Kiki and Luis
Bom dia gente! Tudo bem? We've decided to skip the blender. Of course we'd love to have our own sheets, couch and towels (furnished apartments will one day come to an end), but we enjoy splurging on experiences as long as we can share in it together. Since Spain won the World Cup, we've been joking that we would go to the next World Cup...and also joked that it would be for our honeymoon. Joke no more! We decided that going to the World Cup would be a lovely gift and we're excited! Kiki also loves Brazil and misses the place she once called home. (Estou voltando gente...com o meu panamenho!) Take a look at what we have planned below...and we promise to share photos! Beijos!!
