]]> It was just a few weeks ago that a friend of mine shared this article about expectations versus reality tourist photos – and whilst a lot of them are true, it’s slightly exaggerated, especially when it comes to Rio’s Copacabana and Ipanema. With that in mind, on my recent trip to Brazil, I managed to explore some hidden gems of beaches including Cabo Frio, Arraial do Cabo, Buzios, Praia Grande do Arraial do Cabo (which was my absolute favourite), Praia Tartaruga and more. Here’s a selection of some highlights – more can be seen on my Instagram too.

I’ve just spent the five days in what can only be described as paradise – Soma Bay on Egypt’s Red Sea Coast. Specifically La Residence des Cascades, but experiencing the resort’s wider hotel offering, the beaches of the peninsula, the golf courses, Thalasso spa, 5* cuisine and more.

What has made the experience even more ideal is that I was able to spend it with my best friend Ella and brother Oz. We managed to document the majority of the trip via Instagram and Snapchat: nikthakkar but also shot a couple of editorials in the desert, below. More details on the experience to come.
