My name is Brad Scott and this is my story. The story of a man, his mid-life crisis after very serious illness. The chance meeting of a wonderful Brazilian woman and the start of a subsequent dream trip. This story will hopefully inspire you and prompt you into action to do those things you have always dreamt off before it's too late. I had been planning my trip for such a long time. The problem was that life's obstacles always seemed to get in the way. Then I began to wonder if there ever was going to be a right time. Well that day arrived but under the worst possible circumstances. I hope you enjoy my story and don't make the same mistakes I did.
