW. If you choose stay at this place while in Rio you will not regret it. Also, a tip, on a really nice day visit Urca, you will love this place. Just tell the taxi driver you want to go to Bar Urca. There you can have some drinks by the bay. Thanks again Carlos and Beth! Till next time...EmelitoDecember 2015
Hello all! Be sure you stay with Carlos and Betty. Kind people. Carlos showed me around for a couple of hours when I got there, which was good to get a layout of the neigborhood. The place is literally 2 minutes walking from the beach in Leme and 15 minutes to Copacabana Beach. The room is secure so you don't have to worry about your valuables. They have other Airbnb people staying there sometimes but if you are a private person then they respect that. If you happen to get the smaller of the two bathrooms, then it is quite small. I'm 6' 6" so I didn't fit very well but I managed. Primary location and greats hosts.PaulDecember 2015
Very nice appartment just 1 min walk from the beach and nice restaurants. Carlos and Élisabeth were really nice and welcoming . They will give you good advice and a lot of info. The place is clean (sanitize) and confortable. You have everything you need . It s much better than a hotel . It s like your own place . The location is perfect and safe. Don't hesitate to book here you won't regret it. Thank you Carlos and Beth for everything. Hope to see you soon. ObrigadalisaMay 2016

The experience was grand. This provided the perfect escape and getaway and was indeed exactly what I was looking for. The house is perched on top of the lip between 2 small mountains, at the highest point of Lake Lagoa. With a view that is unmatched adorned by tall trees, a pool, adorable puppies everywhere, waking up to the sounds of cheerful birds playing in the air, the place was incredible. My favorite part of my bedroom was the hammock outside, where I spent most of my day working on my laptop. Francisco is also an amazing musician, composing songs from his heart and effortlessly providing an uplifting environment with his music.MarianDecember 2016
Francisco and Paulo are the best!!! These both amazing hosts take airbnb to the next level. The location is amazing, although the pictures can't capture all the beauty of this hidden gem. As I arrived there late and was too tired to go to a restaurant. Paulo provided some food. He saved that day. They are both totally warm hearted and great guys !! They give you the feeling that you are at home and that's why they are super hosts. I really hope to visit you again and show other people the beaty of Rio and your beautiful apartment!! Obrigado:)DennisAugust 2016
I've stayed a week in this flat and loved it! The place is nice and quite cosy, in the middle of the nature, nearly on top of a hill. Great view on the lake from the room and i've spend plenty of time chilling in the hammock. Only a 15min ride in uber to Ipanema. Paulo was really nice, always checking if everything was fine! Be careful to love dogs if you choose this place since there are plenty of them, really cute ;)MatthiasJanuary 2017
How to start? First of all we arrived WAY before the check-in time and Francisco did his best and our room was ready within 30 min! Incredible! Lovely view, small hammock, the room was really nice! Then I got sick (and had to stay in bed for a few days) one night I had to go to the doctor (at midnight and Francisco came with me and my girlfriend. He stayed until 2 am with us to help us with translation! I have never had such help by any Airbnb hosts in my life! We also got plenty of tips from him and Paulo on what to visit and what to do! You also have to love dogs as there are a few of them in the house! We almost took Aspen with us :-D Thanks again Francisco!GillesNovember 2016
Francisco was very lovely and accommodating! What a great host with great dogs! Lovely house, very safe! Only downfall was its location at the top of a hill - hard to access/tiring by foot. Cab was necessary to get home! But very quiet and peaceful place to sleep!CayleySeptember 2016
Francisco and Paulo were friendly and helpful, the view from the balcony is great and the house is very spacious. It is quite remote from the main parts of Rio (but Uber is cheap so not too difficult), which I guess could be great or bad depending what you're looking for. Very cute dogs.MattOctober 2016
Francisco was a star: as I was travelling by myself he included in his daily life by inviting me to go out with his friends. He made me try s homemade fajoada and very importantly he helped me retrieve my phone, which I forgot in a uber. The house has got the best view and its exactly what the pictures show :) I'll be back!AlessandroSeptember 2016
Well, I enjoyed my stay so much I decided to extend my stay an additional 2 nights! I think that says it all...great experience! When you stay with Francisco you are not visiting Rio, but truly feel like you're living in Rio!M.K.July 2016

Regina e Carlos, Eu e Mateus agradecemos MUITO pela oportunidade de se hospedar em seu apartamento. Localização excelente, local seguro, do lado da praia, comunicação excelente, vocês foram muito prestativos, nos respondendo sempre (até achei que eu tava meio chato perguntando tanta coisa haha), amamos de verdade ficar no seu apartamento, os snacks, as informações, as ajudas, TUDO. O apartamento é incrivel, funcional, ideal para 2 pessoas que passam o dia turistando, pegando praia e etc. Gostei muito das cadeiras de praia, ajudou a economizar uma boa grana hahaha. Não tenho do que reclamar do apartamento, do Rio de Janeiro e vocês fizeram nossa viagem ainda mais perfeita! Com certeza iremos voltar e nos hospedar no seu apartamento haha e vou indicar para os amigos tb! Obrigado Regina e Carlos.MarceloJanuary 2017

Todo espectacular !!!JavierAugust 2016
El departamento es tal cual se ve en las fotos, no tiene grandes lujos, pero cumple 100% las expectativas que teniamos.. El departamento queda a 5 minutos a pie de Copacabana, tiene farmacias, panaderia y supermercados cerca, ademas de locales para almorzar y desayunar. El unico detalle a considerar, es que de noche, el sector es un poco oscuro y eso tiende a dar inseguridad, pero en lo personal, en los 6 dias que estuve nunca tuve ningun problema. Cabe destacar que regina y su esposo estuvieron siempre atentos a nuestras preguntas, muchas gracias! 100% RecomendadomatiasFebruary 2017
Regina foi a melhor anfitriã que já tivemos. Nos recepcionou muito bem, com diversos mimos, como snacks e refrigerante, além de nos deixar um presente feito por ela.KarineAugust 2016
Regina foi ótima, bastante atenciosa e nos recebeu muito bem. Nos deixou água, refrigerante e um cesta com snacks diversos. O local é aconchegante é funcional e gostei bastante da localização.OtonOctober 2016
O que dizer do apartamento da Regina? Até agora estamos encantados. Fui com o meu namorado e ficamos lá por 4 dias e 3 noites. O checkin foi excelente, assim como o checkout. Regina e seu marido se colocaram a disposição e deixaram seus números para que a gente entrasse em contato caso fosse preciso. A comunicação antes de alugar o espaço da Regina foi nota mil e a flexibilidade dela foi fora de série. Ao chegar no apartamento no dia marcado Regina nos recebeu pessoalmente e apresentou todo o espaço para nós. Muito delicada e hospitaleira, deixou água e refrigerante na geladeira, bolachas e chocolates, toalhas e lençóis limpos, pasta de dente, sabonetes, secador e etc... As fotos são fiéis ao apartamento, que apesar de pequeno é muito aconchegante. A portaria é 24hrs e todos os porteiros são atenciosos. O andar é tranquilo e o bairro também... fica a uma quadra da praia, recomendamos fortemente. Obrigada Regina e Carlos por nos receber tão bem, com certeza quando voltarmos vamos nos hospedar no apartamento de vocês. Obrigada, e como ja te falei, o rio de janeiro não seria o mesmo sem vocês.

Natasha and Antoine were amazing! They were extremely attentive (from the beginning with their fast response) and incredibly welcoming. Natasha gave us great tips for things to do in the city and places to eat both in the neighborhood and around the city. The location of the apartment itself is amazing since it is central to everything: walking distance from Copacabana beach, walking distance from the metro, walking distance from Pão de Açúcar, and cheap cab rides to pretty much any part of the city you're interested in visiting. Overall, a great experience!JasmineAugust 2015
Natasha was a great host, she was very helpful and provided us with all the answers we needed. Place was so new and nice you wish you could stay there for much longer :). The flat is located in Botafogo which is a great district for tourist as it is centered between famous spots in Rio. I would totally recommend this host to everyone :)LauraJuly 2016
I would say perfect! The only problem was that they are too kind :)enricoMarch 2016

Very nice place to stay in the safe neighborhood of Botafogo. The location of the flat is perfect: right in the middle of the Cristo Redentor, Pao de Açucar and Ipanema & Copacabana beaches. Natasha, Antoine and Nicolas warmly welcomed us and gave us many tips to enjoy the city at its best.etienneAugust 2015
Wonderful experience! Natasha and Antoine were very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and big enough, and their whole apartment felt very comfortable to stay in. Botafogo (the area) itself is not really a tourist destination, but an excellent (as in: safe, has shops, connections, is central) base from which to explore Rio. Would warmly recommend and would gladly visit again.MichaelNovember 2015
I cannot recommend Natasha and Antoine enough, they have been absolutely incredible hosts. The reviews I had read before booking were extremely positive and I can completely see why. They made me feel at home from the moment I arrived, explaining everything I needed to know about the flat, the neighbourhood and exploring the city. They gave me incredible tours of Botafogo, pointing out great places to eat, drink and shop as well as giving me recommendations and valuable advice for visiting other sights in Rio . It is the family atmosphere that I loved most about this apartment though. I never once felt like a stranger staying someone else's house, instead like I was part of the family. It really has been a home away from home.Jack October 2016

My friend and I stayed in Vinicius apartment for 6 nights in Dec 2015. As Vinicius was away, we were greeted by the warm hospitality from Vinicius' mum when we arrived at the apartment at almost midnight. The apartment is located at Laranjeiras and is within walking distance to Princesa supermarket as well as the tram station to Christ The Redeemer. The apartment is also accessible to various places by the many public bus services which ply along Laranjeiras. Most of the times we travelled using public buses and metro. Just turn left from the apartment and walk downslope, you are ready to start your adventure in Rio. Even though we didn't speak Portuguese and Vinicius' parents spoke little English, we could still communicate via (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Translator. Vinicius was always ready to help and he responded as promptly as he could via (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) and Airbnb private messages. All basic amenities (wifi, washing machine, microwave oven, stoves, filtered drinking water) are available in the apartment. The apartment is quite old, but we got used to it after a day or two. In summary, it was a pleasant stay at Vinicius' apartment.Bee LengJanuary 2016
This is a good house, everything is very convenient, very quiet and safe, very close to Monte Cristo, you can walk to. Vini is very friendly,we are stay here for a week, very happy, like in our home. 强力推荐中国的朋友,如果来里约,选择维尼做房东,中文交流无障碍,他家有几个房子可以选择最合适的,性价比超高的!guoweiAugust 2014
Neat, tidy, and located in one of Rio's safest neighbourhoods. Laranjeiras is truly wonderful. Although I did not meet Vinicius he was easily reached via email and his father was quite helpful. Next time I am in Brazil I would definitly stay here again.AlexanderNovember 2015
We had an amazing stay at Vinicius' place. His parents are very sympathic and made us feel comfortable like at home. The appartement is clean, comfortable, well equiped and have a lot of cachet! It is well situated for the transportation, groceries and attractions. And it s calm ( I could hear the birds singing in the morning! Awesome!!!!). Vinicius is also very well organised ( he provided us a very usefull guide for buses, restaurants and must see sites). Thank you very much to you and your familly Vinicius. I warmly recommand your place !JohanneApril 2016
Vinicius dad was very helpful! He gave us a map of the area to help us as we explored. Vinicius kept in contact with us and was able to give us guidance and advice when we needed. We enjoyed ourselves very much! Next time we're in Rio de Janeiro we will see if there's a room at Vinicius's! The house was within walking distance to bus, supermarket, bank, dining, mall, etc. Thank you Vincius and our Rio Dad!AngelDecember 2015
We had an excellent two night stay in Vinicius' house. Vinicius was not around but he kept in contacting from the moment we booked and throughout our stay and provided us with every bit of information we needed, thank you! Vinicius' family welcomed us on our arrival and showed us the house,and invited us to use all the facilities. Vinicius' brother provided us a city map and recommended the one day tour route for us in his fluent Chinese, really helpful! The house is clean and cosy, it is about a 15-20 minute walk to the Christ the redeemer and there are a variety of buses a short walk from the house. We highly recommend Vinicius' house in RIO.MinFebruary 2016
My plane was canceled by United Airline and only manage to land at 2am. The host parents welcome and open the door for us even at 2am!! 2am!! They recommend us few places. Although throughout my stay I didn't manage to see Vinicius, but the parents treated us very well. The neighbourhood is very safe, securities all around. On the last day, the host father give us a free ride to airport, without any charges. If you are looking for Airbnb stay in Rio, this is the place to be. Very near to bus stop, safe neighbourhood, friendly host, walking distance to Christ Redeemer, clean and cheap! Tips: 1. Take bus rather than Metro. Bus is accessible to almost everywhere. 2. Come on Saturday, there is a flee market happening around the neighbourhood and good street foods, beer and MUSIC! Feels like a Music festival there.Jonathan Wei HongMay 2015
I had such a terrific experience at Vinicius's place. Unfortunately, he was not in town but he constantly checked up on me to make sure everything was going well. Whenever I had a question, he replies back immediately. Although I could not communicate with his parents since I do not speak Portuguese, I still enjoyed my experience. House was clean and it was located in a safe neighborhood. Highly recommended to others!anthonyMay 2015

Just repeating what people already have said, the location is really great, just very close to the beach, shopping, bars, etc. As described, the apartment itself is very small, but does the job for a single person, and I believe it works well for a couple too. Loved that the flat is in an old traditional type of building and on the ground floor. Powerful air-conditioning and equipped with everything I would need for my short stay. Communication was good and Brunello was always available and quick at replying to my messages via wahtsApp. I do recommend Brunello's place.ReyMarch 2016
The department is equal to the published photos. It is small but ideal for two people. At night it is a bit noisy, the apartment is on the ground floor and is close to the main entrance , so you hear when neighbors come and go . It has everything you need for a nice stay . The neighborhood is very nice, everything is close . Although we did not meet the owner for our times check -in and check -out, he was very friendly and kept in touch by phone. I'm sure if would return to Rio de Janeiro would decide to staying here .JulietaDecember 2014
Brunello' s place is nicely designed and it is tiny. Perfect for couples. The area of Ipanema is amazing. It is really a great spot. The communication with Brunello was great. We loved Rio!KAROFebruary 2014
Brunello was a lovely, patient host. He welcomed us warmly and gave us brilliant ideas and insight into things worth doing and seeing in Rio. The apartment is small, but perfectly formed and in an excellent location! Thank you for the short, but sweet stay.MichelleSeptember 2014
Brunello was a responsive and considerate host. He takes pride in his space and was quick to respond to any questions I had. The apartment is small (as indicated in the listing) but better-designed and better ambiance than most of the more expensive 1-br options I saw available in the neighborhood when I booked it. It's on the bottom floor, so don't expect direct sunlight. For those unfamiliar with the neighborhood, his apartment is on a great shaded residential street in one of the best parts of Ipanema.JulieMay 2016
The place is tiny, as is represented in the pictures, but nicely laid out and stylish. Some of the furniture is starting to get a bit shabby, like the striped chair in the corner and the futon bed/couch. Not a huge fan of futons, but that's really a personal preference. The location of the apartment could hardly be better. Short walk to the beach. One of the most desirable areas in Ipanema, with great shops, cafes, and restaurants a short walk. Thought the price to value was really excellent.SteveSeptember 2014
We lived 4 days in this nano apartment. We liked described location. But the apartment studio is VERY small 10 meters so is called NANO it is ideal for one. Minus: - on the 1th floor - very big audibility in the room - it is audible as people behind walls go and talk -in the room one window which comes for pass between houses and a view of a wall of the neighboring house -have not the washing machine -check out is strict 12:00 with your baggage, there is no opportunity to leave baggage for a couple of hours -cleaning +50 dollars Brunello wasn't friendly and isn't hospitable.IgorFebruary 2014

Genilza's apartment was perfect for our needs. It was only one block from a very nice part of Copacabana beach. There were many good restaurants near by and we always felt safe walking, taking the bus or Metro. The air conditioning worked very well and much appreciated on the hot and humid days. The lock on the door to the apartment was hard to unlock but Genilza had it fixed very quickly. I would recommend her apartment for 1 or two people.LenDecember 2015
It was a pleasure to stay at Genilza's place. Even though I booked quite late, everything was handled very quickly and there was no problem to contact her in case of questions. The apartment is nice and clean, and located in a very lively area just one block from Copacabana beach.KoenSeptember 2015
Our stay at Genilza's flat was simply perfect. Clean, cosy and central. Everything you need :) 1 min walk to Copacabana Beach. Highly recommended! Genilza, Obrigada!JuliaOctober 2016
The flat was clean and it was really easy to enter in the apartment beside the fact that we arrive late. Genilza left the key at the reception it was perfect. Moreover the flat is very well located and you are at the beach in one minute by foot. Thanks a lot!ThibautNovember 2016
My wife and I stayed in the apartment for 5 nights in November of 2015. A beautiful apartment in the center of Copacabana beach. The location was wonderful as we were across the street from the beach, walking distance to many restaurants and metro station. The apartment has a daily room service. Genilza is very attentive and welcoming owner. We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend.MikhailDecember 2015

This is clean and well located appartment 1 street from copacabana. The perfect place to stay in Rio. the communication was very good with Genilza who make herself available in case of any query!FannyOctober 2016
Genilza was lovely to me when I arrived - she even helped me carry up my very heavy gear. She clearly explained where everything was and highlighted nice restaurants around the area. The place is a one minute walk from copacabana beach. Ideal for both lazing at the beach and getting to tourist attractions in short taxi rides. The apartment complex to itself feels very safe and secure with friendly security who speak good enough English. The place was clean and convenient. The bathroom water pressure is great. Despite being close to the beach where there is heavy traffic - the windows block out noise sufficiently that it didn't bother me at all. Overall great stay and I would have wanted to stay longer if she didn't have so many other people wanting to stay there too. Oh and good wifi!IZZLESeptember 2016

Fernando and Gustavo were fantastic hosts! They had a list of recommendations ready, and Fernando was always available to help and give suggestions. They were incredibly easy going and friendly - I really enjoyed my stay at their place and getting to know them! Their place is clean and very convenient (beach, metro, buses, supermarkets, restaurants), highly recommended! Thank you for making my stay in Rio fantastic!JosephOctober 2015
Fernando's place is pretty darn epic! It's essentially a 5 bedroom international house (with A/C) about 5 min walking from Copacabana Beach, with easy access to the subway, buses, and taxis. The place was clean, we were provided toiletries, keys, and a plethora of information for sightseeing and activities. Above all, Fernando and his partner Gustavo were 2 of the nicest, most welcoming people I've ever met. I would highly recommend staying here if you're going to be in Rio.AnthonyDecember 2015
Fernando and Gustavo were the perfect hosts! Everything was exactly like in the description, the accomodation was great and Most importantly the two Are lovely, very helpful people who never hesitated if we had a question about Rio or anything else. When we come back to Rio they will ne our first choice as the two weeks in their apartment were such a lovely and fun experience! If anyone is looking for a comfortable, clean, friendly and safe place to stay, which also has the perfect location, they should Check-in at Fernando and Gustavos!!ElenaAugust 2016
AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Booking with Fernando and Gustavo was probably the best decision of our trip. Fernando was an absolutely amazing host from the very beginning; he responded less than 5 minutes after I messaged him, and we kept in contact before, during, and even after the reservation. Unfortunately, as we arrived around Christmas / New Years time, I didn't get to meet Fernando face to face as he was with family, but I have to say that he did an incredible job of preparing everything for our stay and checking in with us to make sure we were comfortable. He is also an extremely great guy: he was available pretty much 24/7 for questions about the apartment or Rio in general. He helped us look into samba schools, gave us restaurant tips, and even interrupted his own vacation to help us contact our next Airbnb host (who was not half as responsive as Fernando). The apartment itself is huge, and the room we stayed in was very large as well. Everything was kept extremely clean, and the apartment has a very chill vibe. There were a few roommates as well, who also helped to make our stay here awesome. The building is nice, and the location is perfect: a 5 minute walk to Copacabana beach, very close to tons of supermarkets, shops, and restaurants, and right near the stops for every main public bus that will take you pretty much anywhere (Barra, Leblon, Sugarloaf, etc). Ipanema is also a pretty easy walk from the apartment, though you could also take the bus if you really want to. I actually can't think of one single thing that I would change, or anything I did not enjoy about staying here; Fernando really helped make our trip. I 100% recommend staying here, and will hopefully do the same on my next trip to Rio!ClarkJanuary 2015
It was really nice to stay in Fernando's big and clean house. I am so glad to be their first Chinese guest and receive the warmest welcome and unlimited helps. You can find all the preparation details from them when you arrive, perfect condition rooms, personal trip tips and any surprised fun from them hospitality. The apartment as it said enjoy the best location in the Copacabana with 5 minutes walking distance to anywhere, the beach, the metro and the bus station. Come to enjoy more and you wouldn't regret to be treated as the best guest from Fernando's hand his partner's hospitality. Thanks again and hope to see you soon in Rio next time;)BellaJanuary 2016
Fernando and Gustavo are the nicest people! Very friendly en coöperatieve. They gave us lots of tips for places to go and things to do. It was our first experience renting a room instead of a whole appartment. I'm very glad we had this first experience at Fernando's and Gustavo's. Even though we shared the same common areas we didn't feel uncomfortable at all! The room was simple but big enough to host me and my wife and a friend of ours (who lives in Brazil). The location is the best! Only a 5 minute walk from copacabana beach and the neighborhood is quiet and save! We recommend this place.MartijnJune 2015
I stayed with Fernando, Gustavo and other guests for a week in Copacabana. Their house is in a great location, convenient to the beach, restaurants, bars shopping etc. Its in a very safe part of Copacabana. Gustavo and Fernando very friendly and fun hosts! They make you feel at home! In fact, they prepared caipirinhas and pastel for every one who was staying! Thanks guys!!!DarioJuly 2016

Everything was good, perfect location and saul is a very friendley person. Would stay again.....MatthiasJanuary 2017
Saul was a great host. He was away a bit in Sao Paolo but his friends were great help and nice company. I arrived early and he made accommodations. If you want to be right on Copa this is the placeRogerJuly 2016
Saul was very responsive and friendly. The accommodation itself is very homely and super close to the beach, restaurants and stores. His cats are quite adorable and friendly as well. His place is highly recommended, and he is very flexible with the check in and check out times.NatyaOctober 2016

I had 3 good nights in a very little and clean room. Lucas is very helpful and friendly. I would stay with him again.UliNovember 2016
Great location, 5 minutes away from Copacabana beach. Great value of money Also. The bedroom is more than enough for just one person who wants to enjoy Rio, and especially the beaches. The communication with Joao and his mom was really easy as they are friendly and helpful. I would stay there again next time.DenisJanuary 2017
Small comfortable room with bathroom just across the room. Great central location with everything within reach Lucas was a friendly accommodating host, went out of his way to make stay comfortable and had nice suggestions for exploring Rio.OscarMay 2016
The host is very helpful and the metro station is very close, which is a huge bonus. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Believe the description when it says the room is compact, but it is perfectly adequate. Overall pleasant place to use as a base to explore Rio.LauraJuly 2016
Great location excellent energy at home. One mother who is a stay at home mom was very accommodating with all of my needs and made me feel at home. Location is awesome minutes from Copacobana. Only recommend staying in this room if your 6 ft tall and under. Room is very compact! Great for a solo travelerChrisAugust 2016
I don't recommend this place as Joao can be difficult to communicate with. I missed a 10:30pm flight and a 1:10am flight at the international airport, which made go back to Joao Lucas facility at 2am. Immediately I repeatdly apologized saying that I was just trying to come back to America (flying stand by). He was very rude when I arrived and and when I asked for a key to lock my bedroom at the same night he didn't know where it was. He also opened my bedroom door without knocking first. The key was lost he said. I decided to leave the place after these issues, called an ubber driver at 2:30am, Joao Lucas went to the lobby of the facility and told me I had to wait outside, I was not allowed to be inside. This was the worst experience I ever had while traveling. Waiting outside was way dangerous for a girl with 2 luggages. This place smells cigarrete and he walks shirtless around the house. Awful experience!JoanaJanuary 2017
João is a very nice host. Even though we had some problems to communicate since my level of portuguese is close to zero, he was always ready to listen to me when I had questions or suggestions to ask. Regarding the room, it is pretty small, but really fine if you are discovering Rio on your own. The location of the apartment is amazing, about 7 minutes to the Copacabana beach and 5 minutes from the closest metro station. Thank you João!ThomasDecember 2016

Anabela's place was great, very clean, cosy and very good central Copacabana location near Posto Two and a five minute walk to the Metro Station Cardeal in Copacabana and a five minute walk to copacabana beach. Also has a supermarket that is open umtil late, a minute walk away. The apartment has great fast wifi. The location is very safe. The apartment has two airconditioners which keep the place very cool. Bed is nice and comfortable and there were extra towells which was really great. Communication with Anabela and her associates was great and they were very responsive. The apartment is great for the budget savvy traveller. I hope this review is helpfulPanagiotis (Peter)January 2017
I had an amazing experience at Anabellas place!!! She was so flexible with our early check in and late check out due to our flight times!!! The apt was so clean and pretty! She was so hands in and helpful! It was in a perfect location 2 blocks from the beach and great restaurants just downstairs! Having a round the clock door man was awesome! I can't wait to go back to rio and would definitely stay here!Joanna July 2016

1947 Packard Custom Clipper Four Door Sedan Maroon
Packard actually began this styling as a late 1941 car. That said, you can see how far ahead this styling was compared to its contemporaries! Although the fenders were still distinguishable, they seemed to flow into the general body lines much more than the competition. Packard continued to build this car for the military during WW2. The interior of this car is indeed deluxe! Raindrops appear on the flawless exterior.
1977 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ
Not many cars this age can claim 27,000 miles and this condition! What you are looking at is the top of the Pontiac Grand Prix line....with the Hurst removable tops, the beautiful velour like upholstery, and gorgeous two tone paint and padded top. Notice how the two tone paint scheme follows the character lines of the hood and trunk. This car was designed by someone with a sense of "art and colour"!
1974 Pontiac Grand Prix J Beige Apopka031012
In 1974, there were two models of Grand Prix, J and SJ. Evidently the SJ had more extras. This one is beautifully preserved. You seldom see an interior in this state of preservation. I like the subdued exterior color, it blends well with the vinyl topped roof and the interior color.
1959 Buick LeSabre Convertible Blu
It's hard to believe this LeSabre series was the least expensive full sized Buick! It seemed to want for nothing. It has a 364 c.i. V8, 250 horsepower. I think this would be a great cruiser, with the super smooth Dynaflow!

ForDireLifeSake Getting Used To Disappointment Lyrics
Last updated: 11/02/2004 12:00:00 PM
This time I'm giving up on you. It's what I'll keep telling myself. The
hourglass has dropped its final grain, I can't complain. I should've
expected more from you. Though I expected more, those big green eyes just
dropped me to the floor. We flickered long ago, now just smoldering ash.
The wind will take it away. In our lungs, through our sorry souls. I
should be there by your side. I've tried. Your affections change with the
wind's directions. I have a confession. I would love to know why you give
me this second hand sympathy, what more do you want from me? Don't leave me
with this. Again.

This review is from: Mediasonic HUR1-SU3S2 2-Bay RAID 0/1/Single USB 3.0/eSATA 3.5" SATA HDD Enclosure
Pros: I was easily able to set up the drive in RAID 1 configuration. The only tricky part was holding the button down inside the drive to set the raid configuration. Key: Hold the button down, press the power button and then let go of the button inside the drive. Otherwise, everything flowed exactly as I expected. It hooked up easily to my Mac Mini and Windows 7 laptop without an issue.
Cons: Newegg web site does not accurately identify the capacity of drives this can handle. I was in a little bit of a panic when the box says it can handle 2 x 2 TB drives. I was pleasantly surprised to find it holds 2 x 4 TB drives according to the documentation and manufacturers web site. That is the reason I marked it down 1 egg.READ FULL REVIEW

Bruce Springsteen to issue fifth new set this decade in January
• Never mind that he just came off the road and finished stumping for Obama: Bruce Springsteen isn't slowing down. He's kept a fairly prolific recording pace lately -- there's been something new just about every year since 2005 -- and today the Boss announced that he will release his fifth album of new material this decade, Working on a Dream, on Jan. 27. It's his 24th work overall, and not surprisingly it was cut with producer Brendan O'Brien, his go-to behind-the-boards man since 2002's The Rising.
What explains the quick turn-around since last year's Magic? Springsteen: "Towards the end of recording (that album), excited by the return to pop production sounds, I continued writing. When ... O'Brien heard the new songs, he said, 'Let's keep going.' Over the course of the next year, that's just what we did, recording with the E Street Band during the breaks on last year's tour."
He went on to say that he hopes Working on a Dream "has caught the energy of the band fresh off the road from some of the most exciting shows we've ever done. All the songs were written quickly, we usually used one of our first few takes, and we all had a blast making this one from beginning to end." Another tour is expected to follow the album's release. Complete track listing after the jump.
• Word is the Roots -- no, really, the Roots -- will be Jimmy Fallon's house band next year when the comedian takes over Late Night from Conan O'Brien and O'Brien moves to Los Angeles to take over The Tonight Show from Jay Leno. Click here to read why drummer Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson thinks it's a very good move for the mighty hip-hop crew -- and why it shouldn't spell the end of touring (at least stateside). After all, Max Weinberg still managed to go out time and again with the E Street Band.
• And the reunited LaBelle -- namesake Patti LaBelle plus co-vocalists Nona Hendryx and the always underestimated Sarah Dash -- have announced their first string of shows behind their new album, Back to Now, the outrageously costumed, pioneering femme-funk trio's first effort in more than 30 years. Their tour kicks off Dec. 19 at the Apollo Theater in Harlem and arrives Jan. 29 at Nokia Theatre. Tickets, $39.50-$95, go on sale Friday, Nov. 21, at 10 a.m. In the meantime, dig the archival clip of "What Can You Do for Me" the group's publicist included in a press release this morning. It appears to be from Don Kirshner's Rock Concert circa 1974.

Talk:Regions of Kazakhstan
|WikiProject Central Asia
|(Rated Stub-class, Mid-importance)
Cite, cite, cite...[edit]
Is there any source for the data? The reason that I don't trust it too much is the data for the following areas:
- Pavlodar: 128,000 (km2)
- Qaraghandy: 85,000 (km2)
Yet if you look at the map, Qaraghandy looks a lot bigger than Pavlodar.
There should be sources somewhere. --Tphcm 10:13, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- geohive offers different figures. Maybye someone could add these. --Hardscarf 19:17, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Things need to do[edit]
- Add better population from Geohive
- Integrate two cities into the table
- Add "1, 2, 3" to match with the map.
- Possibly add Kazakh names (Just in Russian is ridiculous)
Clean up the picture.
--Tphcm 18:23, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Difference in maps?[edit]
I've noticed that the map on this page is different to the maps on the pages for the single provinces -- in particular the provinces numbered 3, 10, 12 and 13. (For example, click "Akmola" in the list of provinces, and note the different borders.) OMHalck 23:37, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Suggested move[edit]
I suggest to move this article to Administrative divisions of Kazakhstan and start expanding it. We have article on administrative divisions on almost all countries, and we need one for Kazakhstan as well. This seems to be a good starting point.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:03, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
Requested move[edit]
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: move this and all related pages from Provinces to Regions.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:59, 5 July 2014 (UTC) Ymblanter (talk) 15:59, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
Provinces of Kazakhstan → Regions of Kazakhstan – WP:OR, province is a Wikipediism. Look at ISO 3166-2:KZ and at the individual websites of the oblast, e.g. Kostanay Region uses "region". Also http://statoids.com/ukz.html uses "region". Individual pages should be adjusted too. Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 14:02, 1 July 2014 (UTC) --Relisted. Armbrust The Homunculus 11:10, 23 June 2014 (UTC) Tamawashi (talk) 15:47, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
- Relisting comment. Giving this another relist and I'll drop a note at the Central Asia WikiProject because if this article is moved to "Regions" it will mean that dozens of sub-articles and categories will also have to be moved. Jenks24 (talk) 14:02, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

"If Lewis does make it into Formula One next year, I really don't expect to be going to many races," Anthony Hamilton said back in Hungary during one of those lazy conversations you tend to have now and then over a coffee in the paddock. "And I'm not sure it would be right for me to continue as his manager."
Well, continue he did. Both as his manager and to go to races. That was until Lewis announced that he had parted company, professionally, with his father in March this year. Since then, Anthony has not attended a single grand prix, and relations between the two have been said to be frosty. That all appears to be changing this weekend, though, as Hamilton Snr attends the British GP.
Back then in Hungary Hamilton, still only 21, was fighting for the GP2 championship. McLaren's Martin Whitmarsh had made it very clear that, to stand any chance of being considered for the Formula One team in 2007, he had to win the GP2 title that season, so the pressure was on. But it was early August, and the Hamiltons were a week or so away from the news they were desperate to hear, that the team really were going to give Lewis his big break.
Strangely, given what was to come, nobody, even in the Formula One paddock, really knew much about Lewis Hamilton, let alone Anthony. The maelstrom that would sweep both to international prominence – the son doing his great things on the track as the father stood nervously in the pits willing him on – had yet to gather the momentum that would be such a feature of the rookie year in 2007. And 2008, when the 23-year-old became champion of the world.
And then came March 2010, and the news that Anthony Hamilton would no longer be managing his son's career, nor coming to races. At the time, Hamilton Jnr said: "A long time ago my father and I discussed this, that he would always be my dad but that at some point it would no longer be right for him to be my manager. We just never knew when that would happen."
Anthony had been there since Lewis started karting at the age of eight. "He's always been there for me," Hamilton said. "Other managers do it for money or other things, but dad did it for love and all the right reasons. There is no sense that we've outgrown each other. He is building his sports management business, he is very focused on GP Preparation, his new venture, and he was instrumental in helping Paul di Resta to get his test drive with Force India. And he is looking after young Nick de Fries, an extremely talented karter who could be the next to follow in my wheeltracks. Our goal was to get to F1, and he's done his job." Back in March, he added: "Anthony has always done things for me for the right reasons, to protect and to guide. No one could have done a better job and I'm thankful that he was there in the tricky situations. I had an unbelievable guy supporting me. It wasn't just emotion controlling him; he had a very logical thought process too. And I still have that support from him as my dad now, rather than as my manager."
It sounded convincing, but behind the scenes there were stories of a dramatic falling-out over Lewis's relationship with the singer Nicole Scherzinger. Hamilton Jnr remained tight-lipped, beyond reconfirming later in the season that he would look for new management as and when he felt the time was right.
This weekend, Anthony Hamilton is his son's guest. Yesterday morning he and his wife Linda, Hamilton's stepmother, visited the grandly titled McLaren Brand Centre for the first time this season, bringing Anthony into contact with John Button at a race for the first time since their offspring became team-mates.
It was Button Jnr, Jenson, who won that race in Hungary when Anthony was suggesting abstinence from race attendance. At the time, it was a long overdue success for the 26-year-old from Frome, whom Lewis admits looking up to in his own days in Cadet karting, when Button was in a more senior category.
Rather like the impending duel between Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher in 1994, much was expected, before the Hamiltons' split, of the manner in which each of the fathers handled the other. There could be no greater contrast between the two. Anthony, 50 now, is tightly wound, ambitious, the man who worked two jobs to keep his boy karting before his suggestion that Lewis introduce himself to the McLaren chief Ron Dennis at the Autosport Awards in 1995 led, indirectly, to the team's sponsorship and mentoring that would eventually take him all the way down the yellow brick road.
John Button, meanwhile, past 60, is a jack-the-lad, salt-of-the-earth fellow, known as "Sloop" as in the Beach Boys song "Sloop John B", a laid-back ex-rallycrosser, whose income came from building engines for young karters via his Rocketsport business. In a nice twist, one of his customers, later one of the top drivers to whom he supplied free engines, was one L Hamilton. Thus the wheel of motor sport turns.
John does not need to be ambitious. He's having the time of his life, travelling the world to watch his kid race and, just as Anthony did a year sooner, seeing him crowned world champion. It's payback for his parental support early in the game. He's droll, outrageously funny at times, always good for an amusing story or anecdote. There because he just loves racing. He's immensely popular.
Of course, he's savvy. Smart enough to drop in the odd word here and there, as he did prior to Brazil last year when some thought his son might fumble his title chance.
"The idea that Jenson should have gone out and tried to win every race is just for the romantics," John said. "What he has been doing for the past few races, rightly in my opinion, has been managing the championship. If you look back, after winning in Monaco, which was the sixth race of the season, Jenson had a lead of 16 points in the championship. If you'd told him that nine races later he would still be leading by 14 points, I think he would have snapped your hand off.
"What people who are doubting his ability to finish the job have conveniently forgotten is that he has led this championship from day one. Jenson's just been starting in the wrong spot, not falling apart in the races as some people have accused him of doing."
Where Anthony was so hands-on that at times insiders were moved to question who was really running McLaren, Button Snr has always been happy in the background. An observer, not a kingmaker. Right from the moment in 2000 when his tearful son told him at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, when Frank Williams finally revealed that Jenson was his choice to partner Ralf Schumacher, "Dad, I'm a Formula One driver," John Button has been the very antithesis of the racing father. And though he has had a say in his son's management, it is not a role he has ever felt moved to fulfil himself.
The parents' bond, however, is knowing how it feels like to spend your last dollar just to keep your son racing.
In the end, though, the psychological battle, Anthony versus John, like Senna versus Schumacher, was something the Formula One world would be denied. And undoubtedly that has helped Lewis and Jenson to maintain their cordial partnership.

Pipeline work will shut down stretch of San Clemente street
For two weeks starting Monday, the downhill stretch of Calle del Cerro from Avenida Vista Montana to Avenida Pico in San Clemente will be closed from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays for installation of a pipeline.
Overnight and on weekends, one downhill lane will be open to traffic along that stretch of Del Cerro, said Amir Ilkhanipour, senior engineer and project manager for a $25 million expansion of the city's recycled-water system.
Motorists who need to travel that stretch of Del Cerro (four-tenths of a mile) will need to detour nearly three miles during the weekday closures. Go uphill on Del Cerro past the summit, then turn left onto Avenida La Pata and left onto Avenida Pico.

Short Courses (CPD)
Short Courses (CPD)
About the Course
Climate Change: Earth System, Future Scenarios and Threats
- Monday 27 November - Friday 1 December 2017: Date not confirmed
The course introduces and describes Earth's climate system with respect to past, present, and future change, and describes climate modelling techniques and scenario outputs, with emphasis on threats to infrastructure and society, scenarios for engineering applications, and associated uncertainties.
The course starts with the science of climate change, dealing with uncertainties and the major issues affecting our understanding of the climate system and its future behaviour.
It then moves on to climate modelling, covering the development, underpinning science and limitations of global and regional models.
The latest approaches using ensembles, downscaling and weather generators are considered to provide the technical background of the latest UKCP09 national projections. Practical illustrations on how to generate and evaluate scenarios for real applications are then given, with hands on use of UKCP09 software. You're encouraged to propose your own case studies in advance for the generation of future climate scenarios and impact assessment.
The course covers the fundamentals of climate science, the earth system, and the causes and evidence of climate change. This knowledge explains how the earth system (natural and human) is affected by climate change. We consider past and present observed changes, and you'll learn how climate models work and the nature (and limits of our knowledge) of the future climate. You'll then be well equipped to apply this and subsequent knowledge to your work. Crucially, you'll have the ability to rebuff common myths and resolve confusion put forward by climate change deniers and the genuinely uninformed, so as to confidently pursue the sustainable engineering agenda.
You may choose to attend the full five day course or:
- Days 1-2 Science of climate change
- Days 3-4 Climate models
- Days 4-5 Climate scenarios and applications
You are welcome to attend for selected days of the course, although you should contact the Professional Development Unit for confirmation of the final timetable before booking, as course schedules are subject to amendment.
Who is the course aimed at?
The course is aimed at those with an interest in understanding the latest science on climate change and those with a focus on applying the latest projections to examine climate change impacts. In particular, the course is invaluable to anyone interested in learning how to use the UKCP09 scenarios and the weather generator tool.

Microbial flora in persons with HIV likely play an important role in various diseases, but the nature of the microbiome in the lungs of persons with HIV has not been studied. High-throughput, DNA sequencing technologies now allow examination of complex microbial communities including organisms that cannot be cultured. These techniques have potential to yield important information about events in the lung during HIV and its associated pulmonary disorders. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is of particular interest in the current era of HIV infection. Pathogenesis of HIV-associated COPD is poorly understood, but one or more infections may upregulate expression of HIV in the lungs, amplify the pulmonary inflammatory response, and lead to release of proteases or pro-apoptotic factors. Data from our group suggest that low level infection with Pneumocystis is increased in HIV-F subjects and associated with anatomic emphysema. Other infections alone or in combination are likely to be important in disease pathogenesis. Application of metagenomic techniques will allow us to determine patterns and changes in the population of microbes that play a key role in the pathogenesis and progression of emphysema in this population. The overall goals of this proposal are to determine the respiratory microbial flora (or microbiota) in HIV-I- and HIV- subjects and to establish its role in pathogenesis and progression of HIV-associated COPD using our ongoing cohorts.
Specific aims of the proposal are: 1. To compare the microbial community structure in the respiratory tract in subjects with and without HIV infection. 2. To test the hypothesis that the respiratory microbiome in HIV-I- subjects with COPD differs from that in HIV-f subjects without COPD and is related to COPD progression. 3. To test the hypothesis that bacterial products in the blood are detectable in HIV-f subjects with COPD and are associated with immune activation. We will perform oral wash, sputum induction, bronchoscopy, and blood draws in HIV- and HIV-I- subjects and carry out high-throughput virus metagenomics and bacterial, fungal and protozoal 16S rDNA analyses for characterization of microbiome population diversity. Results will be used to determine which microbes are present, their relative proportions, their location, and their relationship to HIV and COPD.
This proposal will help us determine which infections are present In the lungs of people with HIV and how the infections might explain why HIV-infected individuals develop emphysema faster than non-HIV-infected people. This information will help us understand and treat emphysema in these patients and in the many non-HIV-infected people who suffer from emphysema.

Hank Wesselman
is the author of 9 books on shamanism including the Spiritwalker Trilogy, The Bowl of Light, and The Re-Enchantment: A Shamanic Path to a Life of Wonder. He conducts anthropological research in Ethiopia investigating the mystery of human origins.
Visionseeker: The Shaman's Path into Illumination
The rediscovery of shamanism has emerged as a major thrust in the spiritual reawakening of the Western world. The techniques of traditional shamans provide an extraordinary method for accessing hidden dimensions of reality and connecting with inner sources of power and wisdom.
Spiritwalker: Shamanic Journeywork and Empowerment
Many of the indigenous peoples perceive that our world is made up of two halves — a world of things seen and a world of things hidden — and they draw no distinction between them. They understand that the two halves present themselves together, mixed into one commonality. They also know that the hidden world is inhabited by a variety of transpersonal forces they call the spirits, and by entering into relationship with them, life can become an extraordinarily enriched adventure.
Visionseeker: Spirit Medicine
Today, interest in complementary and alternative therapies is on the rise, and more people are rediscovering the healing modalities pioneered by indigenous peoples. Among them, the time-tested techniques of the traditional shamans are being reconsidered and reworked, providing nontribal Westerners with effective methods for healing and problem solving.
